SWW236CD7 Toggle Switch SPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SWW236CD7 is an APEM Inc. toggle switch featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) configuration with 0.4VA current rating at 20V AC/DC. This through-hole, right-angle vertical mounted switch is designed for applications requiring sealed, non-illuminated switching functionality. The part is currently active in production with 906 units in stock. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when component availability is limited, supply chain disruptions occur, or design flexibility permits selection from qualified alternatives meeting identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SWW236CD7 are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT
• Switch function: On-On
• Current rating: 0.4VA (AC/DC)
• Voltage rating: 20V AC and 20V DC
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle, Vertical
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Actuator type: Standard Round
• Non-illuminated configuration

Allowable Variations:

• Actuator length: 7.50mm to 7.62mm (within mechanical tolerance)
• Operating temperature range: -20°C to -30°C minimum; 85°C maximum
• Electrical life cycles: 30,000 to 100,000 cycles
• Ingress protection rating: IP57 to IP67 (enhanced sealing acceptable)
• Actuator material plating: Nickel or Chrome (both acceptable)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant required

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: 100AWSP1T2B4M7RE (E-Switch) and E101MD1AV2BE (C&K).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—SWW236CD7, 100AWSP1T2B4M7RE, and E101MD1AV2BE—are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and equivalent electrical ratings. Selection between these parts is based on the following factors:

SWW236CD7 (APEM Inc.): Primary choice when APEM supply is available. Offers 100,000 electrical life cycles, the highest rating among the three options. Suitable for applications requiring maximum switch durability.

100AWSP1T2B4M7RE (E-Switch): Qualified substitute with IP67 ingress protection rating, providing enhanced environmental sealing. Acceptable for applications where extended temperature range (-30°C minimum) is required. Electrical life of 30,000 cycles is suitable for standard industrial applications.

E101MD1AV2BE (C&K): Qualified substitute with IP57 ingress protection and 40,000 electrical life cycles. Highest inventory availability (1110 units). Tray packaging may require repackaging for bulk procurement workflows. REACH Status is affected; verify compliance requirements for end-use applications.

All three parts share identical electrical specifications (0.4VA, 20V AC/DC, SPDT On-On configuration) and mechanical mounting characteristics (through-hole, right-angle, vertical, PC pin termination). Substitution is electrically and mechanically valid across all three options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 100AWSP1T2B4M7RE replace SWW236CD7 in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts meet identical electrical specifications (0.4VA, 20V AC/DC, SPDT On-On) and mechanical mounting requirements (through-hole, right-angle, vertical, PC pin). The 0.12mm difference in actuator length (7.62mm vs. 7.50mm) is within standard mechanical tolerance for toggle switch applications. Enhanced IP67 sealing on the E-Switch part provides additional environmental protection.

Q: What is the difference in electrical life between these parts? A: SWW236CD7 is rated for 100,000 cycles, E101MD1AV2BE for 40,000 cycles, and 100AWSP1T2B4M7RE for 30,000 cycles. For applications with high switching frequency or extended operational life requirements, SWW236CD7 is the preferred choice. For standard industrial switching applications, all three ratings are acceptable.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when substituting E101MD1AV2BE? A: E101MD1AV2BE is supplied in tray packaging, while SWW236CD7 and 100AWSP1T2B4M7RE are supplied in bulk packaging. Tray packaging may require repackaging or handling adjustments depending on procurement and assembly workflows.

Q: Do all three parts meet RoHS compliance? A: SWW236CD7 and 100AWSP1T2B4M7RE are ROHS3 Compliant. E101MD1AV2BE is ROHS3 Compliant but has REACH Status Affected. Verify REACH compliance requirements for your specific end-use application and geographic market.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each part? A: SWW236CD7 operates from -20°C to 85°C. Both 100AWSP1T2B4M7RE and E101MD1AV2BE operate from -30°C to 85°C, providing extended low-temperature capability. All three parts share the same 85°C maximum operating temperature.

Q: Are the ingress protection ratings important for my application? A: SWW236CD7 specifies sealed construction without a defined IP rating. 100AWSP1T2B4M7RE provides IP67 (dust tight, waterproof) protection. E101MD1AV2BE provides IP57 (dust protected, waterproof) protection. Enhanced IP ratings on substitute parts offer additional environmental sealing; however, electrical performance remains identical across all three options.
