Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and full ROHS3 compliance with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring long-term availability and environmental regulatory adherence.

34CMDP33B2M6RT (Grayhill Inc.): Primary specification. Bulk packaging format. Standard electrical life rating of 30,000 cycles. No ingress protection specification. REACH status unaffected.

E203MD1AV2BE (C&K): Functionally equivalent with enhanced electrical life of 40,000 cycles and IP57 ingress protection rating (dust protected, waterproof). Vertical mounting orientation specified. Tray packaging format. Actuator length 7.62mm (0.25mm longer than primary part). REACH affected status.

T203MH9ABE (C&K): Functionally equivalent with standard electrical life rating of 30,000 cycles. Bulk packaging format. Actuator length 5.33mm (shorter than primary part by 2.04mm). No ingress protection specification. REACH affected status.

Selection between substitute parts depends on application requirements for ingress protection, actuator length constraints, packaging format preferences, and REACH compliance documentation needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can E203MD1AV2BE replace 34CMDP33B2M6RT in all applications?

A: E203MD1AV2BE is electrically and mechanically equivalent. The primary differences are actuator length (7.62mm vs. 7.37mm), enhanced electrical life (40,000 vs. 30,000 cycles), IP57 ingress protection rating, and vertical mounting orientation. Panel cutout and actuator engagement depth must be verified for the specific application.

Q: What is the significance of the actuator length difference between these parts?

A: Actuator length affects panel engagement depth and user interface feel. The 34CMDP33B2M6RT has a 7.37mm actuator, E203MD1AV2BE has 7.62mm, and T203MH9ABE has 5.33mm. Applications with fixed panel thickness or specific tactile requirements must account for these variations.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for moisture-sensitive environments?

A: All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. E203MD1AV2BE additionally provides IP57 ingress protection (dust protected, waterproof), offering enhanced environmental protection for applications exposed to moisture or particulate contamination.

Q: What is the difference between REACH Unaffected and REACH Affected status?

A: REACH Unaffected (34CMDP33B2M6RT) indicates the part is not subject to REACH substance restrictions. REACH Affected (E203MD1AV2BE, T203MH9ABE) indicates the part may contain substances of concern and requires REACH compliance documentation. Regulatory requirements vary by application and end-use jurisdiction.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Bulk and Tray packaging formats do not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging selection depends on procurement volume, storage requirements, and assembly process compatibility.

Q: Can T203MH9ABE be used where actuator length is critical?

A: T203MH9ABE has a significantly shorter actuator (5.33mm vs. 7.37mm). Applications requiring specific panel engagement depth or user interface consistency must evaluate whether the reduced actuator length is compatible with mechanical design constraints.

Q: Are all parts rated for the same electrical life?

A: No. The 34CMDP33B2M6RT and T203MH9ABE are rated for 30,000 cycles, while E203MD1AV2BE is rated for 40,000 cycles. Applications with high cycle count requirements may benefit from the extended electrical life of E203MD1AV2BE.
