TL3301FF100QJ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TL3301FF100QJ is an E-Switch tactile switch with SPST-NO circuit configuration, rated for 0.05A at 12VDC. This surface mount component features a 6.00mm x 6.00mm outline with top actuated standard polyamide actuator and J Lead termination. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility can be maintained across the SPST-NO tactile switch category while accommodating design-specific requirements for actuator height, operating force, and mechanical durability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TL3301FF100QJ is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Circuit configuration (SPST-NO) and contact rating (0.05A @ 12VDC) must match exactly
• Mechanical Interface: Surface mount termination style (J Lead) and mounting compatibility required
• Dimensional Tolerance: Outline footprint and actuator height variations must be evaluated against PCB layout constraints
• Operational Characteristics: Operating force, switch travel, and mechanical life ratings define performance equivalence
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating must be maintained

The identified substitute parts (95CW06C3JT and 95CW06E5JT from Grayhill Inc.) satisfy the core electrical requirements and mounting compatibility. Variations in actuator height, operating force, and mechanical life reflect design trade-offs within the SPST-NO tactile switch category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance with MSL 1 rating, ensuring regulatory and supply chain continuity.

The TL3301FF100QJ and its substitutes share identical electrical specifications (SPST-NO, 0.05A @ 12VDC) and J Lead termination, establishing core functional equivalence. Selection between parts depends on specific design constraints:

• 95CW06C3JT: Lowest actuator height (4.60mm) with highest operating force (260gf). Suitable for space-constrained applications requiring increased tactile feedback.
• 95CW06E5JT: Mid-range actuator height (5.20mm) with highest operating force (360gf). Provides extended mechanical life (500,000 cycles) compared to the primary part.

Both Grayhill substitutes feature silicone rubber actuators and extended temperature range (-25°C to 70°C) versus the E-Switch polyamide actuator (-20°C to 70°C). Outline dimensions increase marginally (6.30mm x 6.20mm versus 6.00mm x 6.00mm), requiring PCB layout verification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 95CW06C3JT or 95CW06E5JT be used as direct drop-in replacements for TL3301FF100QJ?

A: Electrical compatibility is confirmed (SPST-NO, 0.05A @ 12VDC, J Lead termination). Physical compatibility requires PCB layout verification due to outline dimension differences (6.30mm x 6.20mm versus 6.00mm x 6.00mm) and actuator height variations (4.60mm or 5.20mm versus 7.00mm).

Q: What are the key differences in operating characteristics?

A: The TL3301FF100QJ operates at 100gf with 0.25mm travel and 100,000 cycle mechanical life. Both Grayhill substitutes require higher operating force (260gf or 360gf), feature 0.45mm travel, and provide 500,000 cycle mechanical life. Actuator material differs (polyamide versus silicone rubber).

Q: Are all three parts compliant with the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. All parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, MSL 1 rated, and carry EAR99 ECCN classification with identical HTSUS code 8536.50.9031.

Q: What packaging differences exist between the main part and substitutes?

A: TL3301FF100QJ is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Both Grayhill substitutes (95CW06C3JT and 95CW06E5JT) are supplied in Tube packaging, affecting procurement and assembly workflows.

Q: How do temperature operating ranges compare?

A: TL3301FF100QJ operates from -20°C to 70°C. Both Grayhill substitutes extend the lower limit to -25°C, providing 5°C additional cold temperature capability.
