TPBF11CGRA0 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TPBF11CGRA0 is a pushbutton switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, classified as a Standard SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) momentary contact switch. This component features a round plunger actuator with flush design, rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC, and is designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications.

The TPBF11CGRA0 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to support ongoing maintenance, repair, and production requirements for legacy systems and equipment utilizing this switch configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TPBF11CGRA0 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Circuit configuration (SPST-NO), switch function (Off-Mom), current rating (0.4VA AC/DC), and voltage ratings (20V AC and 20V DC) must remain identical.

Mechanical Parameters: Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle), actuator type (Round, Plunger, Flush), and termination style (PC Pin) must match exactly to ensure physical and functional compatibility.

Environmental Parameters: Operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 65°C) and electrical life rating (100,000 Cycles) must be maintained.

Series Designation: Parts within the TP series family sharing the base product number TPBF11 are candidates for substitution when all electrical and mechanical parameters align.

The substitute part 2-1825097-1 meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 2-1825097-1 provides complete electrical and mechanical equivalence to the TPBF11CGRA0 across all functional parameters. Both components are classified as obsolete products within the TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches portfolio.

A significant distinction exists in regulatory compliance status: the TPBF11CGRA0 is RoHS non-compliant, while 2-1825097-1 is ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or environmental regulations requiring ROHS3 compliance, 2-1825097-1 is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems with no RoHS compliance requirements, either part is functionally suitable.

The Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) differs between the two parts. The TPBF11CGRA0 is listed as Not Applicable, while 2-1825097-1 carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). This distinction is relevant only for storage and handling protocols in moisture-controlled environments.

Both parts share identical electrical ratings, mechanical configurations, and operational specifications, ensuring direct substitution capability in circuit designs and PCB layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2-1825097-1 be used as a direct replacement for TPBF11CGRA0 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part 2-1825097-1 matches all electrical parameters (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC, SPST-NO circuit), mechanical specifications (Through Hole Right Angle mounting, Round Plunger Flush actuator), and operational ratings (100,000 cycle electrical life, -30°C to 65°C operating range). Physical and functional compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the difference in RoHS compliance between these parts?

A: TPBF11CGRA0 is RoHS non-compliant. 2-1825097-1 is ROHS3 compliant. Selection depends on regulatory requirements applicable to the end application. ROHS3 compliance is required for products marketed in the European Union and other jurisdictions with equivalent environmental directives.

Q: Are there packaging differences between TPBF11CGRA0 and 2-1825097-1?

A: TPBF11CGRA0 is supplied with packaging designation "-" (not specified in available data). 2-1825097-1 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect component functionality or electrical performance.

Q: What does the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating indicate?

A: MSL ratings define storage and handling requirements for moisture-sensitive components. TPBF11CGRA0 carries MSL Not Applicable, indicating no special moisture control is required. 2-1825097-1 carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating the component has unlimited shelf life without moisture control measures. This distinction affects only storage protocols, not operational performance.

Q: Are both parts still available for procurement?

A: Both TPBF11CGRA0 and 2-1825097-1 are classified as obsolete products. Availability is limited to existing inventory. TPBF11CGRA0 has 618 pieces in stock. 2-1825097-1 has 2763 pieces in stock. Procurement should be coordinated with component suppliers to confirm current availability.

Q: What electrical specifications must remain constant when substituting this switch?

A: The following parameters must remain identical: SPST-NO circuit configuration, Off-Mom switch function, 0.4VA current rating for both AC and DC, 20V AC voltage rating, and 20V DC voltage rating. Any deviation from these specifications indicates the substitute part is not equivalent.

Q: Can this switch be used in applications exceeding 20V?

A: No. Both TPBF11CGRA0 and 2-1825097-1 are rated for maximum 20V AC and 20V DC. Operation above these voltage ratings is outside the component specifications and will result in component failure or safety hazards.
