EG2309 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EG2309 is a slide switch with DP3T (Double Pole, Three Throw) circuit configuration, rated for 100mA DC at 30V. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The EG2309 features through-hole mounting with silver-plated copper alloy contacts and is suitable for applications requiring multi-position switching functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EG2309 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Must be DP3T to maintain functional equivalence
• Switch Function: Must be On-On-On for identical switching behavior
• Voltage Rating: Must be rated for 30V DC minimum
• Current Rating: Must support the application's current requirements
• Contact Material and Finish: Must be Copper Alloy with Silver finish for electrical performance consistency
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole to ensure PCB compatibility
• Termination Style: Must be PC Pin for direct replacement capability
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass -20°C to 70°C minimum
• Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The EG2301 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. While the EG2301 features a higher current rating (200mA versus 100mA), this represents an upward-compatible specification that does not compromise the EG2309's functional requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EG2301 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete EG2309. Both components maintain identical circuit configuration, voltage rating, contact material specifications, and mounting characteristics. The EG2301 carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for current manufacturing standards.

The EG2301's increased current rating (200mA) provides enhanced capability margin without introducing incompatibility. This upward specification is suitable for applications originally designed for the EG2309's 100mA rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EG2301 directly replace the EG2309 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical circuit configuration (DP3T), switch function (On-On-On), voltage rating (30V DC), contact material (Copper Alloy with Silver finish), mounting type (Through Hole), and termination style (PC Pin). The EG2301's higher current rating does not create incompatibility.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The EG2309 is classified as obsolete. The EG2301 is an active product from the same manufacturer and series, providing assured supply availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The EG2309 is specified with "-" packaging notation, while the EG2301 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the EG2309 and EG2301 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the difference in current rating between these parts?

A: The EG2309 is rated for 100mA DC, while the EG2301 is rated for 200mA DC. The EG2301's higher rating represents an upward-compatible specification suitable for the EG2309's application envelope.
