EVQ-PJU04K Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EVQ-PJU04K is a tactile switch manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components, configured as a SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) momentary contact switch rated for 0.05A at 12VDC. This surface mount component features top actuation with a 4.30mm actuator height and 0.25mm switch travel, delivering 240gf operating force with tactile feedback across 30,000 mechanical cycles.

The EVQ-PJU04K is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure component availability, and support ongoing production or repair requirements for systems utilizing this switch configuration.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EVQ-PJU04K is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Circuit Configuration & Function: SPST-NO momentary contact operation
  • Electrical Rating: 0.05A @ 12VDC contact rating
  • Mechanical Specifications: 4.30mm actuator height, 0.25mm switch travel, 240gf operating force, 30,000 cycle mechanical life
  • Physical Form Factor: 6.00mm x 4.60mm outline, top actuated, surface mount with J Lead termination
  • Environmental Compliance: Operating temperature range -30°C ~ 85°C, MSL 1 rating

The EVQ-5PN04K meets all substitution criteria as a direct functional equivalent. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, mechanical characteristics, and physical dimensions. The primary distinction is product status and packaging format.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EVQ-5PN04K be used as a direct replacement for the EVQ-PJU04K?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The EVQ-5PN04K provides the same SPST-NO circuit configuration, 0.05A @ 12VDC contact rating, 4.30mm actuator height, 240gf operating force, and 30,000 cycle mechanical life. The primary difference is product status (active vs. obsolete) and packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. standard).

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in circuit configuration (SPST-NO), electrical rating (0.05A @ 12VDC), mechanical specifications (actuator height, switch travel, operating force, cycle life), physical dimensions (6.00mm x 4.60mm), and environmental operating range (-30°C ~ 85°C).

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging of the EVQ-5PN04K affect compatibility?

A: No. Tape & Reel packaging is a distribution format that does not affect component performance or PCB-level compatibility. The component itself maintains identical form factor, termination style (J Lead), and mounting characteristics.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: The EVQ-5PN04K carries ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected certifications. The EVQ-PJU04K specifications do not document these certifications. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9031) classifications.

Q: What is the inventory status for the substitute part?

A: The EVQ-5PN04K is actively stocked with 9519 Pcs available as new original inventory, ensuring reliable supply for production and replacement applications.
