Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EVQ-QXN01W is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Circuit configuration must remain SPST-NO
• Contact rating must match or exceed 0.02A @ 15VDC
• Switch function must be Off-Mom (momentary operation)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Mounting type must be Surface Mount
• Actuator height must be 2.00mm (vertical)
• Actuator orientation must be Top Actuated
• Operating force must be 160gf
• Switch travel must be 0.25mm
• Termination style must be J Lead
• Grounding pin feature must be present

Environmental & Lifecycle:

• Mechanical life must meet or exceed 1,000,000 cycles
• Operating temperature range must accommodate the application requirements

The EVQ-Q2S01W meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an active product with enhanced environmental specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EVQ-Q2S01W is the direct substitute for the obsolete EVQ-QXN01W. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters that determine functional equivalence.

Advantages of EVQ-Q2S01W:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain support
• Extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C vs. -20°C ~ 70°C) provides broader environmental compatibility
• RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status confirm regulatory alignment with current standards
• Tape & Reel packaging supports automated assembly processes

Design Considerations: The outline dimensions differ slightly (6.50mm x 6.00mm vs. 6.20mm x 6.20mm). PCB layout verification is required to confirm footprint compatibility within the available space constraints of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EVQ-Q2S01W be used as a direct replacement for EVQ-QXN01W?

A: Yes. Both components are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all functional parameters: SPST-NO circuit, 0.02A @ 15VDC contact rating, 2.00mm actuator height, 160gf operating force, 0.25mm switch travel, and 1,000,000 cycle mechanical life. PCB layout must accommodate the slight outline dimension difference (6.50mm x 6.00mm vs. 6.20mm x 6.20mm).

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The EVQ-Q2S01W is an active product with an extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) compared to the obsolete EVQ-QXN01W (-20°C ~ 70°C). The substitute also includes RoHS3 compliance certification and is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging for automated assembly.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with the packaging format?

A: The EVQ-QXN01W is supplied in bulk packaging, while the EVQ-Q2S01W is supplied in Tape & Reel format. This difference affects handling and assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated surface mount assembly.

Q: Do the outline dimension differences affect PCB design?

A: The EVQ-Q2S01W has slightly larger dimensions (6.50mm x 6.00mm vs. 6.20mm x 6.20mm). Verify that the PCB footprint and surrounding component placement accommodate these dimensions before finalizing the design change.

Q: Is the EVQ-Q2S01W suitable for applications requiring the full -20°C ~ 70°C temperature range of the original part?

A: Yes. The EVQ-Q2S01W operating range of -40°C ~ 85°C fully encompasses the -20°C ~ 70°C specification of the EVQ-QXN01W, ensuring compatibility with all original application requirements.
