Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE from E-Switch qualifies as a functional substitute based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Electrical Specifications:

• SPDT circuit configuration
• On-On switch function
• 0.4VA current rating (AC/DC)
• 20V voltage rating (AC/DC)
• Non-illuminated design
• Brass, chrome-plated actuator material
• ROHS3 compliance
• REACH unaffected status

Differing Parameters Affecting Application:

• Mounting type: Panel Mount (SF36S00000016) vs. Through Hole (100AWSP1T1B4M2RE)
• Termination: Solder Lug vs. PC Pin
• Ingress Protection: Not specified (SF36S00000016) vs. IP67 (100AWSP1T1B4M2RE)
• Electrical Life: 100,000 cycles vs. 30,000 cycles
• Operating Temperature: -20°C to 85°C vs. -30°C to 85°C

Substitution is valid when mounting configuration and termination style are compatible with the target application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SF36S00000016 and 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE meet ROHS3 compliance and REACH requirements, making either suitable for regulated applications. Selection between these parts depends on mechanical integration requirements:

Select SF36S00000016 when:

• Panel mount configuration with solder lug termination is required
• Higher electrical life cycle count (100,000 cycles) is specified
• Operating temperature minimum of -20°C is acceptable

Select 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE when:

• Through-hole PCB mounting with PC pin termination is required
• IP67 ingress protection is necessary for the application environment
• Extended low-temperature operation to -30°C is required
• 30,000 cycle electrical life is sufficient for the application

Both parts share identical electrical ratings and actuator specifications, ensuring functional equivalence in switching performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE directly replace the SF36S00000016 in an existing assembly?

A: Direct replacement is not possible without mechanical redesign. The SF36S00000016 uses panel mount with solder lug termination, while the 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE uses through-hole PCB mounting with PC pins. The mounting interface and termination method are fundamentally different.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature SPDT On-On configuration, 0.4VA current rating, and 20V AC/DC voltage rating. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the IP67 rating on the 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE?

A: IP67 provides dust-tight and waterproof protection. The SF36S00000016 does not specify ingress protection. If the application requires environmental sealing, the 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE is the appropriate choice.

Q: Why does the 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE have lower electrical life (30,000 cycles vs. 100,000 cycles)?

A: Electrical life is a design characteristic of each manufacturer's product line. The 30,000-cycle rating for the 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE is still suitable for most industrial applications. Verify cycle requirements against your specific application duty cycle.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the SF36S00000016 and 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current EU and international environmental standards.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature range?

A: The SF36S00000016 operates from -20°C to 85°C, while the 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE operates from -30°C to 85°C. The 100AWSP1T1B4M2RE provides 10°C additional low-temperature capability. Select based on your application's minimum operating temperature requirement.
