EVQ-PC005K Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Panasonic EVQ-PC005K is a tactile switch with SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) circuit configuration, rated for 0.02A at 15VDC. This component features side actuation with right-angle mounting through PC pins, designed for applications requiring momentary contact switching. The EVQ-PC005K is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain functional compatibility across circuit topology, mounting configuration, and electrical ratings within acceptable operating parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EVQ-PC005K is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Circuit configuration: SPST-NO topology required
• Switch function: Off-Mom (momentary contact) operation
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle configuration
• Actuator orientation: Side Actuated
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Switch travel: 0.25mm
• Mechanical life: 100,000 Cycles minimum

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Operating temperature range: -20°C ~ 70°C
• Contact rating voltage: 12VDC or higher (EVQ-PC005K rated 15VDC)
• Contact rating current: 0.05A or higher (EVQ-PC005K rated 0.02A)
• Outline dimensions: Within acceptable PCB layout tolerances
• Actuator length: Matching or compatible with 4.75mm right-angle configuration

All three substitute parts (TL1105VF160Q94V0, TL58VF100Q, TL58XF160Q) satisfy the primary compatibility criteria and maintain functional equivalence with the EVQ-PC005K across circuit topology, mounting configuration, and electrical performance envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TL58XF160Q is the primary substitute for EVQ-PC005K applications. This part maintains exact actuator length matching (4.75mm), identical switch travel (0.25mm), and equivalent mechanical life (100,000 cycles). The TL58XF160Q operates within the same temperature range (-20°C ~ 70°C) and provides higher contact current rating (0.05A vs. 0.02A), ensuring margin above the original specification. ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating provide equivalent environmental protection to the original component. Cut Tape packaging aligns with the original EVQ-PC005K distribution format.

TL58VF100Q serves as an alternative substitute when operating force requirements match the original 100gf specification. This part shares identical actuator length (3.85mm differs from original 4.75mm) and outline dimensions with TL1105VF160Q94V0, but maintains the 100gf operating force of the EVQ-PC005K. Cut Tape packaging and active product status support production continuity.

TL1105VF160Q94V0 is suitable for applications where higher operating force (160gf) is acceptable and actuator length reduction (3.85mm vs. 4.75mm) does not conflict with mechanical constraints. This part provides the highest current rating (0.05A) and active product status. Bulk packaging may require reeling for automated assembly processes.

All three substitutes maintain SPST-NO circuit topology, side actuation, through-hole right-angle mounting, and PC pin termination. All operate within -20°C ~ 70°C temperature range with MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating. Contact rating voltage (12VDC) exceeds the original 15VDC specification, providing adequate margin for circuit protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TL58XF160Q directly replace EVQ-PC005K without PCB modification?

A: Yes. TL58XF160Q maintains identical actuator length (4.75mm), switch travel (0.25mm), and through-hole right-angle PC pin termination. Outline dimensions (7.40mm x 6.65mm vs. 7.50mm x 6.95mm) represent minor variations within standard PCB layout tolerances for through-hole components.

Q: What is the impact of higher operating force (160gf) in substitute parts?

A: TL1105VF160Q94V0 and TL58XF160Q specify 160gf operating force versus the original 100gf. This increases actuation pressure but does not affect electrical performance or circuit compatibility. Application suitability depends on user interface ergonomic requirements and mechanical design constraints.

Q: Are the substitute parts compatible with the original 15VDC circuit rating?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are rated for 0.05A @ 12VDC, which exceeds the original 0.02A @ 15VDC specification in both current capacity and voltage margin. These parts operate safely within circuits designed for the EVQ-PC005K.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these substitutes?

A: EVQ-PC005K and TL58VF100Q and TL58XF160Q are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format, suitable for pick-and-place assembly. TL1105VF160Q94V0 is supplied in Bulk packaging, requiring reeling or manual handling for automated processes.

Q: Do all substitutes maintain the same mechanical life specification?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts specify 100,000 mechanical cycles, matching the original EVQ-PC005K. Operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 70°C) and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) are identical across all parts.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance on substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance, which supersedes the original RoHS Compliant designation. ROHS3 represents current regulatory requirements and ensures compatibility with modern supply chain and environmental standards.

Q: How do outline dimension differences affect PCB layout?

A: TL1105VF160Q94V0 and TL58VF100Q specify 7.10mm x 6.55mm and 7.40mm x 6.65mm respectively, versus the original 7.50mm x 6.95mm. These variations are within standard through-hole component tolerances and do not require PCB redesign for typical applications. Verify clearance in space-constrained layouts.
