ES22MAKE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ES22MAKE is a slide switch manufactured by C&K, classified as a DPST (Double Pole Single Throw) switch rated for 0.4VA at 20V. This component features through-hole, right-angle mounting with phosphor bronze contacts finished in gold and epoxy sealed terminals rated IP57. The ES22MAKE is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ES22MAKE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Circuit configuration must remain DPST to maintain electrical functionality. Current and voltage ratings must match or exceed the original specification (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC). Mounting type, termination style, and physical dimensions including actuator length (3.07mm) and switch travel (2.29mm) must be identical to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mechanical assemblies. Contact material and finish specifications must be maintained to preserve electrical performance and reliability characteristics. Operating temperature range, mechanical life, and electrical life ratings must meet or exceed the original component specifications. Environmental sealing (IP57) and moisture sensitivity level must be preserved.

The ES22MABE qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete parameter alignment across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ES22MABE is the qualified substitute for the obsolete ES22MAKE. Both components share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and functional specifications. The primary distinction is product status: ES22MABE is currently active in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

From a compliance perspective, ES22MABE achieves RoHS3 compliance, whereas ES22MAKE is non-compliant. For new designs or applications subject to RoHS requirements, ES22MABE is the appropriate selection. The REACH status difference reflects regulatory classification rather than material composition differences affecting substitution suitability.

Packaging differs between the two parts: ES22MAKE is supplied in standard packaging, while ES22MABE is supplied in trays. This distinction affects procurement and handling procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ES22MABE directly replace ES22MAKE in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical circuit configuration (DPST), current and voltage ratings (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC), mounting type (through-hole right angle), physical dimensions (3.07mm actuator length, 2.29mm switch travel), and environmental specifications (IP57, MSL 1). Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: ES22MAKE is obsolete, meaning C&K has discontinued production and support. ES22MABE is active, ensuring continued availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability. For ongoing production or new designs, ES22MABE is the recommended selection.

Q: Does the contact material difference (Phosphor Bronze vs. Bronze) affect substitution?

A: Both materials are acceptable for this application class. The contact finish (gold) is identical on both parts, which is the primary determinant of electrical performance and reliability. The base material difference does not preclude substitution.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to ES22MABE?

A: ES22MABE is supplied in trays rather than standard packaging. Verify that tray packaging is compatible with your receiving, storage, and assembly processes. Component specifications and performance are unaffected by packaging format.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance implications for substitution?

A: ES22MABE achieves RoHS3 compliance, while ES22MAKE is non-compliant. If your application or market requires RoHS compliance, ES22MABE satisfies this requirement. If RoHS compliance is not a requirement, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: How do I verify compatibility before implementing the substitution?

A: Confirm that your PCB layout accommodates the through-hole right-angle mounting configuration and 3.07mm actuator length. Verify that your circuit operates within the 0.4VA at 20V rating. Confirm that the operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C) matches your application requirements. These parameters are identical between both parts.
