TLE1105AF100Q Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TLE1105AF100Q is a tactile switch manufactured by E-Switch, classified as SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) with a contact rating of 0.05A at 12VDC. This through-hole mounted switch features top actuation with a 100gf operating force and is designed for applications requiring momentary contact switching. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing design support, maintenance, and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TLE1105AF100Q is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Must remain SPST-NO
• Contact Rating: Must maintain 0.05A @ 12VDC electrical specification
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole with PC Pin termination
• Physical Dimensions: Outline must be 6.00mm x 6.00mm; actuator height must be 5.00mm
• Actuator Orientation: Must be Top Actuated
• Switch Travel: Must be 0.25mm
• Mechanical Life: Must support 100,000 cycles minimum
• Operating Temperature: Must cover -20°C ~ 70°C range
• Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The TLE1105AF160Q qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical, mechanical, and physical specifications. The only variance is the operating force (160gf versus 100gf), which represents a higher actuation threshold within the same product family and does not compromise functional compatibility for standard switching applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TLE1105AF160Q is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete TLE1105AF100Q. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Product Status Alignment: The substitute maintains Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support from E-Switch.
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying environmental and regulatory requirements.
• Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters (circuit configuration, contact rating, voltage specification) and mechanical parameters (mounting type, dimensions, switch travel, mechanical life, operating temperature) remain unchanged.
• PCB Compatibility: Identical outline dimensions (6.00mm x 6.00mm) and actuator height (5.00mm) ensure direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout modifications.

The variance in operating force (160gf versus 100gf) reflects a higher actuation threshold. This difference does not affect electrical functionality or mechanical compatibility and is within the standard product family variation for tactile switch applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TLE1105AF160Q be used as a direct replacement for the TLE1105AF100Q on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. The TLE1105AF160Q maintains identical physical dimensions (6.00mm x 6.00mm outline, 5.00mm actuator height), mounting type (through hole with PC pin termination), and electrical specifications (0.05A @ 12VDC, SPST-NO circuit). No PCB modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the 100gf and 160gf operating force specifications?

A: Operating force refers to the mechanical pressure required to actuate the switch. The TLE1105AF160Q requires 160 grams-force compared to 100 grams-force for the original part. This results in a firmer tactile response and may be perceptible in manual actuation applications, but does not affect electrical switching performance or compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 70°C). Regulatory and environmental requirements are equivalent.

Q: Why is the TLE1105AF100Q listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer based on production lifecycle decisions. The TLE1105AF160Q, as an active product within the same TL1105 series, provides functional continuity for applications requiring SPST-NO tactile switching with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The TLE1105AF160Q is available in Bulk packaging, with 7492 pieces currently in stock. The original TLE1105AF100Q was available in standard packaging with 1157 pieces in stock.

Q: Are there any other substitutes available for the TLE1105AF100Q?

A: Based on the provided data, the TLE1105AF160Q is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. Other variants within the TL1105 series may exist but are not included in this reference.
