TS01CSE Slide Switch SPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TS01CSE is an active-status slide switch manufactured by C&K, featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration with On-On switching function. This component is rated for 3A at 120V AC and 28V DC, designed for through-hole mounting with PC pin termination. The TS01CSE remains in active production with 860 units currently in stock.

Substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications (circuit type, current rating, voltage rating), mechanical compatibility (actuator type, mounting style, termination), and environmental compliance (RoHS3, REACH status, operating temperature range).

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are categorized into two groups based on electrical parameter compatibility with the TS01CSE:

Group 1: Full Electrical Equivalents (3A Rating, 120V AC) Parts 48BFSP1M2QT and 500ASSP1M2QE match the primary electrical specifications: 3A current rating and 120V AC voltage rating. These parts maintain identical circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-On), mounting type (Through Hole), and termination style (PC Pin). Operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C) and RoHS3 compliance are identical. These substitutes are suitable for direct replacement in applications requiring the full 3A/120V specification.

Group 2: Reduced-Rating Substitutes (0.4VA or 100mA Rating, 28V Maximum) Parts AS12AP, AS12CP, SS12SBP2, SS12SBP4, SS12SDP2, and SS12SDP4 operate at significantly lower current and voltage ratings. These parts are limited to 0.4VA or 100mA maximum current and 28V maximum voltage. While they maintain SPDT circuit configuration, Through Hole mounting, and PC Pin termination, they are suitable only for applications where the TS01CSE's 3A/120V capability is not required. These parts represent functional alternatives for lower-power switching applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring 3A/120V AC specifications: Select 48BFSP1M2QT (Grayhill Inc.) or 500ASSP1M2QE (E-Switch). Both parts maintain the TS01CSE's primary electrical ratings and are active-status products with ROHS3 compliance. The 500ASSP1M2QE offers higher inventory availability (7162 units) compared to 48BFSP1M2QT (835 units). Note that 48BFSP1M2QT provides 30,000 electrical life cycles versus the TS01CSE's 60,000 cycles, while 500ASSP1M2QE matches this specification at 30,000 cycles.

For applications with reduced power requirements (≤0.4VA or ≤100mA at ≤28V DC): Select from the NKK Switches portfolio: AS12AP, AS12CP, SS12SBP2, SS12SBP4, SS12SDP2, or SS12SDP4. All are active-status products with ROHS3 compliance. These parts are suitable only when the application does not require the TS01CSE's 3A/120V capability. Inventory availability is high across this group (1852 to 69554 units). Operating temperature range is reduced to -15°C ~ 60°C for SS series parts, which may limit suitability for applications requiring the TS01CSE's -30°C ~ 85°C range.

All substitute parts maintain identical circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-On), mounting type (Through Hole), and termination style (PC Pin) as the TS01CSE.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 48BFSP1M2QT or 500ASSP1M2QE be used as direct replacements for TS01CSE? A: Yes, both parts are direct electrical equivalents. They maintain 3A current rating, 120V AC voltage rating, SPDT circuit configuration, On-On switch function, Through Hole mounting, and PC Pin termination. Both are active-status products with ROHS3 compliance and identical operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C). The primary difference is reduced electrical life (30,000 cycles versus 60,000 cycles for TS01CSE).

Q: Can AS12AP, AS12CP, SS12SBP2, SS12SBP4, SS12SDP2, or SS12SDP4 replace TS01CSE in all applications? A: No. These parts are suitable only for applications where current requirements do not exceed 0.4VA or 100mA and voltage does not exceed 28V DC. They cannot handle the TS01CSE's 3A/120V AC specification. Additionally, SS series parts operate only to -15°C ~ 60°C, which is narrower than the TS01CSE's -30°C ~ 85°C range.

Q: What is the difference between SS12SBP2, SS12SBP4, SS12SDP2, and SS12SDP4? A: SS12SBP2 and SS12SDP2 are rated for 100mA DC at 30V maximum. SS12SBP4 and SS12SDP4 are rated for 0.4VA (AC/DC) at 28V maximum. Contact finish differs: SBP series uses silver finish, while SDP series uses gold finish. All four parts share identical actuator length (2.00mm), switch travel (2.00mm), and electrical life (10,000 cycles).

Q: What is the difference between AS12AP and AS12CP? A: Both parts are rated for 0.4VA (AC/DC) at 28V maximum with identical electrical life (50,000 cycles) and contact material (Phosphor Bronze with gold finish). The primary difference is actuator length: AS12AP has 2.50mm actuator length, while AS12CP has 3.80mm actuator length. Select based on mechanical space constraints in your application.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (48BFSP1M2QT, 500ASSP1M2QE, AS12AP, AS12CP, SS12SBP2, SS12SBP4, SS12SDP2, SS12SDP4) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the TS01CSE's compliance status.

Q: Which substitute offers the highest inventory availability? A: SS12SDP2 (NKK Switches) offers the highest inventory with 69,554 units in stock. For full 3A/120V equivalents, 500ASSP1M2QE (E-Switch) provides 7162 units.
