Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 76MRSB06S is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Circuit configuration (SPST), number of positions (6), current rating (150mA), and voltage rating (30VDC) must be identical.

Mechanical Parameters: Actuator type (rocker), actuator level (flush, recessed), mounting method (through hole), pitch spacing (0.100"), and height above board (0.292") must match exactly.

Material & Environmental Parameters: Contact material (copper alloy), contact finish (gold), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), and mechanical/electrical life ratings (2,000 cycles) must be equivalent.

Compliance Parameters: RoHS3 compliance and MSL rating (1) must be maintained.

The substitute part 76RSB06ST meets all these criteria and belongs to the same Grayhill 76 series, differing only in product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging configuration (tube versus standard).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 76RSB06ST serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 76MRSB06S. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility and functional interchangeability in circuit applications.

The primary distinction is product status: the 76MRSB06S is obsolete, while the 76RSB06ST is active and currently manufactured. This status difference ensures continued availability and supply chain support for new designs or component replenishment.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and carry MSL rating 1, confirming equivalent environmental and regulatory standing. The packaging difference (tube for 76RSB06ST versus standard for 76MRSB06S) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance and reflects only distribution and handling methodology.

For applications currently specified with 76MRSB06S, the 76RSB06ST provides uninterrupted functional performance with the advantage of active production status and ongoing manufacturer support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76RSB06ST replace the 76MRSB06S in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 76RSB06ST is electrically and mechanically identical to the 76MRSB06S across all critical parameters: SPST circuit, 6 positions, 150mA rating, 30VDC rating, rocker actuator, through-hole mounting, and identical physical dimensions. Direct substitution is supported.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The 76MRSB06S is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production. The 76RSB06ST is active, meaning it is currently manufactured and supported by Grayhill Inc. For new designs or component replenishment, the active status of 76RSB06ST ensures supply availability and manufacturer technical support.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect component performance?

A: No. The 76RSB06ST is supplied in tube packaging, while the 76MRSB06S uses standard packaging. Packaging is a distribution and handling specification only and does not alter electrical characteristics, mechanical fit, or functional performance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 76MRSB06S and 76RSB06ST are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL rating 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), confirming equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for substitution?

A: Substitution requires identical values for circuit configuration (SPST), number of positions (6), current rating (150mA), voltage rating (30VDC), actuator type (rocker), mounting method (through hole), pitch (0.100"), height above board (0.292"), contact material (copper alloy with gold finish), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), and mechanical/electrical life (2,000 cycles).

Q: Is the 76RSB06ST available in inventory?

A: The 76RSB06ST is listed as active product status with 2,740 pieces in new original stock, providing immediate availability for component procurement and design implementation.
