Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 76MSB07S is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPST
• Number of positions: 7
• Current rating: 150mA minimum
• Voltage rating: 30VDC minimum
• Actuator type: Rocker with raised level
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Contact material and finish: Copper alloy with gold plating
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to +85°C minimum
• Mechanical and electrical life: 2,000 cycles minimum
• RoHS and REACH compliance status

The 76SB07ST meets all mandatory parameters and qualifies as a direct functional equivalent. The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format and product status, not electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 76SB07ST is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 76MSB07S based on complete electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both parts are manufactured by Grayhill Inc. and share identical circuit topology, switching ratings, physical dimensions, and environmental specifications.

Selection Basis:

The 76SB07ST maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support, availability, and compliance documentation. This part carries identical RoHS3 and REACH certifications, confirming regulatory alignment for new designs and production continuity.

The only functional differences are packaging format (tube versus tape seal) and inventory status. These distinctions do not affect electrical performance, PCB compatibility, or switching characteristics. The 76SB07ST is suitable for direct replacement in applications currently using the 76MSB07S, provided packaging and handling procedures are adjusted accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76SB07ST be used as a direct replacement for the 76MSB07S on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same through-hole pitch (0.100"), height above board (0.315"), and all electrical ratings. PCB layout and footprint compatibility are maintained.

Q: What is the difference between the tape seal and tube packaging?

A: Tape seal packaging uses adhesive-backed carrier tape for automated pick-and-place assembly. Tube packaging uses a plastic container for manual handling and lower-volume applications. The component itself is identical; packaging affects only handling and assembly processes.

Q: Why is the 76MSB07S listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The 76SB07ST represents the active equivalent, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support for this switching function.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Environmental and regulatory certifications are equivalent.

Q: What is the mechanical life specification, and how does it affect component selection?

A: Both parts are rated for 2,000 mechanical cycles, representing the number of actuator operations before wear becomes significant. This specification applies to the rocker actuator mechanism and is identical between the main part and substitute.

Q: Can the 76SB07ST handle the same current and voltage as the 76MSB07S?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 150mA at 30VDC. Electrical performance and switching capacity are identical.

Q: What operating temperature range is supported?

A: Both parts operate across -40°C to +85°C. This range covers industrial and commercial temperature environments without derating.
