Grayhill 76PSB06 DIP Switch Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Grayhill 76PSB06 is a 6-position DIP switch with SPST circuit configuration, rated for 150mA at 30VDC. This component features a piano actuator mechanism with through-hole, right-angle mounting and gold-plated copper alloy contacts. The 76PSB06 is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Alternative models maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved availability and compliance status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 76PSB06 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Circuit type: SPST
• Position count: 6
• Current rating: 150mA minimum
• Voltage rating: 30VDC minimum
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C or broader

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Actuator type: Piano mechanism
• Mounting configuration: Through hole, right angle
• Pitch spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Height above board: 0.301" (7.65mm)
• Termination style: PC pin

Identified Substitutes:

1. 76PSB06T (Grayhill Inc.) – Direct manufacturer equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Differs only in packaging (tube) and product status (active vs. obsolete). RoHS3 compliant.

2. 435802-5 (TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches) – Cross-manufacturer substitute meeting core electrical and mechanical requirements. Maintains SPST 6-position configuration, piano actuator, through-hole right-angle mounting, and identical pitch spacing. Differs in series designation (7000 vs. 76) and compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: 76PSB06T

The 76PSB06T is the preferred substitute for the obsolete 76PSB06. This part is manufactured by Grayhill Inc., the original equipment manufacturer, ensuring design continuity and performance equivalence. The 76PSB06T maintains identical electrical ratings (150mA, 30VDC), mechanical configuration (6-position SPST, piano actuator, through-hole right-angle mounting), and operating specifications (-40°C to 85°C, 2,000 cycle life). The primary distinction is product status: the 76PSB06T is active and available in production quantities (2,650 units in stock). Additionally, the 76PSB06T achieves RoHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs and manufacturing environments where RoHS compliance is mandated.

Secondary Recommendation: 435802-5

The 435802-5 from TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches serves as a cross-manufacturer alternative when 76PSB06T availability is constrained. This part maintains core functional equivalence through identical SPST 6-position configuration, piano actuator mechanism, and through-hole mounting. The 435802-5 is active and available (775 units in stock). However, this substitute differs in the following aspects: manufacturer (TE Connectivity vs. Grayhill), series designation (7000 vs. 76), and compliance status (RoHS non-compliant, REACH affected). The 435802-5 does not specify current and voltage ratings in the provided data; verification against application requirements is necessary before selection.

Selection Criteria:

• For new designs or RoHS-regulated environments: Select 76PSB06T
• For direct form-fit-function replacement with active availability: Select 76PSB06T
• For cross-manufacturer sourcing when primary substitute is unavailable: Select 435802-5 with verification of electrical specifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76PSB06T directly replace the 76PSB06 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 76PSB06T is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 76PSB06. Both parts share identical SPST 6-position configuration, 150mA/30VDC ratings, piano actuator mechanism, through-hole right-angle mounting, 0.100" pitch spacing, and 0.301" height above board. The primary difference is product status (active vs. obsolete) and packaging format (tube vs. bulk). No circuit redesign or board layout modification is required.

Q: What is the difference between 76PSB06 and 76PSB06T?

A: The 76PSB06 and 76PSB06T are functionally identical. The "T" designation indicates tube packaging. The 76PSB06 is obsolete; the 76PSB06T is active production. The 76PSB06T achieves RoHS3 compliance, while the 76PSB06 is RoHS non-compliant. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Is the TE Connectivity 435802-5 compatible with the Grayhill 76PSB06?

A: The 435802-5 is mechanically and functionally compatible for applications requiring SPST 6-position DIP switch functionality with piano actuator and through-hole right-angle mounting. However, the 435802-5 does not specify current and voltage ratings in available documentation. Verification that the 435802-5 meets or exceeds 150mA/30VDC requirements is necessary before deployment in the same circuit.

Q: Why is the 76PSB06 marked as obsolete?

A: The 76PSB06 is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The active equivalent, 76PSB06T, is available for all new applications and ongoing production requirements. Existing inventory of 76PSB06 units (1,137 pieces) remains available for legacy support.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitutes?

A: The 76PSB06T is supplied in tube packaging. The 435802-5 is also supplied in tube packaging. Tube packaging is standard for DIP switches and is compatible with automated assembly processes. The original 76PSB06 was supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the substitutes?

A: Yes. The 76PSB06T is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The 435802-5 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. For applications in regulated industries or regions with RoHS requirements, the 76PSB06T is the appropriate selection.

Q: Can I use 435802-5 if 76PSB06T is unavailable?

A: The 435802-5 can serve as a secondary alternative for form-fit-function replacement. However, electrical specification verification is required, as current and voltage ratings are not provided in available documentation. Contact the manufacturer or distributor to confirm 435802-5 specifications meet 150mA/30VDC requirements before substitution.
