TL3301BF100QJ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TL3301BF100QJ is an active SPST-NO tactile switch manufactured by E-Switch, rated for 0.05A at 12VDC with an off-momentary switch function. This surface mount component features a 9.50mm actuator height, 100gf operating force, and 100,000 cycle mechanical life. The part is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating and is currently in active production status with 749 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility can be maintained across the same circuit topology and contact rating specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TL3301BF100QJ is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Circuit configuration must be SPST-NO
• Contact rating must be 0.05A @ 12VDC
• Switch function must be Off-Mom
• Mounting type must be Surface Mount
• Termination style must be J Lead
• RoHS3 compliance required
• MSL 1 rating required
• Product status must be Active

The identified substitute parts (95CW06C3JT and 95CW06E5JT) satisfy all mandatory electrical and compliance requirements. Both are manufactured by Grayhill Inc., operate within the specified contact rating, and maintain SPST-NO circuit topology with J Lead termination on surface mount packages.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and full ROHS3 compliance with MSL 1 ratings. The TL3301BF100QJ and both Grayhill substitutes are electrically equivalent at the 0.05A @ 12VDC contact rating and SPST-NO circuit level.

Selection between the main part and substitutes depends on mechanical parameter tolerance in the application. The TL3301BF100QJ provides the lowest operating force (100gf) and shortest actuator height (9.50mm). The 95CW06C3JT offers the lowest substitute actuator height (4.60mm) with moderate operating force (260gf). The 95CW06E5JT provides mid-range actuator height (5.20mm) with higher operating force (360gf). Both Grayhill parts offer extended mechanical life (500,000 cycles versus 100,000 cycles) and wider temperature range (-25°C minimum versus -20°C).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 95CW06C3JT or 95CW06E5JT be used as direct replacements for TL3301BF100QJ?

A: Both Grayhill parts satisfy the mandatory electrical specifications (SPST-NO, 0.05A @ 12VDC, Off-Mom function) and compliance requirements (ROHS3, MSL 1). However, mechanical parameters differ. The TL3301BF100QJ has a 9.50mm actuator height and 100gf operating force, while 95CW06C3JT has 4.60mm height with 260gf force, and 95CW06E5JT has 5.20mm height with 360gf force. Application-specific mechanical constraints must be evaluated.

Q: What are the key differences between the two Grayhill substitutes?

A: Both 95CW06C3JT and 95CW06E5JT share identical electrical ratings, outline dimensions (6.30mm x 6.20mm), switch travel (0.45mm), mechanical life (500,000 cycles), and temperature range (-25°C ~ 70°C). They differ in actuator height and operating force: 95CW06C3JT provides 4.60mm height with 260gf force, while 95CW06E5JT provides 5.20mm height with 360gf force.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The TL3301BF100QJ is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Both Grayhill substitutes (95CW06C3JT and 95CW06E5JT) are supplied in Tube packaging. This affects handling and assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Do the substitutes offer any performance advantages?

A: Both Grayhill parts provide extended mechanical life (500,000 cycles versus 100,000 cycles) and wider operating temperature range (-25°C minimum versus -20°C). The 95CW06C3JT and 95CW06E5JT feature washable construction and silicone rubber actuators compared to the TL3301BF100QJ polyamide actuator.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all three parts?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, are REACH unaffected, and share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9031) classifications.
