TPB11CGRA0 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TPB11CGRA0 is a pushbutton switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, configured as a Standard SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) device with Off-Momentary switch function. This component operates at 0.4VA across 20V AC/DC ratings and features a round plunger actuator with black cap, mounted through-hole in a right-angle orientation with PC pin termination.

The TPB11CGRA0 is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent or substitute components is necessary to support ongoing maintenance, repair, and new design requirements where this part is specified or currently deployed.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TPB11CGRA0 are qualified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following parameters must match or exceed the original specification to establish substitution validity:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPST-NO)
• Switch function (Off-Mom)
• Current rating (0.4VA AC/DC minimum)
• Voltage ratings (20V AC and 20V DC minimum)
• Actuator type (Round Plunger)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 65°C minimum)
• Electrical life (100,000 cycles minimum)

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Mounting orientation (Through Hole vs. Through Hole Right Angle)
• Actuator cap color
• Product status (Active substitutes acceptable for obsolete originals)
• Packaging format (Bulk vs. standard)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS, REACH status)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria and are listed below.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1825097-6 (Direct Substitute - Recommended for New Designs)

The 1825097-6 is an active product that provides complete electrical and mechanical equivalence to the TPB11CGRA0. This part maintains identical circuit configuration, voltage and current ratings, actuator specifications, and operating temperature range. The 1825097-6 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status, making it suitable for applications requiring modern regulatory compliance. The mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle) matches the original specification exactly. Current inventory of 3,649 units supports production requirements.

TPB11CGPC2 (Functional Substitute - Mounting Consideration)

The TPB11CGPC2 is an active product that matches all critical electrical parameters and actuator specifications of the TPB11CGRA0. This part differs in mounting orientation, specified as Through Hole (standard) rather than Through Hole Right Angle. The actuator cap color is red rather than black. These differences are mechanical and cosmetic in nature and do not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility. Selection of this part requires confirmation that the standard through-hole mounting orientation accommodates the application's physical layout requirements. Current inventory of 942 units is available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1825097-6 be used as a direct replacement for TPB11CGRA0 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 1825097-6 provides complete electrical and mechanical equivalence, including identical mounting orientation (Through Hole, Right Angle), actuator type (Round Plunger), and all electrical ratings (0.4VA, 20V AC/DC, 100,000 cycle life). The black actuator cap matches the original specification.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 1825097-6 and TPB11CGPC2?

A: The 1825097-6 maintains the right-angle mounting orientation of the original TPB11CGRA0, while the TPB11CGPC2 uses standard through-hole mounting. Additionally, the TPB11CGPC2 features a red actuator cap instead of black. Both parts are electrically identical and support the same voltage, current, and cycle life specifications.

Q: Does the red actuator cap on the TPB11CGPC2 affect electrical performance?

A: No. The actuator cap color is a cosmetic feature and does not impact electrical performance, circuit function, or operational characteristics. The color difference may be relevant only for visual identification or panel aesthetics.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: The 1825097-6 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status. The TPB11CGPC2 and original TPB11CGRA0 show "Not Applicable" and "Vendor Undefined" status respectively. For applications requiring modern regulatory compliance, the 1825097-6 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Can the TPB11CGPC2 be used if the application requires right-angle mounting?

A: No. The TPB11CGPC2 is specified for standard through-hole mounting, not right-angle orientation. Physical board layout and connector positioning must accommodate this difference. The 1825097-6 maintains the right-angle mounting configuration and is the correct choice for applications requiring this specific orientation.

Q: What is the inventory status for each substitute part?

A: The 1825097-6 has 3,649 units in stock. The TPB11CGPC2 has 942 units in stock. Both parts are available for immediate procurement.

Q: Are all three parts (original and substitutes) from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. The TPB11CGRA0, 1825097-6, and TPB11CGPC2 are all manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, ensuring consistent design standards and quality control across the product family.
