TSPD11CGSRA0 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSPD11CGSRA0 is a pushbutton switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, configured as a Standard Surface Mount, Right Angle SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) device. This component operates at 0.4VA with voltage ratings of 20V AC/DC and features a round plunger actuator with black cap. The switch is rated for 80,000 electrical cycles and operates across a temperature range of -30°C to 85°C.

The TSPD11CGSRA0 is classified as Obsolete. Locating equivalent or substitute components is necessary for applications requiring continued supply, design updates, or system maintenance where the original part is no longer available from standard distribution channels.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TSPD11CGSRA0 is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Current Rating: 0.4VA (AC/DC)
• Voltage Rating: 20V AC and 20V DC
• Operating Temperature Range: -30°C to 85°C

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Series Family: TSP
• Actuator Type: Round, Plunger
• Actuator Color: Black

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant or equivalent
• ECCN Classification: EAR99

The substitute part TSPD11FGPCV0 shares the same base product number (TSPD11), identical electrical ratings, and compatible actuator specifications. However, this substitute differs in circuit configuration (SPDT vs. SPST-NO), mounting type (Through Hole vs. Surface Mount, Right Angle), and termination style (PC Pin vs. Gull Wing). These differences require evaluation for specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Substitution (Same Application):

The TSPD11FGPCV0 is not a direct pin-for-pin or functional equivalent to the TSPD11CGSRA0. The substitute differs in three critical aspects:

1. Circuit Configuration: The main part is SPST-NO (single pole, single throw, normally open), while the substitute is SPDT (single pole, double throw). This represents a functional difference in switching capability.

2. Mounting Technology: The main part uses Surface Mount with Right Angle orientation and Gull Wing termination, while the substitute uses Through Hole mounting with PC Pin termination. These are incompatible with the same PCB layout.

3. Electrical Life: The main part is rated for 80,000 cycles, while the substitute is rated for 60,000 cycles, representing a 25% reduction in cycle life.

Product Status Consideration:

The TSPD11CGSRA0 is Obsolete, while the TSPD11FGPCV0 is Active. The Active status of the substitute ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support from TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches.

Compliance Status:

The main part carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. The substitute part lists RoHS Status as "Not applicable," which requires clarification with the manufacturer regarding environmental compliance requirements for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSPD11FGPCV0 replace TSPD11CGSRA0 in my existing circuit board?

A: No. The TSPD11FGPCV0 uses Through Hole mounting with PC Pin termination, while the TSPD11CGSRA0 uses Surface Mount with Gull Wing termination. These components require different PCB footprints and cannot be used interchangeably without circuit board redesign.

Q: What is the functional difference between SPST-NO and SPDT configurations?

A: SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) provides one switching path that opens and closes. SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) provides two switching paths, allowing the switch to connect to one of two circuits. The TSPD11CGSRA0 is SPST-NO, while the TSPD11FGPCV0 is SPDT.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: The current rating (0.4VA AC/DC) and voltage ratings (20V AC/DC) are identical. However, the electrical life differs: TSPD11CGSRA0 is rated for 80,000 cycles, while TSPD11FGPCV0 is rated for 60,000 cycles.

Q: What does "Obsolete" status mean for the TSPD11CGSRA0?

A: Obsolete status indicates that TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches has discontinued manufacturing and standard distribution of this part. New inventory may be available through authorized distributors with existing stock, but long-term availability is not guaranteed.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The TSPD11CGSRA0 is explicitly ROHS3 Compliant. The TSPD11FGPCV0 lists RoHS Status as "Not applicable." Clarification from the manufacturer is required to determine the environmental compliance status of the substitute part for your specific application requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both the TSPD11CGSRA0 and TSPD11FGPCV0 operate across the same temperature range of -30°C to 85°C.

Q: Can I use TSPD11FGPCV0 if I redesign my circuit board?

A: Functional compatibility depends on your circuit design requirements. The TSPD11FGPCV0 is SPDT (double throw) rather than SPST-NO (single throw), which may or may not suit your application. Additionally, the reduced electrical life (60,000 vs. 80,000 cycles) must be evaluated against your duty cycle requirements. Consult your circuit design specifications to determine suitability.
