Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TPA11FGPC2 are identified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches product family. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT
• Switch function: On-Momentary
• Current rating: 0.4VA (AC/DC)
• Voltage rating: 20V AC and 20V DC
• Electrical life: 100,000 cycles

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Actuator type: Round, Plunger
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Operating temperature range: -30°C to 65°C

Parts meeting all electrical and mechanical parameters are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in actuator color, product status, or packaging do not affect functional substitutability when all core parameters remain identical.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1825096-8 Selection Criteria:

The 1825096-8 is a direct functional equivalent to the TPA11FGPC2. This part maintains identical electrical specifications (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC, SPDT configuration, 100,000 cycle electrical life) and mechanical characteristics (through-hole mounting, round plunger actuator, PC pin termination). The 1825096-8 carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support and supply chain availability. The actuator color remains red, matching the original design. This part is suitable for direct substitution in applications where the TPA11FGPC2 is currently specified.

TPA11FGPC6 Selection Criteria:

The TPA11FGPC6 is a direct functional equivalent to the TPA11FGPC2 with identical electrical and mechanical parameters. This part carries Active product status and is supplied in Bulk packaging. The primary distinction is the blue actuator color, compared to the red actuator of the TPA11FGPC2. This part is suitable for direct substitution in applications where actuator color differentiation is not a critical design requirement. The TPA11FGPC6 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute, as indicated in the original part documentation.

Compliance and Certification:

Both substitute parts maintain equivalent ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9031) classifications. RoHS status is Not Applicable for all parts in this comparison. Both substitute parts are sourced from the same manufacturer and product family, ensuring design consistency and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1825096-8 be used as a direct replacement for the TPA11FGPC2?

A: Yes. The 1825096-8 meets all electrical and mechanical parameter requirements for direct substitution. Both parts are SPDT switches rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC with identical actuator type, termination style, and operating temperature range. The 1825096-8 carries Active product status, providing supply chain continuity.

Q: What is the difference between the TPA11FGPC6 and the TPA11FGPC2?

A: The TPA11FGPC6 and TPA11FGPC2 are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary difference is the actuator color: TPA11FGPC6 features a blue actuator, while TPA11FGPC2 features a red actuator. Both parts are SPDT switches with 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC rating and 100,000 cycle electrical life. The TPA11FGPC6 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: The TPA11FGPC6 is supplied in Bulk packaging. The 1825096-8 packaging specification is not detailed in the provided parameters. Packaging differences do not affect functional compatibility; however, procurement and inventory management processes may require adjustment based on packaging format.

Q: Does the actuator color affect electrical performance?

A: No. Actuator color is a visual identification feature and does not affect electrical performance, switching characteristics, or circuit operation. Both red and blue actuators perform identically in SPDT switching applications.

Q: What is the electrical life rating for these switches?

A: All parts in this comparison—TPA11FGPC2, 1825096-8, and TPA11FGPC6—are rated for 100,000 electrical cycles. This specification defines the expected operational lifespan under normal switching conditions.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: RoHS status is Not Applicable for all parts in this comparison. These components do not fall under RoHS compliance requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these switches?

A: All parts operate within the temperature range of -30°C to 65°C. This range applies to both electrical and mechanical performance specifications.
