TL36P000000 Toggle Switch SPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TL36P000000 is an APEM Inc. toggle switch featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuitry with On-On switching function. This through-hole mounted component is rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC operation and is currently in active production status with 790 pieces available in inventory. The switch employs epoxy sealed terminals with a brass nickel-plated actuator and supports 60,000 electrical cycles over an operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C. Equivalent substitute parts are necessary when primary component availability is limited, when specific ingress protection ratings are required for environmental applications, or when alternative manufacturer sourcing is preferred for supply chain optimization.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TL36P000000 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: SPDT circuit configuration, On-On switch function, 0.4VA current rating at both 20V AC and 20V DC, through-hole mounting type, and PC pin termination style. All substitute parts listed maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Secondary parameters including actuator length, ingress protection rating, electrical life cycle rating, and actuator material composition are documented to support engineering selection based on specific application requirements. Compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH status, ECCN, HTSUS codes) are provided for regulatory and procurement purposes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for SPDT toggle switch applications at 0.4VA and 20V operation. Selection between the TL36P000000 and its substitutes should be based on the following criteria:

For applications requiring enhanced environmental protection, the 200AWMSP1T2A1M2RE (E-Switch) provides IP67 ingress protection rating, suitable for dust-tight and waterproof installations. The ET01MD1CBE (C&K) offers IP57 protection for dust-protected and waterproof environments with equivalent electrical life to the primary part.

For applications with no specific ingress protection requirements, the T101MH9CBE (C&K) provides actuator length and electrical life characteristics closely aligned with the TL36P000000, with actuator length of 5.33mm compared to 5.30mm.

Regulatory compliance considerations: The TL36P000000 and 200AWMSP1T2A1M2RE maintain REACH Unaffected status, while ET01MD1CBE and T101MH9CBE are REACH Affected. All parts are ROHS3 compliant. Supply chain availability should be evaluated against inventory levels: E-Switch and C&K alternatives offer higher stock quantities (1500, 3551, and 3669 pieces respectively) compared to the primary APEM part (790 pieces).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 200AWMSP1T2A1M2RE be used as a direct replacement for the TL36P000000?

A: Yes, for standard electrical applications. Both parts share identical SPDT circuit configuration, On-On function, 0.4VA current rating, and 20V AC/DC voltage ratings. The 200AWMSP1T2A1M2RE includes IP67 ingress protection, which provides additional environmental sealing not present in the TL36P000000. Actuator length differs by 0.80mm (6.10mm vs. 5.30mm), which may affect panel cutout compatibility depending on mechanical design constraints.

Q: What is the difference between the ET01MD1CBE and T101MH9CBE substitutes?

A: Both are C&K manufactured SPDT toggle switches with identical electrical specifications. The ET01MD1CBE provides IP57 ingress protection suitable for dust-protected and waterproof environments, while the T101MH9CBE has no specified ingress protection rating. The ET01MD1CBE has a 6.10mm actuator length versus 5.33mm for the T101MH9CBE. Both maintain 60,000 electrical cycle ratings. The ET01MD1CBE is REACH Affected, while the T101MH9CBE is also REACH Affected.

Q: Are there electrical life cycle differences between these parts?

A: The TL36P000000, ET01MD1CBE, and T101MH9CBE all support 60,000 electrical cycles. The 200AWMSP1T2A1M2RE supports 50,000 cycles, representing a 10,000 cycle reduction. For applications requiring maximum cycle life, the TL36P000000, ET01MD1CBE, or T101MH9CBE are preferred.

Q: Which substitute part has the best inventory availability?

A: The T101MH9CBE (C&K) offers the highest inventory level at 3,669 pieces, followed by ET01MD1CBE (C&K) at 3,551 pieces, 200AWMSP1T2A1M2RE (E-Switch) at 1,500 pieces, and TL36P000000 (APEM) at 790 pieces.

Q: Do all parts meet RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes, all four parts are ROHS3 compliant. However, REACH status differs: TL36P000000 and 200AWMSP1T2A1M2RE are REACH Unaffected, while ET01MD1CBE and T101MH9CBE are REACH Affected. Verify REACH compliance requirements for your specific application and regulatory jurisdiction.

Q: What actuator material differences exist between these parts?

A: The TL36P000000 features a brass actuator with nickel plating. The 200AWMSP1T2A1M2RE, ET01MD1CBE, and T101MH9CBE all use brass actuators with chrome plating. Material composition may affect corrosion resistance in specific chemical or environmental conditions.
