TP12MS9ABE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TP12MS9ABE is an SPDT pushbutton switch manufactured by C&K, designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This switch is rated for 0.4VA at 20V (AC/DC) with a sealed design and round plunger actuator. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Equivalent parts are identified when they maintain identical electrical ratings, circuit configuration, mounting type, and termination style while meeting the same regulatory requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance and carry identical MSL ratings, making them suitable for equivalent applications. The TP12MS9ABE and 1-1825096-0 share all critical electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution in standard through-hole SPDT switch applications.

The 1-1825096-0 offers extended electrical life (100,000 cycles versus 30,000 cycles), providing additional margin for high-cycle applications. However, the operating temperature range of 1-1825096-0 is limited to -30°C to 65°C compared to the TP12MS9ABE range of -30°C to 85°C. Selection should be based on the specific operating temperature requirements of the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-1825096-0 be used as a direct replacement for TP12MS9ABE?

A: Yes, for applications operating within the temperature range of -30°C to 65°C. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (0.4VA, 20V AC/DC), circuit configuration (SPDT), mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle), and termination style (PC Pin). If your application requires operation above 65°C, the TP12MS9ABE is required.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching circuit configuration (SPDT), current rating (0.4VA AC/DC), voltage ratings (20V AC and DC), mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle), termination style (PC Pin), and actuator type (Round, Plunger). Both parts meet these criteria.

Q: Does the difference in electrical life affect substitution?

A: The 1-1825096-0 provides 100,000 electrical cycles compared to 30,000 cycles for the TP12MS9ABE. This represents a performance advantage and does not prevent substitution. Applications requiring fewer cycles can use either part.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Current inventory shows 1128 pieces for TP12MS9ABE and 1913 pieces for 1-1825096-0. Packaging format is identical for both parts.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both TP12MS9ABE and 1-1825096-0 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The TP12MS9ABE is REACH Affected, while 1-1825096-0 is REACH Unaffected. Both carry EAR99 ECCN classification.
