Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SW GR560/10-15 AT is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPST-NO
• Current switching rating: 1A (AC/DC)
• Voltage switching AC: 125V
• Voltage switching DC: 100V
• Power rated: 10VA
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: Axial
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 125°C
• Physical dimensions: 2.126" overall length, 0.091" diameter body

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Operate range: The substitute part may have a wider operate range specification provided the minimum threshold remains compatible with the application
• Release range: Variation is permitted within the specified limits
• Product status: Active status substitutes are acceptable for obsolete components

The SW GP560/10-15 AT qualifies as a direct substitute based on these criteria. Both components share identical electrical ratings, physical form factors, and thermal specifications. The GP560 series operates across a wider range (10 ~ 50 AT) compared to the GR560 (10 ~ 15 AT), which represents an expanded operational envelope suitable for the original application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SW GP560/10-15 AT is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete SW GR560/10-15 AT. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status Consideration: The GR560/10-15 AT is classified as obsolete, making continued procurement from original inventory unsustainable for long-term applications. The GP560/10-15 AT maintains active product status with Standex-Meder Electronics, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters—switching current, voltage ratings, power handling, and timing characteristics—are identical between the two components. Physical dimensions, mounting configuration, and termination style are unchanged, permitting direct PCB-level substitution without design modification.

Compliance Enhancement: The GP560/10-15 AT carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the GR560/10-15 AT does not specify this status. Both components maintain identical REACH Unaffected and EAR99 export classification designations.

Operational Range: The GP560/10-15 AT operates across a wider magnetic field range (10 ~ 50 AT versus 10 ~ 15 AT), providing expanded operational flexibility while maintaining full compatibility with applications designed for the narrower GR560 specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SW GP560/10-15 AT be used as a direct replacement for SW GR560/10-15 AT in existing designs?

A: Yes. The GP560/10-15 AT is a direct substitute. All electrical ratings, physical dimensions, mounting type, and termination style are identical. No circuit design changes or PCB modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the wider operate range (10 ~ 50 AT) in the GP560 series?

A: The operate range defines the magnetic field strength at which the reed switch activates. The GP560's wider range (10 ~ 50 AT) means it will function across a broader spectrum of magnetic field conditions compared to the GR560 (10 ~ 15 AT). Both will activate within the original GR560 specification window, making the GP560 suitable for the original application.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these two parts?

A: The GR560/10-15 AT is listed with packaging designation "-" (not specified), while the GP560/10-15 AT is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both components use identical Through Hole mounting with Axial termination. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement specification.

Q: Does the GP560/10-15 AT meet environmental compliance requirements?

A: The GP560/10-15 AT is ROHS3 compliant and maintains REACH Unaffected status. Both components share identical EAR99 export classification and HTSUS code (8536.50.9065). Confirm compliance requirements against your specific application standards.

Q: What inventory considerations should be evaluated?

A: The GR560/10-15 AT has 756 pieces in stock (obsolete status), while the GP560/10-15 AT has 3,318 pieces available (active status). For new designs or long-term production, the GP560/10-15 AT provides superior supply chain security.

Q: Are the switching time characteristics identical?

A: Yes. Both components have identical operate time (0.6 ms) and release time (0.1 ms), ensuring equivalent switching performance in timing-critical applications.
