ESE-18RJ01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ESE-18RJ01 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 angled toggle actuator with J Lead termination. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing production and design continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ESE-18RJ01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPST-NO)
• Switch function (Off-Mom momentary operation)
• Current rating (10mA DC)
• Voltage rating (5V DC)
• Actuator type (Angled Toggle Detector)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount, Right Angle)
• Termination style (J Lead)
• Operating force (30gf)
• Operating position (0.102" / 2.6mm)
• Operating temperature range (-10°C to 60°C)
• Electrical and mechanical life (50,000 cycles each)

The ESE-18R11A qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the ESE18 series. The primary distinction is product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ESE-18R11A is the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete ESE-18RJ01. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring pin-compatible and functionally equivalent operation in SPST-NO momentary switch applications at 5V DC with 10mA current ratings.

The ESE-18R11A carries active product status from Panasonic Electronic Components, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The substitute part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Packaging differs between the two parts: ESE-18RJ01 uses standard packaging, while ESE-18R11A is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance and is a standard industry practice for active production components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ESE-18R11A be used as a direct replacement for ESE-18RJ01?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters, including circuit configuration, voltage and current ratings, actuator type, mounting configuration, and operating characteristics. The ESE-18R11A is the active equivalent to the obsolete ESE-18RJ01.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. ESE-18RJ01 is obsolete with standard packaging, while ESE-18R11A is an active product supplied in Tape & Reel format. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging affect component performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel packaging is a standard supply format for surface mount components and does not alter electrical or mechanical performance. The component itself remains functionally identical.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: ESE-18R11A is certified ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Compliance information for ESE-18RJ01 was not provided in the specification data. For applications requiring specific regulatory compliance, ESE-18R11A meets current environmental and safety standards.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution in this product category?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in circuit configuration (SPST-NO), switch function (Off-Mom), current and voltage ratings (10mA DC / 5V DC), actuator type (Angled Toggle Detector), mounting type (Surface Mount Right Angle), termination style (J Lead), operating force (30gf), operating position (0.102" / 2.6mm), temperature range (-10°C to 60°C), and cycle life ratings (50,000 cycles electrical and mechanical).
