MJTP1162 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MJTP1162 is an SPST-NO tactile switch manufactured by APEM Inc., rated for 0.05A at 12VDC with a 2.60mm actuator height and 160gf operating force. This surface mount component features gull wing termination, polyamide actuator material, and is designed for applications requiring tactile feedback with a 0.25mm switch travel. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching circuit topology (SPST-NO), mounting type (surface mount), termination style (gull wing), and compatible electrical ratings. Substitutes may vary in contact rating, actuator height, operating force, and mechanical life to accommodate different application requirements while maintaining functional compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Identical Electrical Specifications):

FSM1JELGTR and FSM1JELGETR are the primary substitutes for MJTP1162. Both maintain identical contact rating (0.05A @ 12VDC), matching outline dimensions (6.20mm x 6.20mm), and equivalent operating force (160gf). These parts offer 10x extended mechanical life (1,000,000 cycles versus 100,000 cycles) while maintaining ROHS3 compliance and Active product status. FSM1JELGTR has higher inventory availability (20,649 pcs) compared to FSM1JELGETR (2,753 pcs).

For Enhanced Environmental Performance:

The Bourns 7914G series (7914G-1-000, 7914G-1-000E, 7914G-1-024E, 7914G-1-032E) provides IP67 ingress protection and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). These parts accept higher contact ratings (0.1A @ 16VAC/DC) and increased operating force (300gf). Dimensional differences include reduced outline (5.00mm x 5.00mm) and variable actuator heights. Selection within this series depends on specific actuator height requirements: 7914G-1-024E for flush actuator (2.62mm), 7914G-1-032E for standard actuator (3.43mm), or 7914G-1-000/7914G-1-000E for taller actuator (4.19mm).

For Reduced Operating Force Applications:

FSM2JELGXLTR provides the lowest operating force (50gf) while maintaining identical electrical specifications and outline dimensions. FSM2JELGLTR offers intermediate operating force (100gf). Both retain 1,000,000 cycle mechanical life and RoHS compliance.

All substitute parts maintain SPST-NO circuit topology, surface mount configuration, gull wing termination, and top actuated orientation. All are Active status products with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FSM1JELGTR directly replace MJTP1162 without PCB layout modifications?

A: Yes. FSM1JELGTR maintains identical outline dimensions (6.20mm x 6.20mm), gull wing termination, and contact rating (0.05A @ 12VDC). Actuator height differs slightly (2.00mm versus 2.60mm), which may affect tactile feel but does not prevent electrical or mechanical substitution on standard PCB layouts.

Q: What is the primary advantage of TE Connectivity FSM series over MJTP1162?

A: Extended mechanical life. FSM series components are rated for 1,000,000 cycles compared to 100,000 cycles for MJTP1162, providing 10x longer operational life in high-cycle applications while maintaining identical electrical specifications.

Q: When should Bourns 7914G series be selected instead of TE Connectivity FSM series?

A: Select 7914G series when applications require IP67 ingress protection (dust tight, waterproof), extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), or higher contact rating capacity (0.1A @ 16VAC/DC). The 7914G series is suitable for harsh environmental conditions. Note that 7914G parts have reduced outline dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm) and higher operating force (300gf).

Q: Are there packaging differences between substitute parts?

A: Yes. MJTP1162 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Bourns 7914G series offers Tube (7914G-1-000), Cut Tape & Digi-Reel (7914G-1-000E, 7914G-1-032E), or Tape & Reel (7914G-1-024E) options. TE Connectivity FSM series is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging. Packaging selection affects inventory management and assembly processes but does not affect component functionality.

Q: What is the impact of different operating force ratings on substitution?

A: Operating force affects tactile feedback and actuation effort. MJTP1162 and FSM1JELGTR both specify 160gf. Bourns 7914G series specifies 300gf (higher actuation effort). FSM2JELGLTR specifies 100gf, and FSM2JELGXLTR specifies 50gf (lower actuation effort). Selection depends on user interface requirements and ergonomic considerations for the target application.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: MJTP1162, 7914G series, and FSM1JELGTR are ROHS3 compliant. FSM1JELGETR, FSM2JELGLTR, and FSM2JELGXLTR are RoHS compliant. Both certifications meet regulatory requirements; ROHS3 represents the current standard revision.
