Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TG36W000000 is evaluated based on the following critical parameters that define functional equivalence:

Circuit Configuration & Function: Both the main part and substitute must maintain SPDT configuration with On-On switching function to preserve circuit logic and control behavior.

Electrical Ratings: Current and voltage ratings determine safe operation within the target application. The substitute MFS101D-6-Z operates at 300mA DC and 10V DC, which represents a reduced electrical envelope compared to the TG36W000000 (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC).

Mounting & Termination: Through-hole, right-angle mounting with PC pin termination ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing PCB layouts.

Operating Temperature Range: The TG36W000000 operates from -30°C to 85°C, while the MFS101D-6-Z operates from -10°C to 70°C. This represents a narrower temperature envelope for the substitute.

Compliance & Availability: Both parts are RoHS3 compliant and actively produced, ensuring regulatory alignment and supply chain viability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MFS101D-6-Z may serve as a substitute for the TG36W000000 in applications where the reduced electrical and thermal specifications are acceptable. Both parts are RoHS3 compliant and actively produced, ensuring regulatory compliance and supply continuity.

Selection of the MFS101D-6-Z requires verification that the application operates within its electrical envelope: 300mA DC at 10V maximum. Applications requiring the full 0.4VA at 20V rating of the TG36W000000 cannot use this substitute without circuit redesign.

The narrower operating temperature range of the MFS101D-6-Z (-10°C to 70°C versus -30°C to 85°C) must be evaluated against environmental requirements. Applications operating below -10°C or above 70°C require the TG36W000000.

The MFS101D-6-Z exhibits significantly lower electrical life (5,000 cycles versus 60,000 cycles), which impacts suitability for high-cycle-count applications. Long-life applications should retain the TG36W000000.

Both parts maintain identical circuit configuration (SPDT On-On), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and termination style (PC pin), ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility at the PCB interface level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MFS101D-6-Z replace the TG36W000000 in all applications?

A: No. The MFS101D-6-Z has reduced electrical ratings (300mA DC at 10V) compared to the TG36W000000 (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC). Substitution is valid only when the application operates within the lower electrical envelope.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are current rating (0.4VA versus 300mA), voltage rating (20V versus 10V), operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C versus -10°C to 70°C), and electrical life (60,000 cycles versus 5,000 cycles). Circuit configuration and mounting type are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the TG36W000000 and MFS101D-6-Z are RoHS3 compliant and actively produced.

Q: Will the MFS101D-6-Z fit the same PCB footprint?

A: Both parts use through-hole, right-angle mounting with PC pin termination. Minor dimensional differences exist (actuator length 3.00mm versus 3.30mm), but these do not affect PCB compatibility. Physical verification is recommended for space-constrained layouts.

Q: Which part should I use for high-temperature applications?

A: The TG36W000000 supports -30°C to 85°C operation. The MFS101D-6-Z is limited to -10°C to 70°C. For applications exceeding 70°C, the TG36W000000 is required.

Q: How do the electrical life ratings compare?

A: The TG36W000000 is rated for 60,000 switching cycles, while the MFS101D-6-Z is rated for 5,000 cycles. Applications requiring frequent switching should use the TG36W000000.
