ED S SC 0 Tactile Switch - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ED S SC 0 is a tactile switch manufactured by C&K, classified as SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) with a contact rating of 0.1A at 100VAC/DC. This surface mount component features a snap dome actuator with top actuation and is designed for applications requiring momentary switching functionality.

The ED S SC 0 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure component availability, and support ongoing production or repair requirements for systems utilizing this switch.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ED S SC 0 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPST-NO)
• Switch function (Off-Mom momentary operation)
• Contact rating (0.1A @ 100VAC/DC)
• Actuator type (Snap Dome)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Actuator height (1.20mm)
• Actuator orientation (Top Actuated)
• Termination style (SMD Tab)
• Operating force (240gf)
• Operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 70°C)
• Switch travel (0.30mm)
• Mechanical life (1,000,000 Cycles)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The EDSSC0LFS maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved product status and compliance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EDSSC0LFS is the direct substitute for the ED S SC 0. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The EDSSC0LFS offers two significant advantages:

1. Active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support from C&K.
2. ROHS3 compliance satisfies regulatory requirements for new designs and applications subject to RoHS directives.

Selection of EDSSC0LFS is appropriate for applications where component availability, regulatory compliance, and long-term supply chain stability are required. The obsolete status of ED S SC 0 makes EDSSC0LFS the preferred choice for new implementations and component replenishment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EDSSC0LFS be used as a direct replacement for ED S SC 0?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (0.1A @ 100VAC/DC, SPST-NO), mechanical characteristics (1.20mm actuator height, 240gf operating force, 0.30mm travel), and operating parameters (-25°C ~ 70°C temperature range, 1,000,000 cycle mechanical life). PCB layout and assembly processes require no modification.

Q: What is the difference between ED S SC 0 and EDSSC0LFS?

A: The components are functionally equivalent. EDSSC0LFS differs in product status (Active vs. Obsolete), RoHS compliance (ROHS3 Compliant vs. non-compliant), and packaging format (Tray vs. unspecified).

Q: Does the packaging difference affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format (Tray for EDSSC0LFS) affects logistics and handling but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance. Both components use identical SMD Tab termination and surface mount configuration.

Q: Is EDSSC0LFS suitable for applications originally designed for ED S SC 0?

A: Yes, provided the application does not require the specific non-compliant RoHS status of the original part. For all standard applications, EDSSC0LFS provides equivalent functionality with improved compliance and availability.

Q: What certifications apply to EDSSC0LFS?

A: EDSSC0LFS is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. These certifications match the regulatory framework of the ED S SC 0 (REACH unaffected) while adding RoHS3 compliance.
