ES23MAKE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ES23MAKE is a slide switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration rated for 0.4VA at 20V, designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This component features phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish, epoxy sealed terminals rated IP57, and operates across -30°C to 85°C. The ES23MAKE is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ES23MAKE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Circuit configuration (DPDT)
  • Switch function (On-Off-On)
  • Current and voltage ratings (0.4VA, 20V AC/DC)
  • Mounting type and termination style (Through Hole, Right Angle; PC Pin)
  • Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
  • Mechanical and electrical life specifications (40,000 cycles)
  • Contact material properties and finish (gold-plated)
  • Environmental sealing (IP57)

The ES23MABE meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct substitute within the ES series family.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ES23MABE is the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete ES23MAKE. Both components share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and performance characteristics across all critical parameters.

The ES23MABE offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability. Additionally, the ES23MABE achieves RoHS3 compliance, making it suitable for applications subject to environmental and regulatory restrictions. The ES23MABE is packaged in trays, whereas the ES23MAKE packaging specification was not provided.

For new designs or component replacement in existing applications, the ES23MABE is the appropriate selection when the ES23MAKE reaches end-of-life or becomes unavailable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ES23MABE directly replace ES23MAKE in existing designs?

A: Yes. The ES23MABE is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the ES23MAKE across all specified parameters, including circuit configuration, voltage and current ratings, mounting type, and operating temperature range.

Q: What is the primary difference between these parts?

A: The ES23MAKE is obsolete, while the ES23MABE maintains active product status. The ES23MABE also achieves RoHS3 compliance, whereas the ES23MAKE is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The ES23MABE is supplied in trays. The ES23MAKE packaging specification was not provided in the available data.

Q: Do these parts have identical contact materials?

A: Both parts feature gold-plated contacts. The ES23MAKE specifies phosphor bronze base material, while the ES23MABE specifies bronze base material. Both achieve equivalent electrical performance with gold finish.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations for substitution?

A: The ES23MABE is RoHS3 compliant and REACH affected, making it suitable for applications with environmental compliance requirements. The ES23MAKE is RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected.
