Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The EVQ-Q2K03W qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: Both are SPST-NO momentary contact switches
• Contact rating: Both rated 0.02A @ 15VDC
• Mounting type: Both surface mount with J Lead termination
• Actuator specifications: Both feature 3.10mm vertical height, top actuated orientation, 130gf operating force, and 0.25mm switch travel
• Mechanical life: Both rated for 1,000,000 cycles
• Manufacturer: Both manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components

The EVQ-Q2K03W differs in product status (Active vs. Obsolete), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C vs. -20°C ~ 70°C), outline dimensions (6.50mm x 6.00mm vs. 6.20mm x 6.20mm), and packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. standard packaging). These differences do not prevent functional substitution when the wider temperature range and availability of the substitute are acceptable for the application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EVQ-Q2K03W is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete EVQ-QXP03W. The substitute maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility across all critical functional parameters. The EVQ-Q2K03W offers the advantage of active product status with current manufacturing support and significantly higher inventory availability (166,955 pcs vs. 1,076 pcs).

The wider operating temperature range of the EVQ-Q2K03W (-40°C ~ 85°C) provides enhanced environmental capability compared to the original part (-20°C ~ 70°C). The outline dimension variance (6.50mm x 6.00mm vs. 6.20mm x 6.20mm) requires PCB layout verification to confirm footprint compatibility. Both parts maintain identical MSL rating and export classification, ensuring no compliance complications in substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EVQ-Q2K03W be used as a direct replacement for the EVQ-QXP03W?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (0.02A @ 15VDC), circuit configuration (SPST-NO), actuator specifications (3.10mm height, 130gf operating force, 0.25mm travel), and mechanical life (1,000,000 cycles). PCB layout must accommodate the outline dimension difference (6.50mm x 6.00mm vs. 6.20mm x 6.20mm).

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The EVQ-Q2K03W has an active product status with current manufacturing support, operates across a wider temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C vs. -20°C ~ 70°C), and is available in Tape & Reel packaging. The outline dimensions differ slightly. All functional electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification concerns with this substitution?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99), HTSUS code (8536.50.9031), and MSL rating (1 - Unlimited). The EVQ-Q2K03W includes RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, providing additional regulatory alignment.

Q: What should be verified before implementing this substitute?

A: Confirm that the PCB footprint accommodates the EVQ-Q2K03W outline dimensions (6.50mm x 6.00mm). Verify that the application operating temperature range falls within -40°C ~ 85°C. Confirm that Tape & Reel packaging is acceptable for your procurement and assembly process.

Q: Is the EVQ-Q2K03W available in alternative packaging formats?

A: The provided data specifies Tape & Reel (TR) packaging for the EVQ-Q2K03W. Contact the manufacturer or authorized distributor for alternative packaging availability if required.
