ASQ11517 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ASQ11517 is a snap action switch manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration with On-Momentary switch function. This component is rated for 100mA DC at 30V with a lever straight actuator and through-hole PC pin termination. The part maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts become necessary when the ASQ11517 reaches end-of-life status, inventory depletion, or when design requirements permit alternative electrical or mechanical characteristics within the allowed parameter ranges for SPDT snap action switches.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ASQ11517 is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Must be SPDT
• Switch Function: Must be On-Momentary
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole
• Termination Style: Must be PC Pin
• Voltage Rating (DC): Must support minimum 30V DC
• Current Rating: Must support minimum 100mA DC
• RoHS Compliance: Must meet ROHS3 or equivalent standard

The substitute parts DG23-B1RA, DG13-B1RA, and ZX40E30E01 satisfy these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in actuator type (roller vs. straight), operating force, and mechanical life do not preclude substitution when the primary electrical parameters and circuit topology remain compatible.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DG23-B1RA (ZF Electronics): This substitute maintains identical DC voltage rating (30V) and electrical life (200,000 cycles) as the ASQ11517. Current rating is 50mA DC, which is lower than the 100mA requirement of the main part. This part is suitable only for applications where actual circuit current does not exceed 50mA. Product status is obsolete; inventory availability is 2,400 units. ROHS3 compliance is maintained.

DG13-B1RA (ZF Electronics): This substitute supports higher current capacity (2A DC) and maintains 30V DC voltage rating. Electrical life is reduced to 10,000 cycles compared to the ASQ11517's 200,000 cycles. Operating temperature range is narrower (-25°C to 85°C vs. -40°C to 85°C). Product status is obsolete; inventory availability is 19,860 units. ROHS3 compliance is maintained.

ZX40E30E01 (Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions): This substitute provides extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 120°C) and mechanical life specification (1,000,000 cycles). DC current and voltage ratings are not specified in available documentation. Electrical life is 10,000 cycles. Product status is obsolete; inventory availability is 968 units. RoHS compliance is confirmed.

Selection between substitutes depends on specific application requirements: current capacity constraints, temperature operating range, and acceptable electrical life cycles. The ASQ11517 remains the preferred choice where active product status and higher electrical life are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DG23-B1RA replace ASQ11517 in all applications?

A: DG23-B1RA is suitable only for applications where circuit current does not exceed 50mA DC. The ASQ11517 is rated for 100mA DC. If your application requires the full 100mA capacity, DG23-B1RA is not a direct substitute.

Q: What is the impact of reduced electrical life in DG13-B1RA and ZX40E30E01?

A: DG13-B1RA and ZX40E30E01 are rated for 10,000 electrical cycles compared to ASQ11517's 200,000 cycles. This affects component longevity in high-cycle applications. Select these substitutes only when application cycle count remains below 10,000 operations.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS compliant?

A: Yes. DG23-B1RA and DG13-B1RA are ROHS3 compliant. ZX40E30E01 is RoHS compliant. All parts meet regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: Why are substitute parts marked as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates these parts are no longer in active production by their manufacturers. Availability is limited to existing inventory. DG23-B1RA has 2,400 units available; DG13-B1RA has 19,860 units available; ZX40E30E01 has 968 units available.

Q: Does actuator type affect substitution compatibility?

A: Actuator type (straight vs. roller) affects mechanical feel and force distribution but does not prevent electrical substitution. ASQ11517 uses a straight lever; substitutes use roller or simulated roller actuators. Verify mechanical fit within your enclosure or mounting structure before selection.

Q: What is the significance of operating position and overtravel differences?

A: Operating position and overtravel affect the physical travel distance required to actuate the switch. ASQ11517 requires 0.366" (9.3mm) to operate with 0.102" (2.6mm) overtravel. Substitutes require 0.437-0.488" (11.1-12.4mm) to operate with 0.022-0.025" (0.55-0.6mm) overtravel. Verify mechanical clearance in your application before substitution.

Q: Can ZX40E30E01 operate at -40°C like ASQ11517?

A: Yes. ZX40E30E01 supports -40°C to 120°C operating range, which exceeds ASQ11517's -40°C to 85°C range. This part is suitable for extended temperature applications.
