EVU-E2JFK4B14 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EVU-E2JFK4B14 is a 10k Ohm 1/20W linear panel mount potentiometer manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. This component features a flatted actuator, M9 x 0.75 bushing thread, and PC pin termination with board locks suitable for panel-mounted applications. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this specification remains applicable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete EVU-E2JFK4B14 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 10k Ohm
• Power rating: 0.05W (1/20W)
• Taper characteristic: Linear
• Single gang, single turn configuration
• 300° rotation specification
• Panel mount with M9 x 0.75 bushing thread
• PC pin termination with board locks
• Flatted actuator with 6.00mm diameter
• ±20% tolerance

The PTV111-1420A-B103 from Bourns Inc. meets all these electrical and mechanical requirements, establishing it as a direct functional equivalent for applications requiring the EVU-E2JFK4B14 specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PTV111-1420A-B103 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete EVU-E2JFK4B14. Both components share identical electrical specifications (10k Ohm, 0.05W, ±20% tolerance, linear taper) and mechanical characteristics (panel mount, M9 x 0.75 bushing, PC pin termination with board locks, flatted 6.00mm actuator, 300° rotation).

The Bourns component carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The PTV111-1420A-B103 is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. Packaging is supplied in tray format.

Physical dimensions show minor variation: the Bourns body measures 0.528" x 0.472" (13.40mm x 12.00mm) compared to the Panasonic 0.492" x 0.382" (12.50mm x 9.70mm). Actuator length differs at 0.787" (20.00mm) versus 0.689" (17.50mm). These dimensional differences do not affect functional substitution in panel mount applications where the M9 x 0.75 bushing thread and mounting interface remain constant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PTV111-1420A-B103 directly replace the EVU-E2JFK4B14 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the critical parameters: 10k Ohm resistance, 0.05W power rating, linear taper, single gang/single turn, 300° rotation, M9 x 0.75 panel mount bushing, PC pin termination with board locks, and flatted 6.00mm actuator. The substitution is functionally direct.

Q: What are the physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: The Bourns PTV111-1420A-B103 body is slightly larger (0.528" x 0.472" versus 0.492" x 0.382") and the actuator length is longer (0.787" versus 0.689"). These differences do not affect panel mount compatibility, as the M9 x 0.75 bushing thread and mounting interface are identical.

Q: Why is the Panasonic EVU-E2JFK4B14 obsolete?

A: The EVU-E2JFK4B14 has reached end-of-life status. The Bourns PTV111-1420A-B103 provides equivalent functionality with active product status and current regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences?

A: The Bourns PTV111-1420A-B103 is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both components carry EAR99 ECCN classification. The Panasonic component has MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited); the Bourns component lists MSL as Not Applicable.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The EVU-E2JFK4B14 is supplied in standard packaging. The PTV111-1420A-B103 is supplied in tray format.
