• Contact rating: 0.05A @ 12VDC
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Outline dimensions: 6.00mm x 6.00mm
• Actuator height (vertical): 9.70mm
• Actuator orientation: Top Actuated
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Switch travel: 0.25mm
• Mechanical life: 100,000 Cycles
• Operating temperature range: -20°C ~ 70°C
• Actuator material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• Features: Grounding Pin

Variable Parameter (Allows Substitution):

• Operating force: The TLE1105GF250Q specifies 250gf. Substitute parts within the TL1105 series may vary in operating force while maintaining all other critical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TLE1105GF160Q is identified as a direct substitute for the obsolete TLE1105GF250Q. Both components are manufactured by E-Switch within the same TL1105 series and share identical electrical, mechanical, and dimensional specifications with the exception of operating force.

The TLE1105GF160Q holds active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for current applications.

The primary distinction between these components is the operating force specification: 250gf for the original part versus 160gf for the substitute. This difference reflects a lower actuation force requirement in the substitute variant while maintaining all other functional and physical characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TLE1105GF160Q be used as a direct replacement for the TLE1105GF250Q?

A: The TLE1105GF160Q is mechanically and electrically compatible with the TLE1105GF250Q. Both components share identical circuit configuration, contact rating, mounting type, outline dimensions, actuator height, switch travel, operating temperature range, and mechanical life. The operating force differs at 160gf versus 250gf. Substitution is valid when the application design accommodates the lower actuation force.

Q: What is the significance of the operating force difference?

A: Operating force specifies the pressure required to actuate the switch. The TLE1105GF250Q requires 250gf of force, while the TLE1105GF160Q requires 160gf. Applications requiring a specific actuation force threshold must account for this parameter when selecting between variants.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Both the TLE1105GF250Q and TLE1105GF160Q are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What is the PCB footprint compatibility between these parts?

A: Both components feature identical outline dimensions of 6.00mm x 6.00mm, identical actuator height of 9.70mm, and identical PC pin termination style. PCB footprints designed for either component are interchangeable.

Q: Why is the TLE1105GF250Q listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued production. The TLE1105GF160Q, with active product status, represents the current production alternative within the TL1105 series.
