SLG12014 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SLG12014 is a slide switch manufactured by APEM Inc., configured as a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch rated for 300mA at 125V AC and 30V DC. This component features through-hole mounting with PC pin termination and is designed for On-On switching applications. The SLG12014 is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SLG12014 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration must be SPDT
• Current rating must be 300mA (AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings must be 125V AC and 30V DC minimum
• Mounting type must be through hole
• Termination style must be PC pin
• Operating temperature range must encompass -20°C to 85°C
• Electrical life must be 10,000 cycles minimum
• RoHS3 compliance required

The SLB12814 meets all substitution criteria as a functionally equivalent alternative from the same manufacturer.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SLG12014 and SLB12814 are classified as obsolete products. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and compliance requirements. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for current applications.

The SLB12814 offers higher inventory availability (6,747 pieces versus 875 pieces) and includes epoxy sealed terminals as an additional feature. Operating force and switch travel parameters differ slightly between the two parts (200gf/3.00mm for SLG12014 versus 220gf/3.20mm for SLB12814), which may influence mechanical feel and actuation characteristics in specific applications but do not affect electrical performance within the specified ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SLB12814 directly replace the SLG12014 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (300mA, 125V AC, 30V DC), circuit configuration (SPDT), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pin). The minor differences in operating force (220gf versus 200gf) and switch travel (3.20mm versus 3.00mm) do not affect electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the epoxy sealed terminals feature on the SLB12814?

A: Epoxy sealed terminals provide enhanced environmental protection for the PC pin connections. This feature improves resistance to moisture and contamination during storage and handling but does not alter the electrical or mechanical interface requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The SLG12014 is supplied in standard packaging, while the SLB12814 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both configurations contain identical components; packaging selection depends on procurement volume and handling requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the SLG12014 and SLB12814 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: Why is the SLG12014 marked as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued active production and support for this part number. The SLB12814 serves as the current equivalent alternative from APEM Inc. for this switch category.
