TS01CGE Slide Switch SPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TS01CGE is an active-status slide switch manufactured by C&K, featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration with On-On switch function. This through-hole mounted component is rated for 3A at 120V AC and 28V DC, with silver contact material and gold finish. The part is ROHS3 compliant and currently in active production with 739 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part's specifications, enabling direct replacement in applications where the TS01CGE may be unavailable or when design requirements permit alternative manufacturers.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution logic for the TS01CGE is based on the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

Circuit configuration: SPDT
Switch function: On-On
Mounting type: Through Hole
Termination style: PC Pin
Current rating: 3A (AC/DC)
Voltage rating: 120V AC minimum, 28V DC
Contact finish: Gold
Operating temperature range: -30°C ~ 85°C minimum
RoHS3 compliance

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Category 1 - Full Electrical & Mechanical Equivalents (48BFSP1M2QT, 500ASSP1M2QE): These parts match the TS01CGE across all critical parameters including 3A current rating, 120V+ AC voltage rating, 28V DC rating, identical actuator length (3.10mm), switch travel (3.05mm), operating temperature range, and RoHS3 compliance. These substitutes provide direct functional replacement.

Category 2 - Reduced Rating Substitutes (1825032-1, AS12AP, AS12CP, SS12SBP2, SS12SBP4, SS12SDP2, SS12SDP4): These parts share SPDT circuit configuration, On-On function, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination, but operate at reduced current ratings (0.4VA or 100mA) and lower voltage ratings. These are suitable only for applications where the TS01CGE's 3A/120V rating exceeds actual circuit requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (Preferred):

The 48BFSP1M2QT (Grayhill Inc.) and 500ASSP1M2QE (E-Switch) are the primary substitutes for the TS01CGE. Both maintain identical current rating (3A), matching actuator length (3.10mm), switch travel (3.05mm), and operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C). Both are ROHS3 compliant and active-status products. The 48BFSP1M2QT provides 125V AC rating (exceeding the TS01CGE's 120V requirement), while the 500ASSP1M2QE matches the 120V AC specification exactly. Electrical life ratings are lower (30,000 cycles versus 60,000), but both parts satisfy the core functional requirements.

Conditional Substitutes (Limited Application):

The 1825032-1 (TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH), AS12AP, AS12CP, SS12SBP4, and SS12SDP4 are suitable only when circuit requirements do not exceed 0.4VA current rating and 28V DC maximum voltage. These parts are ROHS3 compliant and active-status but operate at significantly reduced power levels. The AS12AP and AS12CP maintain the full operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C) and offer higher electrical life (50,000 cycles), making them preferable within their current/voltage limitations.

The SS12SBP2 and SS12SDP2 are limited to 100mA DC current and 30V DC maximum, with restricted operating temperature range (-15°C ~ 60°C). These are suitable only for low-power applications within the specified temperature window.

All substitute parts maintain SPDT circuit configuration, On-On function, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination, ensuring mechanical and electrical interface compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 48BFSP1M2QT or 500ASSP1M2QE be used as direct replacements for the TS01CGE?

A: Yes. Both parts match the TS01CGE's 3A current rating, 120V+ AC voltage rating, 28V DC rating, actuator length (3.10mm), switch travel (3.05mm), and operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C). Both are ROHS3 compliant and active-status. The primary difference is reduced electrical life (30,000 versus 60,000 cycles), which is acceptable for most applications.

Q: What is the difference between the AS12AP and AS12CP?

A: Both are NKK Switches AS series parts with identical electrical ratings (0.4VA, 28V AC/DC), operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C), and electrical life (50,000 cycles). The difference is actuator length: AS12AP has 2.50mm length, while AS12CP has 3.80mm length. Selection depends on available PCB space and actuator accessibility requirements.

Q: Can I use SS12SBP4 or SS12SDP4 in place of the TS01CGE?

A: Only if your circuit operates at 0.4VA or less and does not exceed 28V DC. These NKK Switches parts have significantly reduced current capacity and voltage rating compared to the TS01CGE's 3A/120V specification. Additionally, their operating temperature range is limited to -15°C ~ 60°C, which is narrower than the TS01CGE's -30°C ~ 85°C range.

Q: Why do some substitute parts show lower electrical life ratings?

A: Electrical life is determined by the switch design and contact material composition. The TS01CGE specifies 60,000 cycles, while the 48BFSP1M2QT and 500ASSP1M2QE specify 30,000 cycles. Both ratings are provided by the manufacturers based on their respective testing standards. Selection should account for the actual cycle count required in the application.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant, matching the TS01CGE's compliance status.

Q: What is the difference between contact timing "Shorting (MBB)" and "Not Specified"?

A: Contact timing describes the switching sequence. Shorting (MBB - Make Before Break) means the new contact closes before the old contact opens, creating a momentary connection between all three terminals. "Not Specified" indicates the manufacturer has not defined this characteristic in the provided data. For the TS01CGE and most direct substitutes, this parameter does not affect functional compatibility in standard On-On applications.

Q: Does packaging type (Bulk versus Tray) affect substitution compatibility?

A: No. Packaging type affects only handling, storage, and ordering logistics. The electrical and mechanical specifications of the component remain identical regardless of packaging format.
