Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ESE-22MH12 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 (SMD/SMT Tab)
• Operating force (30gf)
• Operating position (0.091" / 2.3mm)
• Operating temperature range (-10°C to 70°C)
• Electrical and mechanical life (50,000 cycles each)
• Board guide feature

The ESE-22MH22 meets all these criteria and belongs to the same ESE22 series, making it a direct functional equivalent despite differences in product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ESE-22MH22 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete ESE-22MH12. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all functional parameters. The ESE-22MH22 is currently in active production status with 4362 units in stock, compared to the ESE-22MH12's obsolete classification.

The ESE-22MH22 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing regulatory alignment for modern manufacturing environments. The primary difference is packaging configuration: the ESE-22MH22 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, which is standard for high-volume surface mount assembly operations.

Selection of the ESE-22MH22 is appropriate for all applications previously using the ESE-22MH12, with no functional or performance trade-offs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ESE-22MH22 directly replace the ESE-22MH12 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The ESE-22MH22 is functionally identical to the ESE-22MH12 across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Both components operate at 5V DC with 10mA current rating, feature identical actuator geometry, mounting configuration, and operating characteristics. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the ESE-22MH12 and ESE-22MH22?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. The ESE-22MH12 is obsolete, while the ESE-22MH22 is active production. The ESE-22MH22 is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, standard for automated assembly, whereas the ESE-22MH12 was supplied in standard packaging. All functional specifications are identical.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging of the ESE-22MH22 affect component performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel packaging is a supply format that does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. The component itself remains unchanged. This packaging format is optimized for automated surface mount assembly processes.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The ESE-22MH22 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification. These certifications confirm regulatory compliance for modern manufacturing and environmental standards. The ESE-22MH12, being obsolete, does not have current compliance documentation.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The ESE-22MH12 is obsolete with no current production. The ESE-22MH22 is in active production with 4362 units currently in stock, ensuring reliable supply for ongoing applications.
