Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for SW236A13 are selected strictly based on matching or exceeding the essential electrical and mechanical parameters within the product category. Criteria considered for equivalence include:

• Switch Configuration (SPDT)
• Switch Function (On-On)
• Mounting Type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination Style (PC Pin)
• Actuator Type and Dimensions
• Electrical Ratings: Current, AC/DC Voltage
• Bushing Thread Type
• Non-Illumination
• Environmental and Lifecycle Ratings (Sealed, Electrical Life)
• Regulatory Compliance (RoHS, MSL, REACH)

Only parts meeting these criteria are included as substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection should be based on part status (active), RoHS compliance, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Both SW236A13 and E101SD1AQE are RoHS3 compliant and have an MSL rating of 1. The SW236A13 is REACH Unaffected, while E101SD1AQE is REACH Affected; assess regulatory requirements for the target application accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the critical parameters for substituting SPDT toggle switches in this category?
A: Substitution must be based on circuit type (SPDT), switch function (On-On), mounting style (Through Hole, Right Angle), termination style (PC Pin), electrical ratings (current and voltage), actuator type and length, bushing thread, and relevant compliance certifications.

Q: Are there significant differences in packaging or compliance between SW236A13 and E101SD1AQE?
A: SW236A13 is supplied in bulk, and E101SD1AQE is supplied in tray packaging. Both are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 ratings. SW236A13 is REACH Unaffected; E101SD1AQE is REACH Affected.

Q: Can the actuator length differences affect mechanical compatibility?
A: SW236A13 has a 13.30mm actuator; E101SD1AQE has a 12.70mm actuator. Only the specified actuator lengths are compared; ensure this aligns with the application’s mechanical requirements using the provided data.

Q: Are illumination or special features relevant for substitution?
A: Both models are non-illuminated with unthreaded bushings. Sealing features differ as specified.

Q: How does part status influence the substitution decision?
A: Both parts are active. Substitute selection can proceed considering only active designs for uninterrupted availability.
