TSS11DGPC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSS11DGPC is a slide switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, configured as a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch with a 0.4VA current rating at 20V. This component features a standard actuator design with through-hole mounting and gold-plated copper contacts. The TSS11DGPC is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for continued circuit functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSS11DGPC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: SPDT circuit configuration, 0.4VA current rating, 20V AC/DC voltage rating, non-shorting contact timing, on-on switch function, through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, copper contacts with gold finish, -20°C to 80°C operating temperature range, 60,000 cycle mechanical and electrical life ratings, 3.05mm switch travel, and 150 to 600gf operating force.

The substitute parts 1571982-1 and 1571982-2 maintain complete electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence with the TSS11DGPC. Both substitute parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches and share the identical TSS series designation. The primary distinction between substitute options relates to actuator design: 1571982-1 features a standard actuator identical to the main part, while 1571982-2 incorporates a flush actuator design. Both substitutes are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing regulatory advantages over the obsolete main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 1571982-1 and 1571982-2 are direct functional equivalents to the TSS11DGPC across all specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection between these two active alternatives depends on actuator profile requirements within the target application.

1571982-1 maintains the standard actuator design identical to the TSS11DGPC, providing direct mechanical compatibility for applications where the original actuator profile is specified or required for panel integration.

1571982-2 incorporates a flush actuator design while maintaining all electrical specifications and mechanical life ratings. This variant is suitable for applications requiring a recessed actuator profile or where panel space constraints necessitate a flush-mount configuration.

Both substitute parts offer regulatory advantages over the obsolete TSS11DGPC, with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Active product status ensures continued availability and manufacturing support for both alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1571982-1 and 1571982-2 be used interchangeably with TSS11DGPC?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent to TSS11DGPC across all specified parameters. Interchangeability depends on actuator profile requirements. The standard actuator of 1571982-1 matches the TSS11DGPC profile, while 1571982-2 features a flush actuator design. Panel cutout geometry and actuator engagement specifications determine which variant is appropriate for a given application.

Q: What is the primary difference between 1571982-1 and 1571982-2?

A: The actuator type differs between the two parts. 1571982-1 features a standard actuator identical to the TSS11DGPC, while 1571982-2 incorporates a flush actuator design. All other electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical between the two substitutes.

Q: Why is TSS11DGPC classified as obsolete?

A: The TSS11DGPC is listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. The active alternatives 1571982-1 and 1571982-2 provide equivalent functionality with current manufacturing support and improved regulatory compliance.

Q: Are the substitute parts ROHS compliant?

A: Yes, both 1571982-1 and 1571982-2 are ROHS3 compliant. The original TSS11DGPC has not applicable RoHS status due to its obsolete classification.

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain the same electrical ratings?

A: Yes, both 1571982-1 and 1571982-2 maintain identical electrical specifications: 0.4VA current rating, 20V AC/DC voltage rating, SPDT circuit configuration, and non-shorting contact timing.

Q: What is the mechanical life expectancy of the substitute parts?

A: Both substitute parts are rated for 60,000 mechanical cycles and 60,000 electrical cycles, identical to the TSS11DGPC specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The TSS11DGPC packaging is listed as dash (unspecified), while both substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging. This reflects the active status of the substitute parts and standard distribution practices for current products.
