Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 76HPSB08GWR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Circuit type (SPST)
• Number of positions (8)
• Current rating (150mA minimum)
• Voltage rating (30VDC minimum)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Actuator type and level (Piano, Raised)
• Mounting configuration (Surface Mount, Right Angle)
• Termination style (Gull Wing)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Physical dimensions (Height, Length)
• Contact material and finish (Copper Alloy, Gold)

Environmental & Operational Parameters:

• Operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C)
• Mechanical and electrical life ratings (2,000 Cycles minimum)
• Moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1)

The 76HPSB08GWRT qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical alignment across all electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters. The primary distinction is packaging format and product status.
