SLC12007 Slide Switch SPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SLC12007 is a slide switch with SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) configuration manufactured by APEM Inc. It is rated for 300mA at 125V AC and 30V DC, designed for panel mount applications with solder lug termination. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The GF-124-0088 manufactured by CW Industries qualifies as a substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Circuit configuration matches exactly (SPDT, On-On function). Both parts feature panel mount installation with solder lug termination, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in existing designs. AC voltage rating is identical at 125V. Current rating of the substitute (500mA) exceeds the original specification (300mA), providing operational margin. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), meeting regulatory requirements. Operating temperature ranges overlap sufficiently (-10°C to 104°C for substitute versus -20°C to 85°C for original), covering standard industrial applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GF-124-0088 is suitable for direct substitution in applications currently using the SLC12007. The substitute maintains active product status with CW Industries, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance requirements. The GF-124-0088 provides higher current capacity (500mA versus 300mA) and improved DC voltage rating (125V versus 30V), making it compatible with a broader range of circuit designs. The electrical life specification of the substitute (6,000 cycles) is lower than the original (10,000 cycles); applications requiring extended cycle life should evaluate this parameter against actual duty cycle requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the GF-124-0088 replace the SLC12007 in existing designs? A: Yes. Both switches share identical SPDT circuit configuration, On-On function, 125V AC rating, panel mount installation, and solder lug termination. The substitute's higher current and voltage ratings ensure compatibility with the original specification envelope.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts? A: The GF-124-0088 provides 500mA current capacity versus 300mA, 125V DC rating versus 30V DC, and operates across a wider temperature range (-10°C to 104°C). The electrical life is 6,000 cycles compared to 10,000 cycles for the original.

Q: Does the lower electrical life of the substitute affect compatibility? A: Electrical life depends on application duty cycle. For applications operating below 6,000 cycles within the product lifetime, the substitute is fully compatible. Applications approaching or exceeding 6,000 cycles should verify cycle requirements against actual usage patterns.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both the SLC12007 and GF-124-0088 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the packaging difference? A: The SLC12007 is supplied in standard packaging, while the GF-124-0088 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both use identical solder lug termination suitable for standard PCB assembly processes.
