EVQ-PJC05T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EVQ-PJC05T is a tactile switch manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components, classified as SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) with a contact rating of 0.05A at 12VDC. This component features top actuation, through-hole mounting, and tactile feedback with a 0.25mm switch travel distance. The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support, maintenance, and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EVQ-PJC05T is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPST-NO)
• Contact rating voltage and current (0.05A @ 12VDC or higher)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Physical dimensions (6.00mm x 4.60mm outline, 5.00mm actuator height)
• Switch travel distance (0.25mm)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Actuator orientation (Top Actuated)

Substitute parts must maintain compatibility across these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Operating force, mechanical life, and temperature range variations are acceptable within engineering tolerances provided the primary functional parameters remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

EVQ-PE605T is the primary direct substitute for the EVQ-PJC05T. Both components are manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including contact rating, operating force, mechanical life, and temperature range. EVQ-PE605T is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and higher inventory availability (9,889 pcs), making it the preferred replacement for obsolete stock management.

TL1107BF180WQ and TL1107BF260WQ from E-Switch are functionally compatible substitutes with equivalent circuit configuration, contact rating, and physical dimensions. Both are ROHS3 compliant and active products. TL1107BF180WQ operates at 180gf force, while TL1107BF260WQ operates at 260gf force. Operating temperature range for both E-Switch variants is -20°C ~ 70°C, which is narrower than the original specification. Selection between these variants depends on application-specific force requirements.

FSMH from TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches is a compatible substitute with identical physical dimensions and switch travel. However, it operates at 0.05A @ 24VDC (higher voltage rating) and 130gf operating force (lower than original 240gf). FSMH offers extended mechanical life (100,000 cycles) and broader temperature range (-35°C ~ 85°C). This part is suitable for applications where higher voltage tolerance and extended cycle life are beneficial.

All substitute parts maintain SPST-NO circuit configuration, through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, and 0.25mm switch travel, ensuring PCB-level compatibility with the original design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EVQ-PE605T directly replace EVQ-PJC05T without circuit modification?

A: Yes. EVQ-PE605T is a direct equivalent with identical electrical specifications (0.05A @ 12VDC), mechanical life (30,000 cycles), operating force (240gf), and physical dimensions (6.00mm x 4.60mm, 5.00mm height). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between TL1107BF180WQ and TL1107BF260WQ?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent SPST-NO switches with identical contact rating, dimensions, and switch travel. The primary difference is operating force: TL1107BF180WQ requires 180gf actuation force, while TL1107BF260WQ requires 260gf. Select based on desired tactile feedback and application requirements.

Q: Is FSMH suitable for 12VDC applications?

A: Yes. FSMH is rated for 0.05A @ 24VDC, which exceeds the 12VDC requirement of the original EVQ-PJC05T. The higher voltage rating provides compatibility with 12VDC circuits. However, FSMH operates at 130gf force compared to the original 240gf, which may affect tactile feedback characteristics.

Q: What are the temperature range limitations for substitute parts?

A: EVQ-PE605T matches the original -30°C ~ 85°C range. TL1107BF180WQ and TL1107BF260WQ operate within -20°C ~ 70°C, which is narrower. FSMH operates within -35°C ~ 85°C, which is broader. Application temperature requirements should guide selection.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. EVQ-PE605T, FSMH, TL1107BF180WQ, and TL1107BF260WQ are all ROHS3 compliant. The original EVQ-PJC05T compliance status is not specified.

Q: Which substitute offers the longest mechanical life?

A: FSMH offers 100,000 cycles, compared to 30,000 cycles for EVQ-PJC05T, EVQ-PE605T, and TL1107BF260WQ, and 40,000 cycles for TL1107BF180WQ. FSMH is suitable for high-cycle applications.

Q: Can these switches be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes, provided the application tolerates variations in operating force and temperature range. All substitute parts share identical outline dimensions (6.00mm x 4.60mm), actuator height (5.00mm), switch travel (0.25mm), and PC pin termination, ensuring mechanical and electrical PCB compatibility.
