Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TL53GF160Q is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPST x 2
• Switch function: Off-Mom
• Contact rating: 0.05A @ 12VDC
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Actuator orientation: Side Actuated
• Operating force: 160gf
• Switch travel: 0.25mm
• Mechanical life: 100,000 Cycles
• Operating temperature range: -20°C ~ 70°C
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Outline dimensions: 8.40mm x 10.50mm
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The TL53EF160Q qualifies as a direct substitute based on full alignment with these parameters. The primary difference is the actuator length, which varies from 8.35mm (TL53GF160Q) to 7.35mm (TL53EF160Q), and packaging format (Tray vs. standard packaging). Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TL53EF160Q is the qualified substitute for the obsolete TL53GF160Q. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical specifications, with the exception of actuator length. The TL53EF160Q carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. The TL53EF160Q is available in Tray packaging with significantly higher inventory levels (2774 Pcs vs. 852 Pcs), supporting production continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitutability between TL53GF160Q and TL53EF160Q?

A: Substitutability is determined by equivalence in circuit configuration (SPST x 2), switch function (Off-Mom), contact rating (0.05A @ 12VDC), mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle), actuator orientation (Side Actuated), operating force (160gf), switch travel (0.25mm), mechanical life (100,000 Cycles), and operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 70°C).

Q: What is the difference in actuator length between these parts?

A: The TL53GF160Q has an actuator length of 8.35mm, while the TL53EF160Q has an actuator length of 7.35mm. This 1.0mm difference must be evaluated against PCB layout and mechanical clearance requirements in the target application.

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

A: The TL53GF160Q uses standard packaging, while the TL53EF160Q is supplied in Tray packaging. Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical function.

Q: What is the product status difference, and why does it matter?

A: The TL53GF160Q is classified as Obsolete, indicating discontinued production. The TL53EF160Q is Active, ensuring ongoing manufacturing and supply availability for future orders and production runs.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the TL53GF160Q and TL53EF160Q are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
