CTS 210-6LPSFD DIP Switch Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CTS 210-6LPSFD 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 compact form factors. The part is currently active in production and ROHS3 compliant. Equivalent and substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, lead time considerations, or specific application requirements within the allowed electrical and mechanical parameter ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The C&K SDA06H0BD qualifies as a substitute for the CTS 210-6LPSFD based on the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Both parts are SPST
• Number of Positions: Both are 6-position switches
• Actuator Type: Both use slide (standard) actuators
• Mounting Type: Both are through-hole mounted
• Pitch: Both use 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch
• Contact Material: Both use beryllium copper contacts with gold finish
• Operating Temperature: Both operate across -40°C ~ 85°C
• Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected

The SDA06H0BD operates at lower current (25mA) and higher voltage (24VDC) ratings compared to the main part. These differences represent a more conservative electrical specification suitable for applications with reduced current demands or slightly elevated voltage requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CTS 210-6LPSFD and C&K SDA06H0BD are active production parts with identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific electrical requirements. The CTS part supports higher current applications at 100mA, while the C&K part is suitable for lower-current circuits at 25mA with slightly elevated voltage tolerance at 24VDC. Both parts maintain equivalent mechanical compatibility, identical pitch spacing, and matching operating temperature ranges. Compliance certifications and regulatory status are equivalent across both options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the C&K SDA06H0BD directly replace the CTS 210-6LPSFD in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only when the application current requirement does not exceed 25mA. The C&K part's lower current rating (25mA vs. 100mA) is the limiting factor. If your circuit requires currents above 25mA, the CTS part is required.

Q: Are there physical compatibility concerns between these two parts?

A: Both parts use identical 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing and through-hole PC pin termination. Height differences are minimal (0.180" vs. 0.183"), presenting no practical PCB layout concerns.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the CTS 210-6LPSFD and C&K SDA06H0BD are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with identical MSL ratings of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference (20VDC vs. 24VDC)?

A: The C&K part's 24VDC rating provides slightly higher voltage tolerance. Both parts are suitable for 20VDC applications. The C&K part extends compatibility to 24VDC circuits.

Q: Are the contact materials and finishes identical?

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

Q: What is the electrical life specification for both parts?

A: Both parts are rated for 1,000 electrical cycles, providing equivalent operational durability.
