76RSB02 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 76RSB02 is a DIP rocker switch manufactured by Grayhill Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications requiring SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) switching functionality. This component operates at 150mA and 30VDC with a 2-position rocker actuator configuration. The 76RSB02 is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The active product variant 76RSB02T provides functional equivalence with improved compliance status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 76RSB02 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Circuit configuration (SPST), current rating (150mA), voltage rating (30VDC), and number of positions (2) must remain identical.

Mechanical Parameters: Actuator type (rocker), mounting method (through hole), pitch spacing (0.100"/2.54mm), and height above board (0.292"/7.41mm) must match to ensure PCB layout compatibility and mechanical fit.

Environmental Parameters: Operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), mechanical life (2,000 cycles), and electrical life (2,000 cycles) establish the performance envelope.

Material Specifications: Contact material (copper alloy) and contact finish (gold) define electrical performance characteristics.

The 76RSB02T qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters listed above.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 76RSB02T is the direct substitute for the obsolete 76RSB02. Both components share identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability in circuit designs and PCB layouts.

Product Status Consideration: The 76RSB02 is classified as obsolete, while the 76RSB02T maintains active product status. For new designs and ongoing production, the 76RSB02T is the appropriate selection to ensure long-term component availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance Advantage: The 76RSB02T achieves RoHS3 compliance, whereas the 76RSB02 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements must utilize the 76RSB02T. Both components maintain REACH unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Packaging Difference: The 76RSB02T is supplied in tube packaging, which may affect procurement workflows and inventory management compared to standard packaging of the 76RSB02. Verify packaging compatibility with assembly processes and material handling systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76RSB02T directly replace the 76RSB02 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 76RSB02T provides complete functional equivalence. All electrical parameters (150mA, 30VDC, SPST), mechanical dimensions (0.292" height, 0.100" pitch), and environmental ratings (-40°C to 85°C, 2,000 cycle life) are identical. PCB layouts and circuit designs require no modification.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 76RSB02 is obsolete with RoHS non-compliant status. The 76RSB02T is the active equivalent with RoHS3 compliance. Packaging differs: 76RSB02T is supplied in tube format. Both share identical functional specifications.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 76RSB02 with the 76RSB02T?

A: No compatibility concerns exist for electrical or mechanical integration. Verify that tube packaging for the 76RSB02T aligns with your assembly and handling procedures. Both components use identical PC pin termination and through-hole mounting.

Q: Which part should be specified for new product designs?

A: Specify the 76RSB02T for all new designs. The 76RSB02 is obsolete and subject to availability constraints. The 76RSB02T ensures regulatory compliance and supply continuity.

Q: Do these parts have identical contact materials and finishes?

A: Yes. Both the 76RSB02 and 76RSB02T feature copper alloy contacts with gold finish, providing equivalent electrical performance and reliability characteristics.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: RoHS3 compliance (76RSB02T) is required for products sold in markets with RoHS regulations. The 76RSB02 (RoHS non-compliant) may be restricted in certain jurisdictions. For unrestricted market access, the 76RSB02T is the appropriate selection.
