SF36P000000 Toggle Switch SPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SF36P000000 is an active APEM Inc. toggle switch featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuitry with On-On switching function. Rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC, this panel mount component utilizes PC pin termination with a circular 6.50mm diameter cutout and 1/4-40 bushing thread. The switch is non-illuminated, epoxy sealed, and operates across -20°C to 85°C with 100,000 electrical cycles. Finding equivalent or substitute parts becomes necessary when addressing supply chain constraints, specific mounting requirements, or operational environment demands that may differ from the original specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SF36P000000 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT
• Switch function: On-On
• Current rating: 0.4VA (AC/DC)
• Voltage rating: 20V AC and 20V DC
• Termination style: PC Pin
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Actuator material: Brass, Chrome Plated
• Epoxy sealed terminals feature

Allowable Variations:

• Mounting type (Panel Mount vs. Through Hole)
• Actuator length (within mechanical envelope constraints)
• Operating temperature range (substitute may exceed original range)
• Electrical life cycles (substitute may exceed original specification)
• Ingress protection rating (substitute may include additional protection)
• Bushing thread configuration (dependent on mounting type)

The E-Switch 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE qualifies as a substitute based on matching all mandatory parameters while offering enhanced environmental protection (IP67) and extended temperature range (-30°C to 85°C), with the primary difference being Through Hole mounting versus Panel Mount configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SF36P000000 and 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring continued manufacturer support and regulatory alignment. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific mounting architecture and environmental exposure requirements.

The SF36P000000 is appropriate for panel-mounted applications requiring standard through-panel installation with 1/4-40 bushing thread engagement. The 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE serves applications utilizing through-hole PCB mounting or chassis configurations where IP67 environmental sealing and extended low-temperature operation (-30°C minimum) provide operational advantages. The 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE exhibits reduced electrical life (30,000 cycles versus 100,000 cycles), which must be evaluated against application duty cycle requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE directly replace the SF36P000000 in a panel-mount application?

A: Direct mechanical replacement is not possible. The SF36P000000 requires panel cutout installation with 1/4-40 bushing thread, while the 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE is configured for through-hole PCB mounting. Electrical compatibility is confirmed; mechanical integration requires design modification.

Q: What is the significance of the 70,000-cycle difference in electrical life?

A: The SF36P000000 is rated for 100,000 electrical cycles while the 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE is rated for 30,000 cycles. Applications requiring frequent switching operations must account for this specification difference in component selection and maintenance planning.

Q: Are both parts suitable for low-temperature environments?

A: The SF36P000000 operates from -20°C minimum, while the 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE extends to -30°C minimum. For applications below -20°C, the 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE provides enhanced low-temperature capability. Both parts operate to 85°C maximum.

Q: What does IP67 ingress protection on the 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE provide?

A: IP67 rating indicates dust-tight and waterproof performance. The SF36P000000 does not specify ingress protection. Applications requiring submersion or high-moisture environments benefit from the 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE's IP67 classification.

Q: Are the PC pin terminations identical between both parts?

A: Both parts utilize PC pin termination style. Physical pin dimensions and spacing must be verified against specific PCB or connector requirements, as actuator length differs (SF36P000000: 10.70mm; 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE: 12.70mm).

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory compliance standards?

A: Both the SF36P000000 and 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. Regulatory compliance is equivalent between the two parts.
