TL3302AF260QJ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TL3302AF260QJ is an active SPST-NO tactile switch manufactured by E-Switch, designed for surface mount applications requiring low-current switching at 12VDC. This component is a rectangular button actuated switch with tactile feedback, operating at 0.05A contact rating and 260gf operating force. The part is RoHS3 compliant and carries MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.

Substitute parts become necessary when primary component availability is limited, supply chain disruptions occur, or design flexibility is required across manufacturing locations. The following equivalent parts maintain functional compatibility within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TL3302AF260QJ is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Circuit configuration (SPST-NO), switch function (Off-Mom), and contact rating (0.05A @ 12VDC) must be identical. These parameters define the electrical switching capability and load handling capacity.

Mechanical Compatibility: Mounting type (Surface Mount), actuator orientation (Top Actuated), outline dimensions (6.00mm x 4.60mm), termination style (J Lead), and switch travel (0.25mm) must match to ensure PCB footprint compatibility and assembly process alignment.

Operational Parameters: Operating force (260gf) and switch travel (0.25mm) determine tactile response and user interface consistency. These values must remain constant for functional equivalence.

Regulatory & Environmental: RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are mandatory for supply chain and storage compatibility. Operating temperature range may vary within acceptable limits for the application environment.

The following substitute parts meet these criteria:

• ADTSM32RVTR (APEM Inc., ADTS3 Series)
• EVQ-5PN04K (Panasonic Electronic Components, EVQ5PN Series)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—TL3302AF260QJ, ADTSM32RVTR, and EVQ-5PN04K—maintain active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring regulatory alignment and supply chain compatibility.

ADTSM32RVTR (APEM Inc.): This substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the primary part. The actuator height is 5.00mm compared to 4.30mm on the TL3302AF260QJ, representing a 0.70mm increase. Operating temperature range extends to -25°C, providing slightly improved low-temperature performance. Mechanical life specification is not provided for this part.

EVQ-5PN04K (Panasonic Electronic Components): This substitute provides identical footprint and termination compatibility. Operating force is specified at 240gf, representing a 20gf reduction from the 260gf specification of the primary part. Actuator height matches the TL3302AF260QJ at 4.30mm. Operating temperature range extends to -30°C and 85°C, providing the widest thermal operating window. Mechanical life is specified at 30,000 cycles, matching the primary part.

Selection between substitutes depends on specific application requirements regarding actuator height clearance, operating force tolerance, and thermal operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ADTSM32RVTR be used as a direct replacement for TL3302AF260QJ?

A: ADTSM32RVTR is electrically and functionally equivalent with identical circuit configuration, contact rating, and switch travel. The primary difference is actuator height (5.00mm vs. 4.30mm). PCB clearance and enclosure design must accommodate the additional 0.70mm height. Mechanical life data is not specified for ADTSM32RVTR.

Q: What is the significance of the 20gf operating force difference in EVQ-5PN04K?

A: EVQ-5PN04K operates at 240gf compared to the 260gf specification of TL3302AF260QJ. This 20gf reduction affects tactile feedback and actuation force. Applications requiring precise operating force specification should evaluate whether this variance is acceptable for the intended use case.

Q: Are all three parts compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: All three parts share identical outline dimensions (6.00mm x 4.60mm), J Lead termination, and surface mount configuration. Actuator height differs: TL3302AF260QJ and EVQ-5PN04K are 4.30mm, while ADTSM32RVTR is 5.00mm. PCB layout and enclosure clearance must be verified for the ADTSM32RVTR variant.

Q: What are the packaging and supply considerations?

A: All parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with MSL 1 rating, allowing unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions. Current inventory levels are: TL3302AF260QJ (2,350 pcs), ADTSM32RVTR (45,725 pcs), and EVQ-5PN04K (9,519 pcs).

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: All three parts are RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry EAR99 ECCN classification with identical HTSUS code (8536.50.9031). Regulatory compliance is equivalent across all options.

Q: What is the operating temperature range consideration for part selection?

A: TL3302AF260QJ operates from -20°C to 70°C. ADTSM32RVTR extends the lower limit to -25°C. EVQ-5PN04K provides the widest range at -30°C to 85°C. Application environment thermal requirements should guide selection between these options.
