TL3301NF100QJ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TL3301NF100QJ is an active SPST-NO tactile switch manufactured by E-Switch, rated for 0.05A at 12VDC. This surface mount component features a 4.30mm actuator height, 100gf operating force, and 100,000 mechanical life cycles. The part is RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating and unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, circuit topology, mounting configuration, and termination style are maintained across alternative manufacturers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TL3301NF100QJ are qualified based on the following mandatory parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPST-NO topology required
• Electrical rating: 0.05A @ 12VDC contact rating
• Mounting type: Surface mount configuration
• Actuator orientation: Top actuated design
• Termination style: J Lead termination
• Compliance: RoHS3 compliant, MSL 1 rated

The three identified substitutes (95CW06C3JT, 95CW06D4JT, 95CW06E5JT) from Grayhill Inc. meet all mandatory electrical and mechanical interface requirements. Variations in actuator height, operating force, switch travel, and mechanical life cycles are documented but do not disqualify substitution when the primary electrical and mounting specifications are satisfied.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts maintain active product status and full RoHS3 compliance with MSL 1 rating, matching the regulatory and environmental requirements of the TL3301NF100QJ. Selection among substitutes depends on application-specific mechanical requirements not addressed by electrical specifications alone.

The 95CW06C3JT provides the lowest actuator height (4.60mm) with moderate operating force (260gf) and extended mechanical life (500,000 cycles). The 95CW06D4JT offers intermediate actuator height (3.80mm) with the highest operating force (520gf) but reduced mechanical life (50,000 cycles). The 95CW06E5JT provides the highest actuator height (5.20mm) with moderate operating force (360gf) and extended mechanical life (500,000 cycles).

All substitutes feature silicone rubber actuators and washable construction, contrasting with the polyamide actuator of the original part. All substitutes operate across an extended temperature range (-25°C to 70°C) compared to the original (-20°C to 70°C).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 95CW06C3JT, 95CW06D4JT, and 95CW06E5JT be used interchangeably with the TL3301NF100QJ?

A: These parts share identical electrical ratings (0.05A @ 12VDC), circuit topology (SPST-NO), mounting configuration (surface mount), and termination style (J Lead). They are electrically and mechanically compatible for PCB integration. Differences in actuator height, operating force, and mechanical life cycles must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between the substitute parts?

A: The three Grayhill substitutes differ in actuator height (4.60mm, 3.80mm, or 5.20mm), operating force (260gf, 520gf, or 360gf), and mechanical life (500,000 cycles, 50,000 cycles, or 500,000 cycles). Outline dimensions are consistent across all Grayhill parts (6.30mm x 6.20mm) but differ slightly from the original E-Switch part (6.00mm x 6.00mm).

Q: Are there packaging considerations for these substitutes?

A: The TL3301NF100QJ is supplied in standard packaging. The Grayhill substitutes are supplied in tube packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Do all parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: All parts are RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and rated MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity). All carry ECCN EAR99 classification and HTSUS code 8536.50.9031.

Q: Which substitute should I select if mechanical life is critical?

A: The 95CW06C3JT and 95CW06E5JT both provide 500,000 mechanical life cycles, compared to 100,000 cycles for the original part. The 95CW06D4JT provides only 50,000 cycles and is not recommended for applications requiring extended cycle life.

Q: How do actuator material differences affect performance?

A: The original TL3301NF100QJ uses polyamide (nylon) actuators, while all Grayhill substitutes use silicone rubber actuators. Silicone rubber actuators provide washable construction and may offer different tactile feedback characteristics. Material selection should be evaluated against specific application requirements.
