Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TL3240F100Y is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Circuit configuration (SPST-NO), switch function (Off-Mom momentary operation), contact rating (0.05A @ 12VDC), mounting type (Surface Mount), actuator type (Plunger for Cap), actuator height (7.80mm vertical), actuator orientation (Top Actuated), outline dimensions (6.10mm x 6.10mm), illumination type (LED, Yellow), illumination voltage (2 VDC), operating force (100gf), operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 70°C), switch travel (0.20mm), mechanical life (200,000 Cycles), and termination style (Gull Wing).

Packaging format differences (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel) do not affect functional or mechanical compatibility and are considered acceptable substitution variables. Differences in product status, inventory availability, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) are supply-chain considerations and do not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TL3240F100YT is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete TL3240F100Y. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters, including circuit configuration, contact rating, actuator specifications, and illumination characteristics.

The primary distinction is product status: TL3240F100Y is classified as Obsolete, while TL3240F100YT maintains Active status. This transition ensures continued availability and supply chain support for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for electronic component applications. The TL3240F100YT offers improved moisture sensitivity performance (MSL 1 vs. MSL 2), providing extended shelf life and storage flexibility.

Packaging format differs between the two parts (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel), which affects handling and assembly processes but does not impact functional performance or PCB compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are TL3240F100Y and TL3240F100YT electrically equivalent?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, including SPST-NO circuit configuration, 0.05A @ 12VDC contact rating, momentary switch function, and 2 VDC LED illumination voltage.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Cut Tape (CT) packaging provides individual component strips suitable for manual assembly or small-volume applications. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous reels optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Both formats contain identical components; packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: Can TL3240F100YT be used as a direct replacement for TL3240F100Y on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. The TL3240F100YT is mechanically and electrically compatible with the TL3240F100Y. Identical outline dimensions (6.10mm x 6.10mm), gull wing termination, and surface mount configuration ensure direct PCB compatibility without design modification.

Q: Why is TL3240F100Y classified as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production of this specific part number. The TL3240F100YT (Active status) serves as the current production equivalent, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Does the difference in Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) affect component performance?

A: MSL differences do not affect electrical or mechanical performance during normal operation. MSL 1 (TL3240F100YT) provides extended shelf life and greater storage flexibility compared to MSL 2 (TL3240F100Y), reducing risk of moisture-induced degradation during inventory management.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both TL3240F100Y and TL3240F100YT are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, satisfying regulatory requirements for electronic component applications in regulated markets.
