Grayhill 76RGB06T DIP Switch Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Grayhill 76RGB06T is a 6-position DIP switch with rocker actuator, rated for 150mA at 30VDC, designed for through-hole PCB mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing production support, design updates, and inventory management. The 76RGB06T remains available in stock; however, active-status equivalents provide long-term supply chain continuity and access to current manufacturing processes.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: 76RSB06T

The 76RSB06T is the direct functional equivalent of the 76RGB06T. Selection of the 76RSB06T is based on the following engineering factors:

1. Product Status: The 76RSB06T is classified as active, ensuring continued availability and access to current manufacturing processes. The 76RGB06T is obsolete, presenting long-term supply risk.

2. Electrical Equivalence: All electrical parameters—circuit configuration (SPST), position count (6), current rating (150mA), and voltage rating (30VDC)—are identical.

3. Mechanical Equivalence: All mechanical parameters—actuator type (rocker), actuator level (flush/recessed), mounting type (through hole), pitch (0.100"), and board height (0.292")—are identical. PCB footprint compatibility is confirmed.

4. Compliance Status: Both parts are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. The 76RSB06T carries ROHS3 certification, reflecting current regulatory standards.

5. Environmental Performance: Operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), mechanical life (2,000 cycles), and electrical life (2,000 cycles) are identical.

6. Packaging Difference: The 76RSB06T is supplied in tube packaging, whereas the 76RGB06T uses standard packaging. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance and is a logistics consideration only.

Substitution Scope: The 76RSB06T is suitable for direct replacement in all applications where the 76RGB06T was specified, without circuit modification or PCB redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can the 76RSB06T be used as a direct replacement for the 76RGB06T without PCB modification?

A: Yes. The 76RSB06T is electrically and mechanically identical to the 76RGB06T. All electrical parameters (SPST, 6 positions, 150mA, 30VDC), mechanical parameters (rocker actuator, through-hole mounting, 0.100" pitch, 0.292" height), and environmental specifications (−40°C to +85°C operating range) are identical. No circuit modification or PCB redesign is required.

Q2: What is the difference between the 76RGB06T and 76RSB06T?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. The 76RGB06T is obsolete; the 76RSB06T is active. The 76RSB06T is supplied in tube packaging. All functional, electrical, and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q3: Why is the 76RGB06T classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence is a manufacturer classification indicating that the product is no longer in active production. The 76RSB06T is the active equivalent and is recommended for new designs and ongoing production support.

Q4: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. The 76RSB06T carries ROHS3 certification, which reflects current regulatory standards. Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9065) classifications.

Q5: Does packaging affect the electrical or mechanical performance of the 76RSB06T?

A: No. Packaging (tube versus standard) is a logistics and handling consideration only. It does not affect electrical performance, mechanical performance, or PCB compatibility.

Q6: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both the 76RGB06T and 76RSB06T carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q7: Are the mechanical life and electrical life specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 2,000 mechanical cycles and 2,000 electrical cycles under specified operating conditions.

Q8: Can the 76RSB06T be used in applications requiring −40°C to +85°C operating temperature?

A: Yes. The 76RSB06T is rated for −40°C to +85°C operating temperature, identical to the 76RGB06T.
