Equivalent & Substitute Parts for TPF13C0 Pushbutton Switch

Part Overview

The TPF13C0 is a pushbutton switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, configured as a SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) momentary contact switch. The device is rated for 1A at 125V AC and 20V DC, featuring a round plunger actuator with panel mount rear termination via solder lugs. The TPF13C0 is classified as obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production requirements for applications utilizing this switch configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TPF13C0 are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following parameters must match identically to establish substitution compatibility:

• Circuit configuration (SPST-NO)
• Switch function (Off-Mom momentary operation)
• Current rating (1A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (125V AC, 20V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Rear)
• Termination style (Solder Lug)
• Actuator type (Round, Plunger)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 6.35mm Dia)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 65°C)
• Electrical life (60,000 Cycles)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: 1-1825100-2 (direct manufacturer equivalent with active product status) and TPF13C2 (manufacturer-recommended substitute with active product status). Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the TPF13C0, with the primary distinction being actuator color and product status classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TPF13C0 is classified as obsolete product status. Both substitute parts—1-1825100-2 and TPF13C2—are classified as active products and are manufactured by the same supplier, TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches. Both substitutes maintain complete electrical and mechanical equivalence to the TPF13C0 across all specified parameters.

1-1825100-2 is the direct manufacturer equivalent, maintaining identical specifications including black actuator color. This part carries active product status and is available in standard inventory quantities.

TPF13C2 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute, also carrying active product status. This part differs only in actuator color (red versus black) while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance. The TPF13C2 is supplied in bulk packaging.

Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications currently utilizing the TPF13C0. Selection between the two substitutes should be based on actuator color requirements for the specific application and packaging preferences. Both parts comply with the same export control classification (EAR99) and tariff codes (HTSUS 8536.50.9031) as the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-1825100-2 be used as a direct replacement for the TPF13C0?

A: Yes. The 1-1825100-2 maintains identical electrical ratings (1A at 125V AC, 20V DC), circuit configuration (SPST-NO), mounting type (panel mount rear), termination style (solder lug), actuator type (round plunger), and panel cutout dimensions (6.35mm circular). The part is electrically and mechanically equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the 1-1825100-2 and TPF13C2 substitutes?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the TPF13C0. The primary difference is actuator color: the 1-1825100-2 features a black actuator (matching the TPF13C0), while the TPF13C2 features a red actuator. Secondary differences include packaging (1-1825100-2 in standard packaging, TPF13C2 in bulk) and base product number designation.

Q: Are the substitute parts compatible with the same panel cutout dimensions?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts utilize identical panel cutout dimensions of 6.35mm circular diameter, ensuring mechanical compatibility with existing panel installations designed for the TPF13C0.

Q: Do the substitute parts operate within the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts operate across the identical temperature range of -30°C to 65°C, matching the TPF13C0 specifications.

Q: What is the electrical life rating for the substitute parts?

A: Both substitute parts are rated for 60,000 electrical cycles, identical to the TPF13C0.

Q: Are there any compliance or export control differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: No. All three parts share identical ECCN classification (EAR99) and HTSUS tariff codes (8536.50.9031).

Q: Why is the TPF13C0 classified as obsolete?

A: The TPF13C0 is obsolete product status. The active substitute parts 1-1825100-2 and TPF13C2 are the current production equivalents from TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches.
