• Switch function: Off-Mom (Momentary)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Actuator type: Rectangular Button
• Actuator orientation: Side Actuated
• Termination style: Gull Wing
• Outline dimensions: 4.70mm x 2.90mm
• Operating force: 220gf
• Switch travel: 0.20mm
• Mechanical life: 100,000 Cycles
• Operating temperature range: -20°C ~ 70°C
• Moisture sensitivity level: MSL 1

The EVQ-P7C01P is identified as a direct substitute, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing only in packaging format and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EVQ-P7C01P is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete EVQ-P7C01K. Both parts are manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components within the EVQP7 series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The primary distinction between the two parts is product status: the EVQ-P7C01K is obsolete, while the EVQ-P7C01P is active and currently in production. The EVQ-P7C01P is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, whereas the EVQ-P7C01K was supplied in bulk packaging. The EVQ-P7C01P carries ROHS3 compliance certification, providing additional regulatory alignment for new designs and procurement.

For applications requiring the EVQ-P7C01K, the EVQ-P7C01P provides full functional and mechanical compatibility with no design modifications required. Component selection should prioritize the EVQ-P7C01P due to its active production status and availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EVQ-P7C01P directly replace the EVQ-P7C01K in existing designs?

A: Yes. The EVQ-P7C01P maintains identical electrical specifications (SPST-NO, 0.05A @ 12VDC, Off-Mom function), mechanical specifications (4.70mm x 2.90mm outline, 220gf operating force, 0.20mm switch travel), and mounting configuration (Surface Mount, Right Angle, Gull Wing termination). No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these two parts?

A: The EVQ-P7C01K was supplied in bulk packaging, while the EVQ-P7C01P is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated assembly processes and provides improved component protection during storage and handling.

Q: Why is the EVQ-P7C01K listed as obsolete?

A: The EVQ-P7C01K has been discontinued by Panasonic Electronic Components. The EVQ-P7C01P remains in active production and serves as the current equivalent part for this switch specification.

Q: Does the EVQ-P7C01P have different compliance certifications?

A: The EVQ-P7C01P is ROHS3 compliant. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9031) classifications.

Q: Are there any differences in mechanical life or operating temperature range?

A: No. Both parts specify 100,000 cycles mechanical life and an operating temperature range of -20°C to 70°C. Moisture sensitivity level is MSL 1 (Unlimited) for both parts.
