TG36P000000 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TG36P000000 is an SPDT slide switch manufactured by APEM Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. This switch operates at 20V with a 0.4VA current rating and features gold-plated brass contacts with epoxy-sealed terminals. The product is currently active and widely available in inventory. Equivalent and substitute parts may be required due to component availability, lead time considerations, or specific application requirements within the defined electrical and mechanical parameter ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TG36P000000 is limited by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Must be SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw)
• Switch Function: Must be On-On
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole with PC Pin termination
• Voltage Rating: Substitute must support minimum 20V DC operation
• Current Rating: Substitute must support minimum 0.4VA operation
• Contact Termination: Must be PC Pin for PCB compatibility
• Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance

The substitute part 1825280-1 (TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches) shares the core SPDT circuit configuration and through-hole mounting architecture. However, this substitute operates at reduced voltage (12V DC) and current (100mA DC) ratings compared to the main part specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TG36P000000 and 1825280-1 share identical circuit topology (SPDT) and mounting architecture (through-hole PC pin). Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and active product status.

Selection between these parts must be determined by application voltage and current requirements:

• TG36P000000: Required for applications operating at 20V or requiring 0.4VA current capacity
• 1825280-1: Suitable only for applications operating at 12V DC or lower with current requirements not exceeding 100mA

The TG36P000000 provides superior electrical life (60,000 cycles versus 10,000 cycles) and extended operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C versus -20°C to 70°C). The 1825280-1 is not a direct functional equivalent due to reduced voltage and current ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1825280-1 replace TG36P000000 in all applications?

A: No. The 1825280-1 operates at 12V DC maximum, while the TG36P000000 is rated for 20V. Substitution is only valid for applications operating at 12V DC or lower with current requirements not exceeding 100mA.

Q: What are the critical compatibility factors?

A: Both parts share SPDT circuit configuration, On-On switch function, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. Voltage and current ratings are the primary limiting factors for substitution.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both TG36P000000 and 1825280-1 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the difference in electrical life between these parts?

A: The TG36P000000 provides 60,000 electrical cycles, while the 1825280-1 provides 10,000 electrical cycles. This represents a significant difference in component longevity under switching conditions.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: Yes. The TG36P000000 is supplied in Tray packaging, while the 1825280-1 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This may affect inventory management and handling procedures.
