ADTS63RV Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ADTS63RV is an active, ROHS3-compliant tactile switch manufactured by APEM Inc. This SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) switch is rated for 0.05A at 12VDC and features top-actuated through-hole mounting with tactile feedback. The switch operates across a temperature range of -25°C to 70°C and is supplied in bulk packaging with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified to provide equivalent electrical and mechanical functionality for applications requiring alternative sourcing, inventory availability, or specific mechanical configurations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ADTS63RV are identified based on electrical and mechanical compatibility within the tactile switch category. The primary substitution criteria are:

Electrical Equivalence:

• Circuit configuration: SPST-NO
• Contact rating: 0.05A @ 12VDC
• Switch function: Off-Mom (momentary operation)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Actuator orientation: Top Actuated
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Switch travel: 0.25mm

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS3 compliance
• REACH unaffected status
• MSL 1 rating

The substitute part TL1240RQ1JCLR meets all core electrical and mechanical criteria. Variations in actuator height (7.00mm vs. 8.20mm), operating force (260gf vs. 160gf), actuator material composition, and illumination features represent design differences that do not prevent functional substitution in applications where these parameters are not critical constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ADTS63RV and TL1240RQ1JCLR are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement. Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and identical HTSUS commodity codes, indicating equivalent trade classification.

The ADTS63RV is suitable for applications requiring a lower minimum operating temperature (-25°C vs. -20°C) and higher operating force (260gf vs. 160gf). The TL1240RQ1JCLR provides documented mechanical life specification (100,000 cycles) and is available in higher inventory quantities (15,175 pcs vs. 1,073 pcs).

Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements regarding actuator height clearance, operating force preference, and temperature range constraints. Both parts satisfy the core electrical specification of 0.05A @ 12VDC SPST-NO momentary operation with identical switch travel and through-hole PC pin termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TL1240RQ1JCLR replace the ADTS63RV in all applications?

A: Both parts meet the core electrical specification (SPST-NO, 0.05A @ 12VDC, momentary operation) and share identical switch travel (0.25mm) and termination style (PC Pin through-hole). Substitution is valid for applications where the differences in actuator height (1.2mm variance), operating force (100gf difference), and minimum operating temperature (-20°C vs. -25°C) do not impose design constraints.

Q: What are the key differences between these two switches?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Actuator height off PCB—ADTS63RV is 7.00mm, TL1240RQ1JCLR is 8.20mm; (2) Operating force—ADTS63RV requires 260gf, TL1240RQ1JCLR requires 160gf; (3) Outline dimensions—ADTS63RV is 6.20mm x 6.20mm, TL1240RQ1JCLR is 6.00mm x 6.00mm; (4) Operating temperature minimum—ADTS63RV operates to -25°C, TL1240RQ1JCLR to -20°C; (5) TL1240RQ1JCLR includes LED illumination (red, 2.3VDC) and documented mechanical life (100,000 cycles).

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the ADTS63RV and TL1240RQ1JCLR are ROHS3 compliant and carry REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component use in regulated markets.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 rating?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life with no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling. Both parts carry this rating, eliminating moisture-related procurement or storage constraints.

Q: How do the outline dimensions affect PCB layout?

A: The ADTS63RV footprint is 6.20mm x 6.20mm, while the TL1240RQ1JCLR footprint is 6.00mm x 6.00mm. This 0.2mm difference per side is negligible for most applications but should be verified against PCB design files if space constraints are critical. Both parts use identical PC pin termination for through-hole mounting.

Q: What does the SPST-NO circuit configuration mean?

A: SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) indicates the switch has one contact pair that remains open in the resting state and closes only when the actuator is pressed. Both parts function as momentary switches (Off-Mom), returning to the open state when actuator pressure is released.
