Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 76RGB10ST is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Circuit configuration (SPST), number of positions (10), current rating (150mA), and voltage rating (30VDC) must be identical. These parameters define the functional electrical behavior and load-handling capability of the switch.

Mechanical Parameters: Actuator type (rocker), mounting method (through hole), termination style (PC pin), and pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm) must match exactly. These parameters ensure physical compatibility with printed circuit board layouts and mechanical assembly processes.

Environmental Parameters: Operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) and contact material (copper alloy with gold finish) must be maintained to ensure reliability in the intended application environment.

Compliance Parameters: RoHS status and REACH compliance must be verified for regulatory conformance in the target market.

The 76RSB10ST meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an active product with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 76RSB10ST is a direct functional equivalent to the 76RGB10ST. All electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, and environmental specifications are identical. The primary distinction is product status: the 76RGB10ST is obsolete while the 76RSB10ST is active.

The 76RSB10ST offers improved supply chain availability and long-term support. The RoHS3 compliance status of the 76RSB10ST exceeds the RoHS compliance of the 76RGB10ST, providing enhanced regulatory alignment with current environmental standards.

Both parts share identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1), operating temperature ranges, and mechanical/electrical life ratings. The 76RSB10ST is suitable for direct substitution in applications currently utilizing the 76RGB10ST without design modification or circuit re-evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76RSB10ST replace the 76RGB10ST in existing designs?
