ESE-11MH6T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ESE-11MH6T is a surface mount SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) switch detector manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. This component operates at 5V DC with a 10mA current rating and features an overtravel plunger actuator with right-angle mounting configuration. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable equivalent components essential for ongoing design support and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ESE-11MH6T is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Circuit configuration (SPST-NO), switch function (Off-Mom), current rating (10mA DC), voltage rating (5V DC), actuator type (overtravel plunger), mounting type (surface mount, right angle), and termination style (gull wing). These parameters define the functional and physical compatibility requirements for direct substitution.

The ESE-11MH1T qualifies as a direct equivalent based on identical values across all critical parameters. Both components share the same base product number (ESE-11), series designation, and electrical specifications. The primary distinction is product status: ESE-11MH6T is obsolete while ESE-11MH1T is active, with improved availability and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ESE-11MH1T is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete ESE-11MH6T. Both components meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The ESE-11MH1T offers the advantage of active product status with documented RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, supporting modern regulatory requirements. Packaging is available in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated assembly processes. Inventory availability for ESE-11MH1T significantly exceeds that of the obsolete ESE-11MH6T, ensuring supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ESE-11MH1T directly replace ESE-11MH6T in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters, including circuit configuration, voltage and current ratings, actuator type, mounting configuration, and termination style. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The ESE-11MH6T is obsolete with limited inventory availability, while ESE-11MH1T is an active product with robust supply. ESE-11MH1T includes documented RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Packaging differs: ESE-11MH6T is supplied in bulk, while ESE-11MH1T is available in Tape & Reel format.

Q: Are there packaging compatibility considerations?

A: ESE-11MH1T is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, which is standard for automated surface mount assembly. If bulk packaging is required, this must be addressed through supplier options or reel-to-bulk conversion processes.

Q: Do compliance certifications affect substitution?

A: ESE-11MH1T carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. These certifications support modern regulatory frameworks and are beneficial for new designs and production runs. The obsolete ESE-11MH6T lacks documented compliance status.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences?

A: No. Both components operate identically at 5V DC with 10mA current rating, 35gf operating force, and 50,000 cycle electrical and mechanical life ratings across the -10°C to 70°C operating temperature range.
