EB2011/U Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EB2011/U is an SPDT pushbutton switch manufactured by NKK Switches, rated for 3A at 125V AC with panel mount rear configuration. This component is designed for standard switching applications requiring momentary on-off functionality with solder lug termination. The part is currently active in production with 805 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, circuit configuration, and mechanical mounting specifications are required for design flexibility, inventory management, or supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EB2011/U is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Circuit type (SPDT), current rating (3A AC), and voltage rating (125V AC) must match exactly
• Mechanical Compatibility: Panel mount rear configuration and solder lug termination are required for direct substitution
• Switch Function: Momentary on-off operation must be maintained
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliance is mandatory; REACH status and ECCN classification must be equivalent or compliant

The substitute part MPS-103F meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, enabling direct substitution in applications where the EB2011/U is specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both EB2011/U and MPS-103F are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and equivalent electrical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Application Temperature Range: The MPS-103F operates across -20°C to 80°C, providing extended low-temperature capability compared to the EB2011/U range of -10°C to 70°C. Applications requiring operation below -10°C or above 70°C necessitate the MPS-103F.
• Mechanical Durability: The EB2011/U specifies 100,000 mechanical cycles; the MPS-103F does not provide this specification. High-cycle applications should prioritize the EB2011/U.
• Operational Characteristics: The EB2011/U features epoxy sealed terminals; the MPS-103F provides tactile/audible feedback. Application requirements for sealed construction or tactile response should guide selection.
• Inventory Availability: EB2011/U has 805 units in stock; MPS-103F has 991 units in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MPS-103F directly replace EB2011/U in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications operating within -10°C to 70°C. The MPS-103F meets all critical electrical (SPDT, 3A, 125V AC) and mechanical (panel mount rear, solder lug) specifications. Applications requiring operation below -10°C or above 70°C should verify compatibility with the extended temperature range of MPS-103F.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: Operating temperature range, mechanical life specification, and operational feedback characteristics differ. The EB2011/U specifies 100,000 mechanical cycles and operates -10°C to 70°C with epoxy sealed terminals. The MPS-103F operates -20°C to 80°C with tactile/audible feedback; mechanical life is not specified.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both EB2011/U and MPS-103F are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification.

Q: What is the panel cutout requirement?

A: The EB2011/U specifies a circular 6.35mm diameter panel cutout. The MPS-103F panel cutout dimensions are not provided in available specifications; verification with the manufacturer is required before mechanical integration.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-cycle applications?

A: The EB2011/U is specified for 100,000 mechanical cycles. The MPS-103F does not provide mechanical life specification. For applications exceeding 25,000 electrical cycles, the EB2011/U is the specified choice.
