CTS Electrocomponents 210-6ESF DIP Switch Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CTS Electrocomponents 210-6ESF is a 6-position DIP switch with SPST circuit configuration, rated for 100mA at 20VDC. This through-hole component features a slide actuator with gold-plated beryllium copper contacts and is designed for applications requiring reliable switching in industrial and commercial environments. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, regional availability, or specific application requirements where alternative electrical or mechanical parameters are acceptable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 210-6ESF is determined by the following critical parameters: SPST circuit configuration, 6-position count, through-hole mounting with 0.100" pitch, beryllium copper contacts with gold finish, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The substitute part C&K SDA06H0BD meets these core mechanical and electrical interface requirements. However, the substitute exhibits reduced current rating (25mA versus 100mA) and increased voltage rating (24VDC versus 20VDC). These differences must be evaluated against specific application requirements. Both parts maintain identical contact material, finish, mounting style, pitch, and temperature range, ensuring mechanical and thermal compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 210-6ESF and SDA06H0BD are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific current and voltage demands. The 210-6ESF is suitable for applications requiring 100mA switching capacity at 20VDC. The SDA06H0BD is appropriate for applications with lower current requirements (25mA maximum) and can operate at higher voltages (24VDC). The lower profile of the SDA06H0BD (0.183" versus 0.204") may provide advantages in space-constrained PCB layouts. Both parts share identical pitch, contact materials, and temperature operating range, ensuring footprint compatibility and thermal performance equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SDA06H0BD directly replace the 210-6ESF in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only if the application current requirement does not exceed 25mA. The 210-6ESF is rated for 100mA, while the SDA06H0BD is limited to 25mA. Voltage compatibility is maintained as the SDA06H0BD operates at 24VDC, which is higher than the 210-6ESF rating of 20VDC.

Q: What are the mechanical differences between these parts?

A: The primary mechanical differences are actuator level profile and height above board. The 210-6ESF features a raised actuator at 0.204" height, while the SDA06H0BD has a flush, recessed actuator at 0.183" height. Both maintain identical 0.100" pitch and through-hole mounting configuration.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 210-6ESF and SDA06H0BD operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Q: Do these parts have the same contact material and finish?

A: Yes. Both parts use beryllium copper contacts with gold plating, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: How do the electrical life ratings compare?

A: Both parts are rated for 1,000 electrical cycles, providing equivalent operational longevity under normal switching conditions.
