SY246A13 Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SY246A13 is an active-status toggle switch manufactured by APEM Inc., featuring DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) circuitry with On-On switching function. This through-hole mounted component is rated for 5A AC at 125V and 4A DC at 30V, with a sealed design and standard round brass nickel-plated actuator. The part is ROHS3 compliant and maintains an electrical life of 40,000 cycles. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, circuit configuration, mounting type, and termination style align within acceptable operational parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SY246A13 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration must be DPDT
• Switch function must be On-On
• Current rating must support minimum 5A AC operation
• Voltage rating (AC) must meet or exceed 120V
• Mounting type must be Through Hole
• Termination style must be PC Pin
• Product status must be Active
• RoHS3 compliance required

The substitute part 100AWDP1T2B4M2QE meets these criteria with equivalent electrical performance within the specified operational envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SY246A13 and 100AWDP1T2B4M2QE are active-status components with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The 100AWDP1T2B4M2QE provides equivalent or superior electrical performance in DC current rating (5A versus 4A) and extended low-temperature operating range (-30°C versus -20°C). AC voltage rating differential (120V versus 125V) and DC voltage rating differential (28V versus 30V) remain within acceptable substitution margins for DPDT toggle switch applications. Both components maintain identical circuit configuration, switch function, mounting type, and termination style, ensuring direct functional compatibility in through-hole PCB applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 100AWDP1T2B4M2QE directly replace the SY246A13 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical DPDT circuit configuration, On-On switch function, 5A AC current rating, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. Voltage ratings are within acceptable operational margins for standard toggle switch applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The 100AWDP1T2B4M2QE offers higher DC current rating (5A versus 4A), extended low-temperature operation (-30°C versus -20°C), and IP67 ingress protection with epoxy sealed terminals. The SY246A13 provides higher AC voltage rating (125V versus 120V) and higher DC voltage rating (30V versus 28V). Actuator length differs (7.62mm versus 13.30mm).

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations?

A: Both components are supplied in bulk packaging. Inventory availability differs: SY246A13 has 733 pieces in stock, while 100AWDP1T2B4M2QE has 2996 pieces available.

Q: Do both parts meet regulatory compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the SY246A13 and 100AWDP1T2B4M2QE are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What is the electrical life difference between these components?

A: The SY246A13 is rated for 40,000 electrical cycles, while the 100AWDP1T2B4M2QE is rated for 30,000 cycles. Application duty cycle requirements should be evaluated accordingly.
