95C06E3T Tactile Switch SPST-NO Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 95C06E3T is an active-status tactile switch manufactured by Grayhill Inc., configured as a single-pole single-throw normally-open (SPST-NO) device rated for 0.05A at 12VDC. This through-hole mounted switch features top actuation with tactile feedback, a 13.00mm actuator height, and 160gf operating force. The component is RoHS3 compliant and carries unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) classification.

Substitute parts are necessary when the original 95C06E3T becomes unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required, or when design specifications permit variations in mechanical characteristics such as actuator height or operating force while maintaining electrical equivalence.

• Contact rating: 0.05A @ 12VDC
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Actuator orientation: Top Actuated
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Switch travel: 0.25mm
• Actuator material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL 1 classification

Allowable Variations:

• Actuator height: ±0.50mm from 13.00mm
• Operating force: 160gf (exact match required for primary substitutes)
• Outline dimensions: Minor variations permitted within PCB footprint compatibility
• Operating temperature range: May extend beyond -25°C ~ 70°C

Substitute parts are grouped by manufacturer and series. Parts with identical electrical specifications and compatible mechanical dimensions are classified as direct substitutes. Parts with differing operating force or voltage ratings are classified as conditional substitutes requiring design verification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence):

ADTS66NV (APEM Inc.) provides direct substitution for the 95C06E3T. Both components share identical electrical specifications (0.05A @ 12VDC), actuator height (13.00mm), operating force (160gf), outline dimensions (6.20mm x 6.20mm), and switch travel (0.25mm). Both are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 classification. The ADTS66NV is available in bulk packaging format, whereas the 95C06E3T is supplied in bag packaging.

TL1105DF160Q (E-Switch) is electrically equivalent with matching contact rating (0.05A @ 12VDC), actuator height (13.00mm), operating force (160gf), and switch travel (0.25mm). The outline dimension is 6.00mm x 6.00mm, representing a 0.20mm reduction in both X and Y axes compared to the 95C06E3T. This dimensional difference requires PCB footprint verification. RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 classification are maintained. Mechanical life is rated at 100,000 cycles versus 1,000,000 cycles for the 95C06E3T.

Conditional Substitutes (Voltage or Mechanical Variations):

TL1105DF160R (E-Switch) is rated for 0.05A @ 50VDC, representing a voltage rating increase from 12VDC. This part is suitable only for applications where the higher voltage rating is compatible with circuit design. Actuator height, operating force, and switch travel match the 95C06E3T specifications. Outline dimension is 6.00mm x 6.00mm.

TL1105DF250Q (E-Switch) features an increased operating force of 250gf compared to the 160gf specification of the 95C06E3T. This higher actuation force is suitable only for applications where increased tactile resistance is acceptable or required. Electrical specifications and other mechanical parameters remain equivalent to the 95C06E3T.

TL1105HF160Q (E-Switch) has an actuator height of 12.50mm, representing a 0.50mm reduction from the 95C06E3T specification of 13.00mm. This dimensional variation requires verification of PCB clearance and enclosure fit. Electrical specifications and operating force match the 95C06E3T.

TL1105KF160Q (E-Switch) has an actuator height of 13.50mm, representing a 0.50mm increase from the 95C06E3T specification. This dimensional variation requires verification of enclosure height and actuator accessibility. Electrical specifications and operating force match the 95C06E3T.

All substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 classification, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with the original 95C06E3T specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ADTS66NV directly replace the 95C06E3T without PCB modification?

A: The ADTS66NV is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 95C06E3T. Both components have identical actuator height (13.00mm), operating force (160gf), switch travel (0.25mm), and outline dimensions (6.20mm x 6.20mm). Direct substitution is possible without PCB modification. The primary difference is packaging format: ADTS66NV is supplied in bulk, while 95C06E3T is supplied in bag format.

Q: What is the difference between TL1105DF160Q and TL1105DF160R?

A: Both parts are manufactured by E-Switch with identical mechanical specifications (13.00mm actuator height, 160gf operating force, 6.00mm x 6.00mm outline). The primary difference is the contact voltage rating: TL1105DF160Q is rated for 0.05A @ 12VDC, while TL1105DF160R is rated for 0.05A @ 50VDC. Selection depends on the circuit voltage requirement. The TL1105DF160R is suitable only for applications operating at higher voltages.

Q: Why do E-Switch TL1105 series parts have different outline dimensions (6.00mm x 6.00mm) compared to the 95C06E3T (6.20mm x 6.20mm)?

A: The 0.20mm dimensional reduction in both X and Y axes represents a design variation between manufacturers. This difference requires verification of PCB footprint compatibility. If the PCB is designed specifically for the 6.20mm x 6.20mm outline, the 6.00mm x 6.00mm E-Switch parts may not align properly with the mounting holes. PCB layout review is necessary before substitution.

Q: Can I use TL1105HF160Q or TL1105KF160Q if the 95C06E3T is unavailable?

A: Both parts are electrically equivalent to the 95C06E3T with matching contact rating (0.05A @ 12VDC) and operating force (160gf). However, actuator height differs: TL1105HF160Q is 12.50mm (0.50mm shorter) and TL1105KF160Q is 13.50mm (0.50mm taller). These variations require verification of enclosure clearance and actuator accessibility. If the design permits ±0.50mm height variation, substitution is acceptable.

Q: What is the mechanical life difference between the 95C06E3T and E-Switch TL1105 series substitutes?

A: The 95C06E3T is rated for 1,000,000 mechanical cycles, while all E-Switch TL1105 series parts are rated for 100,000 cycles. This represents a tenfold difference in cycle life. For applications requiring extended operational life or frequent actuation, the 95C06E3T provides superior durability. For low-cycle-count applications, the E-Switch parts are acceptable.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed (ADTS66NV, TL1105DF160Q, TL1105DF160R, TL1105DF250Q, TL1105HF160Q, TL1105KF160Q) are RoHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the 95C06E3T. All parts also carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level classification.

Q: What does the operating force specification mean, and why does it matter for substitution?

A: Operating force, measured in grams-force (gf), indicates the pressure required to actuate the switch. The 95C06E3T requires 160gf. E-Switch offers alternatives with 100gf (TL1105DF100Q, TL1105HF100Q) and 250gf (TL1105DF250Q, TL1105KF250Q) specifications. Lower force (100gf) results in easier actuation; higher force (250gf) requires greater pressure. Selection depends on user interface requirements and intended application.

Q: Can I substitute a 12VDC-rated part with a 50VDC-rated part?

A: Yes, a higher voltage-rated part can be used in a lower voltage application. The TL1105DF160R and TL1105KF250R are rated for 0.05A @ 50VDC and can be used in 12VDC circuits. The reverse substitution (using a 12VDC-rated part in a 50VDC circuit) is not acceptable and will result in component failure.

Q: What is the significance of the outline dimension difference between 6.20mm and 6.00mm?

A: The outline dimension defines the physical footprint of the switch on the PCB. A 0.20mm difference in both axes represents a 0.40mm total width and depth reduction. If the PCB is designed with mounting holes spaced for the 6.20mm outline, a 6.00mm component will not align properly. PCB layout verification is mandatory before substitution with E-Switch parts.
