Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 76RGB06ST

Part Overview

The 76RGB06ST is a DIP rocker switch manufactured by Grayhill Inc., configured as a single-pole single-throw (SPST) device with 6 positions. This component is rated for 150mA at 30VDC and features a through-hole mounting configuration with gold-plated copper alloy contacts. The 76RGB06ST is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and procurement planning. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and contact specifications to ensure direct replacement capability in existing circuit designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 76RGB06ST is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Circuit configuration (SPST), current rating (150mA), and voltage rating (30VDC) must be identical. These parameters define the switch's load-carrying capability and electrical safety margins.

Mechanical Specifications: Number of positions (6), actuator type (rocker), actuator level (flush/recessed), mounting type (through hole), and pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm) must match exactly. These parameters ensure physical compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mechanical assemblies.

Contact Specifications: Contact material (copper alloy) and contact finish (gold) must be identical to maintain electrical performance and corrosion resistance characteristics.

Dimensional Specifications: Height above board (0.292" / 7.41mm), length (0.680" / 17.27mm), and termination style (PC pin) must be identical to ensure proper fit within enclosures and mechanical clearances.

Environmental and Compliance Specifications: Operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), RoHS compliance status, and MSL rating (1) must be maintained or exceeded.

The 76RSB06ST meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an equivalent part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 76RSB06ST is a direct functional equivalent to the 76RGB06ST across all critical electrical, mechanical, and dimensional parameters. Both components share identical circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, actuator specifications, contact materials and finishes, and operating temperature ranges.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging format. The 76RGB06ST is classified as obsolete, while the 76RSB06ST maintains active production status. This status difference makes the 76RSB06ST the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing procurement requirements.

Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS compliance certifications. The 76RGB06ST carries RoHS Compliant status, while the 76RSB06ST carries ROHS3 Compliant status, representing an updated compliance designation. Both satisfy RoHS requirements.

Packaging differs between the two parts: the 76RGB06ST is supplied with tape seal packaging, while the 76RSB06ST is supplied in tube packaging. This packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance and reflects standard industry variations in component distribution formats.

For applications currently using the 76RGB06ST, direct substitution with the 76RSB06ST is supported without circuit redesign or PCB layout modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76RSB06ST be used as a direct replacement for the 76RGB06ST in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 76RSB06ST is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 76RGB06ST. All critical parameters including circuit configuration, current rating, voltage rating, actuator type, contact specifications, and dimensional characteristics are identical. Direct substitution is supported without design changes.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference between these parts?

A: The 76RGB06ST is classified as obsolete, indicating that Grayhill Inc. has discontinued production. The 76RSB06ST maintains active production status, ensuring ongoing availability for procurement and supply chain continuity. For new designs and long-term applications, the 76RSB06ST is the appropriate selection.

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

A: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance. The 76RGB06ST carries RoHS Compliant designation, while the 76RSB06ST carries ROHS3 Compliant designation. ROHS3 represents an updated compliance standard. Both parts satisfy RoHS requirements and are suitable for applications requiring RoHS-compliant components. Both parts carry MSL rating 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level) and are REACH unaffected.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect component performance or compatibility?

A: No. The 76RGB06ST is supplied with tape seal packaging, while the 76RSB06ST is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or circuit compatibility. The packaging difference reflects standard industry variations in component distribution and storage formats.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for substitution to be valid?

A: Substitution validity is determined by equivalence across electrical specifications (SPST circuit, 150mA current rating, 30VDC voltage rating), mechanical specifications (6 positions, rocker actuator, flush/recessed level, through-hole mounting, 0.100" pitch), contact specifications (copper alloy material, gold finish), and dimensional specifications (0.292" height, 0.680" length, PC pin termination). Operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) and environmental ratings must also be maintained.

Q: Are there any applications where the 76RSB06ST cannot substitute for the 76RGB06ST?

A: No. The 76RSB06ST is a complete functional equivalent across all specified parameters. Substitution is valid for all applications where the 76RGB06ST was originally specified.
