ESE-22MH8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Panasonic ESE-22MH8 is a surface mount SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) switch detector rated for 10mA DC at 5V. This component features an angled toggle actuator with SMD tab termination and is designed for applications requiring momentary contact switching with board guide integration.

The ESE-22MH8 is classified as obsolete. Locating active production alternatives is necessary to ensure supply chain continuity and access to current manufacturing support, compliance documentation, and inventory availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ESE-22MH8 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPST-NO)
• Switch function (Off-Mom momentary operation)
• Current and voltage ratings (10mA DC, 5V DC)
• Actuator type (Angled Toggle Detector)
• Mounting configuration (Surface Mount, Right Angle)
• Termination style (SMD Tab)
• Operating position (0.091" / 2.3mm)
• Operating temperature range (-10°C to 70°C)
• Electrical and mechanical life (50,000 cycles each)
• Base series designation (ESE-22)

The ESE-22MH28T meets all these criteria and is classified as an active production part within the same ESE-22 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ESE-22MH28T is the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete ESE-22MH8. Both components share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and operational characteristics within the ESE-22 series.

The ESE-22MH28T offers the additional advantage of active production status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support. The part is certified RoHS Compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

For new designs or production transitions, the ESE-22MH28T is the appropriate selection. For existing assemblies using the ESE-22MH8, the ESE-22MH28T provides direct substitution without circuit redesign or PCB layout modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
