SWT6-V7K Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SWT6-V7K is a tactile switch manufactured by TT Electronics/BI, classified as SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) with a contact rating of 0.05A at 12VDC. This through-hole mounted switch features top actuation with a 6.00mm x 6.00mm outline and 9.50mm actuator height. The product is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain functional compatibility for new designs and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SWT6-V7K is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration & Function: All substitutes must maintain SPST-NO circuit topology with Off-Mom (momentary) switching function
• Electrical Rating: Contact rating of 0.05A @ 12VDC is mandatory for all alternatives
• Mechanical Interface: Through-hole mounting with PC pin termination and top actuation are required
• Environmental Compliance: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) and REACH Unaffected status ensure compatibility with existing supply chain requirements
• Regulatory Classification: ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.50.9031 classification consistency

The three identified substitutes (TL1105BF160Q, TL6100CF130QP, TL6100DF130QP) satisfy all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in actuator height, operating force, switch travel, and mechanical life cycles represent design trade-offs within acceptable substitution boundaries.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TL1105BF160Q is the primary substitute for direct form-factor replacement. This part maintains identical actuator height (9.50mm) and outline dimensions (6.00mm x 6.00mm) to the SWT6-V7K, ensuring PCB layout compatibility without redesign. The part is Active status with ROHS3 compliance and substantial inventory availability (10,041 units). The increased operating force (160gf vs. 100gf) and reduced mechanical life (100,000 vs. 500,000 cycles) represent design trade-offs that must be evaluated against application requirements.

TL6100CF130QP and TL6100DF130QP are alternative substitutes from the TL6100 series, both offering superior mechanical life (1,000,000 cycles) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). These parts feature process-sealed construction and ROHS3 compliance. TL6100CF130QP has a reduced actuator height (6.90mm), while TL6100DF130QP maintains 10.00mm height. Both require PCB layout evaluation due to increased outline dimensions (7.20mm x 7.20mm). These options are suitable for applications requiring enhanced durability and environmental performance.

All three substitutes maintain Active product status, ensuring long-term supply chain continuity and manufacturing support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TL1105BF160Q be used as a direct replacement without PCB modification?

A: Yes. The TL1105BF160Q maintains identical actuator height (9.50mm) and outline dimensions (6.00mm x 6.00mm) to the SWT6-V7K, enabling direct substitution on existing PCB layouts. All electrical and mechanical interface parameters are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the increased operating force in TL1105BF160Q (160gf vs. 100gf)?

A: Operating force determines the tactile feedback and actuation pressure required. The TL1105BF160Q requires 60% greater force to actuate. Applications with sensitive user interfaces or requiring minimal actuation force should evaluate this parameter against functional requirements.

Q: Why do TL6100CF130QP and TL6100DF130QP have larger outline dimensions?

A: The TL6100 series features process-sealed construction and enhanced mechanical life (1,000,000 cycles vs. 500,000 cycles), resulting in a larger footprint (7.20mm x 7.20mm vs. 6.00mm x 6.00mm). These parts are suitable for applications requiring extended operational life and environmental protection, provided PCB layout accommodates the increased dimensions.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: The three E-Switch substitutes (TL1105BF160Q, TL6100CF130QP, TL6100DF130QP) are ROHS3 compliant. The original SWT6-V7K RoHS status is not specified in available documentation.

Q: What is the difference between TL6100CF130QP and TL6100DF130QP?

A: Both parts are from the TL6100 series with identical electrical ratings, mechanical life (1,000,000 cycles), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). The primary difference is actuator height: TL6100CF130QP is 6.90mm, while TL6100DF130QP is 10.00mm. Selection depends on PCB clearance and user interface design requirements.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: TL1105BF160Q is supplied in Bulk packaging. TL6100CF130QP and TL6100DF130QP are supplied in Tube packaging. Packaging selection affects handling, storage, and integration into production workflows.

Q: Are all substitutes REACH compliant?

A: Yes. All three substitutes maintain REACH Unaffected status, consistent with the original SWT6-V7K, ensuring regulatory compliance across supply chain requirements.
