Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EVP-AKB11A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: SPST-NO topology must be maintained
• Contact Rating: 0.02A @ 15VDC electrical specification
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle configuration
• Actuator Geometry: Rectangular button, side actuated orientation
• Physical Dimensions: 3.90mm x 2.05mm outline with 2.90mm actuator length
• Switch Travel: 0.12mm actuation distance
• Operating Force: 160gf activation force
• Ingress Protection: IP67 rating for dust and water resistance
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C range
• Termination: SMD (SMT) Tab connection style

The EVP-AKE31A qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical alignment across all these parameters. The substitute part maintains the same base product number (EVP-AK) within the EVPAK series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EVP-AKE31A is the direct substitute for the obsolete EVP-AKB11A. Both components are manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components within the EVPAK series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The EVP-AKE31A offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The substitute part demonstrates enhanced mechanical life rating of 500,000 cycles compared to the original 200,000 cycles, providing extended operational durability.

Both parts comply with RoHS3 and REACH standards where applicable. The EVP-AKE31A is available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EVP-AKE31A be used as a direct replacement for the EVP-AKB11A in existing designs?

A: Yes. The EVP-AKE31A maintains identical electrical ratings (0.02A @ 15VDC), mechanical specifications (160gf operating force, 0.12mm travel), physical dimensions (3.90mm x 2.05mm outline), and mounting configuration (surface mount, right angle). Both components feature SPST-NO circuit topology with side actuation and IP67 ingress protection.

Q: What is the difference in mechanical life between these parts?

A: The EVP-AKB11A is rated for 200,000 cycles, while the EVP-AKE31A is rated for 500,000 cycles. This represents an extended operational life in the substitute component.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The EVP-AKB11A packaging specification is not detailed in the available data. The EVP-AKE31A is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated surface mount assembly.

Q: What is the product status difference?

A: The EVP-AKB11A is listed as obsolete, indicating discontinued production. The EVP-AKE31A maintains active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support and supply availability.

Q: Are both parts compliant with environmental standards?

A: Both components are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level). The EVP-AKE31A carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status certifications.
