TG36P010000 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TG36P010000 is an SPDT slide switch manufactured by APEM Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. This component operates at 48V with a 500mA current rating and is rated for 60,000 electrical cycles. The switch features epoxy sealed terminals, silver-plated brass contacts, and operates across a temperature range of -30°C to 85°C. As an active product with ROHS3 compliance, it serves as a reliable switching solution for industrial and commercial applications where higher voltage and current ratings are required.

Equivalent and substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory availability, lead time constraints, or specific application requirements that permit operation within alternative electrical and mechanical parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TG36P010000 is limited by its electrical specifications. The primary substitute identified is the TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 1825280-1. However, this substitute operates at significantly reduced electrical ratings: 100mA current capacity and 12V maximum voltage, compared to the original part's 500mA and 48V specifications.

Substitution is only permissible in applications where:

• Operating voltage does not exceed 12V DC
• Load current does not exceed 100mA DC
• Circuit configuration remains SPDT with On-On switching function
• Through-hole mounting and PC pin termination are maintained
• Operating temperature requirements fall within -20°C to 70°C

The substitute part shares the following compatible parameters: SPDT circuit, On-On function, through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, silver contact finish, epoxy sealed terminals, and ROHS3 compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between the TG36P010000 and substitute 1825280-1 must be based strictly on application electrical requirements and environmental constraints.

The TG36P010000 is the appropriate choice for applications requiring:

• Operating voltages up to 48V AC or DC
• Load currents up to 500mA
• Extended temperature operation from -30°C to 85°C
• Higher cycle life (60,000 electrical cycles)

The 1825280-1 substitute is suitable only for applications where all of the following conditions are met:

• Maximum operating voltage is 12V DC
• Maximum load current is 100mA DC
• Operating temperature remains within -20°C to 70°C
• Cycle life requirement does not exceed 10,000 cycles

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Both feature epoxy sealed terminals and silver contact finish suitable for industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1825280-1 be used as a direct replacement for the TG36P010000 in all applications?

A: No. The 1825280-1 has significantly reduced electrical ratings. It is suitable only for applications operating at 12V DC maximum with current not exceeding 100mA. Applications requiring 48V or 500mA operation must use the TG36P010000.

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

A: The TG36P010000 supports 48V and 500mA, while the 1825280-1 is rated for 12V and 100mA. The original part also provides 60,000 electrical cycles compared to 10,000 cycles for the substitute.

Q: Are the mounting and termination styles compatible?

A: Yes. Both parts feature through-hole mounting with PC pin termination, allowing for identical PCB footprints and assembly processes.

Q: What is the difference in contact material between these switches?

A: The TG36P010000 uses brass contacts while the 1825280-1 uses copper alloy contacts. Both are silver-plated and suitable for general switching applications.

Q: Does the operating temperature range affect substitution decisions?

A: Yes. The TG36P010000 operates from -30°C to 85°C, while the 1825280-1 operates from -20°C to 70°C. Applications requiring operation below -20°C or above 70°C must use the TG36P010000.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the TG36P010000 and 1825280-1 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations.

Q: What does the contact timing specification mean for the 1825280-1?

A: The 1825280-1 specifies shorting contact timing (make-before-break), meaning the new contact closes before the old contact opens during switching. This is a functional characteristic that may affect circuit behavior in specific applications.
