EB2061-BE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EB2061-BE is an active DPDT pushbutton switch manufactured by NKK Switches, rated for 3A at 125V AC. This component is designed for standard panel mount applications with rear termination using solder lugs. The switch features an on-momentary function with a yellow round button actuator and epoxy sealed terminals. Finding equivalent or substitute parts is necessary to ensure supply chain flexibility, manage inventory across multiple suppliers, and maintain design continuity when the primary part becomes unavailable.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EB2061-BE is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Must be DPDT to maintain electrical functionality
• Switch Function: Must be On-Mom to preserve operational behavior
• Current Rating: Must support minimum 3A AC
• Voltage Rating: Must support minimum 125V AC
• Mounting Type: Must be Panel Mount, Rear to ensure mechanical compatibility
• Termination Style: Must be Solder Lug for connection compatibility
• Electrical Life: Must meet or exceed 25,000 cycles
• Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance

The MPS-203R from TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches meets all critical substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent for the EB2061-BE.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the EB2061-BE and MPS-203R are active products with ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification. The MPS-203R provides an extended operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 80°C) compared to the EB2061-BE (-10°C ~ 70°C), making it suitable for applications requiring broader thermal performance. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical mounting requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific temperature requirements, supplier availability, and inventory management priorities. The MPS-203R is a direct functional equivalent for all standard operating conditions within the EB2061-BE specification range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPS-203R replace the EB2061-BE in all applications?

A: Yes, the MPS-203R is a direct equivalent for applications operating within the EB2061-BE temperature range (-10°C ~ 70°C). The MPS-203R's extended temperature capability (-20°C ~ 80°C) provides additional margin for thermal extremes but does not affect compatibility within the original specification window.

Q: Are there differences in actuator design between these parts?

A: The EB2061-BE features a round button actuator with yellow color marking. The MPS-203R uses a plunger-type actuator. Both actuators are compatible with standard panel cutout dimensions for rear-mount DPDT switches, though physical appearance differs.

Q: Do both parts have identical electrical life ratings?

A: Yes, both the EB2061-BE and MPS-203R are rated for 25,000 electrical cycles, ensuring equivalent reliability in switching applications.

Q: What is the significance of the solder lug termination?

A: Solder lug termination on both parts enables direct connection to PCB traces or wire harnesses through soldering. This termination style is standard for panel-mount pushbutton switches and ensures consistent electrical connection across both equivalent parts.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the EB2061-BE and MPS-203R are ROHS3 compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.
