TS01CLE Slide Switch SPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TS01CLE is a slide switch with Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) configuration manufactured by C&K. This through-hole mounted switch is rated for 3A at 120V AC and 28V DC, featuring silver contacts with gold finish and polyamide actuator construction. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TS01CLE are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT
• Switch function: On-On
• Current rating: 3A (AC/DC)
• Voltage rating: 120V AC / 28V DC minimum
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Operating temperature range: -30°C to 85°C or compatible overlap
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute parts listed below meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements, enabling direct replacement in applications designed for the TS01CLE.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TS01CRE (Direct Equivalent): This C&K part is the primary substitute for the TS01CLE. It maintains identical electrical ratings (3A at 120V AC / 28V DC), mechanical dimensions, and operating temperature range. The TS01CRE is active in production status, ensuring long-term availability. Both parts share the same series designation (TS) and are RoHS compliant. This part provides the most direct replacement path.

500ASSP1M2QE (Functional Equivalent): The E-Switch 500ASSP1M2QE matches the TS01CLE in current rating (3A AC/DC), voltage rating (120V AC / 28V DC), and operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C). It features identical actuator length (3.10mm) and switch travel (3.05mm). The primary difference is reduced electrical life (30,000 cycles versus 60,000 cycles). This part is suitable for applications where the lower cycle rating is acceptable. It is ROHS3 compliant and actively produced.

1825032-1 (Limited Compatibility): The TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH part has reduced electrical and current ratings (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC), making it unsuitable for applications requiring the full 3A at 120V AC specification. The operating temperature range is narrower (-20°C to 80°C). This part should only be considered for low-power applications with reduced voltage and current requirements. It is ROHS3 compliant and actively produced.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TS01CRE directly replace TS01CLE in all applications? A: Yes. The TS01CRE is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the TS01CLE, with identical current ratings (3A AC/DC), voltage ratings (120V AC / 28V DC), operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C), and mechanical dimensions. The primary difference is product status: TS01CRE is active while TS01CLE is obsolete.

Q: What are the limitations of using 500ASSP1M2QE as a substitute? A: The 500ASSP1M2QE has reduced electrical life (30,000 cycles versus 60,000 cycles). Applications requiring extended cycle life should use TS01CRE instead. All other electrical and mechanical parameters match the TS01CLE.

Q: Is 1825032-1 suitable for high-current applications? A: No. The 1825032-1 is rated for only 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC, significantly below the TS01CLE specification of 3A at 120V AC / 28V DC. This part is only suitable for low-power switching applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. TS01CRE, 500ASSP1M2QE, and 1825032-1 are all RoHS compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements equivalent to the TS01CLE.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts? A: TS01CRE is supplied in bulk packaging. 500ASSP1M2QE is supplied in tray packaging. 1825032-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection should be based on procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Do substitute parts have the same actuator dimensions? A: TS01CRE and 500ASSP1M2QE have identical actuator length (3.10mm) and switch travel (3.05mm) to the TS01CLE. The 1825032-1 has a longer actuator (4.60mm) and shorter travel (2.20mm), which may affect mechanical fit in space-constrained designs.
