MJTP1138GLTR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MJTP1138GLTR is an APEM Inc. tactile switch featuring SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) circuit configuration with 0.05A @ 12VDC contact rating. This surface mount component operates with 160gf actuating force and top actuated orientation, packaged in Tape & Reel format. The part maintains Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance can be maintained across alternative manufacturers while accommodating specific application constraints such as voltage requirements, actuator height, operating force, or packaging format.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MJTP1138GLTR is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Circuit configuration: SPST-NO
• Switch function: Off-Mom
• Contact rating voltage: 12VDC (primary group) or 24VDC (extended voltage group)
• Contact rating current: 0.05A
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Actuator orientation: Top Actuated
• Termination style: Gull Wing
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1

Secondary Variation Parameters (allowable differences):

• Outline dimensions: 6.00mm x 6.00mm to 6.20mm x 6.20mm
• Operating force: 160gf to 260gf
• Actuator height: 5.00mm to 9.50mm
• Packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR), Cut Tape (CT), or Tube
• Mechanical life: 100,000 to 1,000,000 cycles
• Operating temperature range variations

Substitutes are grouped into two categories: direct voltage equivalents (12VDC rated) and extended voltage alternatives (24VDC rated). All identified substitutes maintain SPST-NO circuit topology and surface mount gull wing termination required for PCB compatibility with the MJTP1138GLTR footprint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance with REACH Unaffected designation, ensuring regulatory alignment with the MJTP1138GLTR baseline.

12VDC Direct Voltage Equivalents: The Grayhill 95C06B3GWRT provides identical 12VDC contact rating and 160gf operating force matching the MJTP1138GLTR specification. This part is available in Tape & Reel packaging and supports direct footprint compatibility with 6.20mm outline dimensions. The E-Switch TL3301FF260QG maintains 12VDC rating with identical 6.00mm outline but features increased 260gf operating force and 7.00mm actuator height. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring standard 12VDC switching performance.

Extended Voltage Alternative: The TE Connectivity 1571563-8 operates at 0.05A @ 24VDC, providing higher voltage capability for applications requiring extended voltage margin. This part features reduced 100gf operating force and 5.00mm actuator height with 1,000,000 cycle mechanical life rating. Selection of this part requires circuit voltage compatibility verification at 24VDC operation.

Higher Operating Force Variants: The Grayhill 95C06B4GWT and 95C06D4GWRT both feature 260gf operating force compared to the 160gf baseline. The 95C06B4GWT is packaged in Tube format with 5.00mm actuator height, while the 95C06D4GWRT is supplied in Tape & Reel with 9.50mm actuator height. These variants are applicable when increased tactile feedback or higher actuation resistance is required.

Mechanical Life Considerations: The Grayhill 95C series parts (95C06B4GWT, 95C06D4GWRT) and E-Switch TL3301FF260QG feature reduced mechanical life ratings (500,000 and 100,000 cycles respectively) compared to the 1,000,000 cycle rating of the APEM and TE Connectivity alternatives. Application duty cycle requirements should determine selection among these options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 95C06B3GWRT directly replace the MJTP1138GLTR without PCB layout modification?

A: The 95C06B3GWRT maintains identical SPST-NO circuit configuration, 12VDC contact rating, gull wing termination, and 160gf operating force. The outline dimension difference (6.20mm vs. 6.00mm) requires verification that PCB footprint tolerances accommodate the larger body. Actuator height specifications should be confirmed for clearance compatibility in the application enclosure.

Q: What is the primary difference between the Grayhill 95C06B4GWT and 95C06D4GWRT?

A: Both parts feature identical 260gf operating force and 12VDC contact rating. The primary distinction is actuator height: the 95C06B4GWT provides 5.00mm height in Tube packaging, while the 95C06D4GWRT offers 9.50mm height in Tape & Reel packaging. Selection depends on available vertical clearance in the application and preferred packaging format for assembly operations.

Q: Is the TE Connectivity 1571563-8 suitable for 12VDC applications?

A: The 1571563-8 is rated for 0.05A @ 24VDC operation. While the switch will function at lower voltages, this part is specified for 24VDC circuits. Use at 12VDC is not recommended without circuit design verification, as contact rating specifications are established for the rated voltage.

Q: How does mechanical life rating affect part selection?

A: Mechanical life indicates the number of actuations before switch performance degradation. The APEM MJTP1138GLTR and TE Connectivity 1571563-8 are not specified for mechanical life in the provided data. The Grayhill 95C series provides 500,000 to 1,000,000 cycle ratings, while the E-Switch TL3301FF260QG is rated for 100,000 cycles. Applications requiring high-cycle operation should prioritize parts with higher mechanical life specifications.

Q: What packaging format considerations apply to substitute selection?

A: The MJTP1138GLTR is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Substitute parts are available in Tape & Reel (95C06B3GWRT, 95C06D4GWRT, TL3301FF260QG), Cut Tape (1571563-8), or Tube (95C06B4GWT) formats. Packaging selection impacts assembly line compatibility and component handling procedures. Tape & Reel format is standard for automated pick-and-place assembly operations.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: All identified substitute parts maintain ROHS3 Compliant status with REACH Unaffected designation, matching the regulatory compliance profile of the MJTP1138GLTR. This ensures compatibility with environmental and hazardous substance restriction requirements across all identified alternatives.
