Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TPB11CGRAES2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Circuit configuration must be SPST-NO
• Switch function must be Off-Mom (momentary contact)
• Current rating must be 0.4VA (AC/DC)
• Voltage rating must be 20V AC and 20V DC

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type must be Through Hole, Right Angle
• Actuator type must be Round, Plunger
• Termination style must be PC Pin
• Operating temperature range must be -30°C ~ 65°C
• Electrical life must be 100,000 Cycles

All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements, ensuring functional compatibility within the original application circuit and physical installation constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1825097-7 (Direct Manufacturer Substitute)

The 1825097-7 is classified as a direct manufacturer substitute with Active product status. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the TPB11CGRAES2, including the red actuator cap. The 1825097-7 carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating superior moisture handling characteristics compared to the obsolete main part. This substitute is suitable for new production and replacement applications where component availability and long-term supply chain stability are required.

TPB11CGRAES0 (Manufacturer-Recommended Substitute)

The TPB11CGRAES0 is designated as the manufacturer-recommended substitute with Active product status. This part shares all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with the TPB11CGRAES2. The primary distinction is the black actuator cap, which differs from the red cap of the main part. The TPB11CGRAES0 is supplied in Bulk packaging and carries an RoHS non-compliant designation. This substitute is appropriate for applications where actuator color differentiation is not functionally critical and where RoHS compliance is not a system requirement.

Both substitute parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches and maintain the same series designation (TP), ensuring design continuity and interchangeability within the specified electrical and mechanical operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1825097-7 be used as a direct replacement for the TPB11CGRAES2 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 1825097-7 maintains identical electrical ratings (0.4VA, 20V AC/DC), circuit configuration (SPST-NO), mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle), and operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 65°C). The red actuator cap matches the original part, ensuring visual consistency in the assembly.

Q: What is the difference between the 1825097-7 and TPB11CGRAES0 substitutes?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. The primary differences are: (1) actuator cap color (1825097-7 is red; TPB11CGRAES0 is black), (2) packaging format (1825097-7 is standard; TPB11CGRAES0 is Bulk), and (3) RoHS compliance status (1825097-7 is not applicable; TPB11CGRAES0 is non-compliant).

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the TPB11CGRAES0 for the TPB11CGRAES2?

A: No compatibility concerns exist from an electrical or mechanical standpoint. All functional parameters are identical. The black actuator cap of the TPB11CGRAES0 may differ from the original red cap visually, but this does not affect electrical performance or circuit operation.

Q: What is the significance of the Active product status for the substitute parts?

A: Active product status indicates that the substitute parts are currently manufactured and supported by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches. This ensures ongoing availability, consistent quality, and long-term supply chain reliability compared to the Obsolete status of the TPB11CGRAES2.

Q: Does the MSL rating difference between substitutes affect component selection?

A: The 1825097-7 carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), while the TPB11CGRAES0 carries Not Applicable. MSL ratings are relevant for moisture-sensitive components in high-humidity storage or assembly environments. For this pushbutton switch category, the MSL difference does not impact functional performance in standard operating conditions.

Q: Are both substitute parts suitable for new production designs?

A: Yes. Both the 1825097-7 and TPB11CGRAES0 carry Active product status and are suitable for new production. Selection between them should be based on actuator color requirements, packaging preferences, and RoHS compliance mandates specific to the application or end-use industry.
