Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The E-Switch 100AWSP1T1B1M1QEH qualifies as a substitute based on the following alignment criteria:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Both parts feature SPDT circuit configuration with On-On switching function
• Current ratings are equivalent: 5A AC/DC for the substitute versus 5A AC and 4A DC for the main part
• AC voltage ratings are within acceptable range: 120V (substitute) versus 125V (main part)
• DC voltage ratings are comparable: 28V (substitute) versus 30V (main part)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Both use panel-mount configuration with standard round actuators
• Panel cutout dimensions are functionally equivalent: 6.35mm (substitute) versus 6.50mm (main part)
• Both feature 1/4-40 bushing thread specification
• Actuator material and plating are identical: Brass, Chrome Plated

Functional & Compliance Alignment:

• Both are Active status products
• Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected
• Both feature epoxy sealed terminals
• Operating temperature ranges overlap: -30°C to 85°C (substitute) versus -20°C to 85°C (main part)

Key Difference:

• Termination style differs: Solder Lug (substitute) versus PC Pin (main part)
• Ingress protection rating: IP67 (substitute) versus unspecified (main part)
• Electrical life: 30,000 cycles (substitute) versus 40,000 cycles (main part)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SF36P010000 and 100AWSP1T1B1M1QEH are Active status products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial applications.

Selection between these parts depends on specific application requirements:

Choose SF36P010000 when:

• PC Pin termination is required for direct PCB mounting
• Higher electrical life specification (40,000 cycles) is necessary
• AC voltage tolerance at 125V is critical
• Operating temperature floor of -20°C is sufficient

Choose 100AWSP1T1B1M1QEH when:

• Solder Lug termination is compatible with your assembly process
• IP67 ingress protection rating is required for harsh environments
• Extended lower temperature operation (-30°C) is needed
• DC current rating of 5A (versus 4A) provides additional margin

Both parts share identical circuit configuration, switch function, AC current rating, mounting type, actuator specification, and bushing thread, ensuring functional equivalence in standard switching applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 100AWSP1T1B1M1QEH directly replace the SF36P010000 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement depends on termination compatibility. The SF36P010000 uses PC Pin termination for PCB mounting, while the 100AWSP1T1B1M1QEH uses Solder Lug termination. If your circuit board or assembly fixture accommodates solder lug connections, the substitute is functionally equivalent. Verify panel cutout dimensions: the substitute requires 6.35mm versus 6.50mm for the main part.

Q: What are the voltage tolerance differences between these parts?

A: The SF36P010000 is rated for 125V AC and 30V DC. The 100AWSP1T1B1M1QEH is rated for 120V AC and 28V DC. Both operate within standard industrial voltage ranges. If your application operates at or near 125V AC or 30V DC, confirm the substitute's lower ratings provide adequate margin for your specific circuit.

Q: How do the electrical life ratings compare?

A: The SF36P010000 is rated for 40,000 electrical cycles, while the 100AWSP1T1B1M1QEH is rated for 30,000 cycles. For applications requiring frequent switching, the main part offers extended operational life. For standard industrial control applications with moderate switching frequency, both ratings are acceptable.

Q: Does the IP67 rating on the substitute affect compatibility?

A: The 100AWSP1T1B1M1QEH includes IP67 ingress protection (dust tight, waterproof), while the SF36P010000 has no specified ingress protection rating. The substitute's enhanced protection is beneficial in wet or contaminated environments but does not prevent its use in standard indoor applications.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same current and voltage applications?

A: Both parts are rated for 5A AC current. DC current differs: SF36P010000 at 4A versus 100AWSP1T1B1M1QEH at 5A. AC voltage ratings are 125V (main) and 120V (substitute). DC voltage ratings are 30V (main) and 28V (substitute). Confirm your application's actual voltage and current requirements fall within both parts' specifications before selection.

Q: What is the temperature operating range difference?

A: The SF36P010000 operates from -20°C to 85°C. The 100AWSP1T1B1M1QEH operates from -30°C to 85°C. If your application requires operation below -20°C, the substitute provides extended lower temperature capability.
