Grayhill 76RGB10T DIP Switch Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Grayhill 76RGB10T is a 10-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 active equivalent parts essential for ongoing production and design continuity. The 76RGB10T remains functionally available in inventory; however, sourcing active production alternatives ensures long-term supply chain reliability and access to current manufacturing support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 76RGB10T is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part 76RSB10T maintains identical specifications in the following critical areas:

Electrical Parameters: Circuit configuration (SPST), number of positions (10), current rating (150mA), and voltage rating (30VDC) are identical.

Mechanical Parameters: Actuator type (rocker), actuator level (flush, recessed), contact material (copper alloy), contact finish (gold), mounting type (through hole), termination style (PC pin), pitch (0.100"), height above board (0.292"), and overall length (1.080") are identical.

Environmental Parameters: Operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), mechanical life (2,000 cycles), and electrical life (2,000 cycles) are identical.

Compliance: Both parts are RoHS compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.50.9065.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging format, not functional or dimensional characteristics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs and Production Continuity: The 76RSB10T is the recommended selection. This part carries active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support, availability, and compliance with current RoHS3 standards. The 76RSB10T is functionally and mechanically identical to the 76RGB10T, with no design modifications required for direct substitution.

For Existing Inventory Management: The 76RGB10T remains available in stock (685 units) and is suitable for immediate use in applications where component supply is not constrained. However, transition planning to the 76RSB10T is advisable for long-term supply chain stability.

Compliance Considerations: Both parts meet REACH requirements and are classified under identical trade codes (ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.50.9065). The 76RSB10T carries ROHS3 certification, representing current compliance standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76RSB10T be used as a direct replacement for the 76RGB10T in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 76RSB10T is electrically and mechanically identical to the 76RGB10T. All electrical parameters (150mA, 30VDC, SPST, 10-position), mechanical dimensions (0.292" height, 1.080" length, 0.100" pitch), and environmental ratings (-40°C to 85°C, 2,000 cycle life) are identical. No PCB layout or schematic modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the 76RGB10T and 76RSB10T?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. The 76RGB10T is obsolete and supplied in bulk packaging, while the 76RSB10T is an active product supplied in tube packaging. Both parts are manufactured by Grayhill Inc. and share identical functional and dimensional specifications.

Q: Why is the 76RGB10T classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued active production of this part number. The 76RSB10T represents the current active equivalent in the Grayhill product line.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues with different packaging formats?

A: No. Packaging format (bulk versus tube) does not affect component functionality or PCB mounting. The 76RSB10T in tube packaging is compatible with all applications designed for the 76RGB10T.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the 76RGB10T and 76RSB10T are RoHS compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.50.9065. The 76RSB10T carries ROHS3 certification, representing the current compliance standard.

Q: Can I mix 76RGB10T and 76RSB10T units in the same production batch?

A: Yes. Since both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, they can be used interchangeably within the same assembly without functional impact.
