Grayhill 76RSB06S DIP Switch Rocker SPST Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Grayhill 76RSB06S is a 6-position DIP switch with rocker actuator, rated for 150mA at 30VDC, designed for through-hole mounting applications. This component features a flush, recessed rocker actuator with gold-plated copper alloy contacts and operates across the temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

The 76RSB06S carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and support legacy system maintenance and repairs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 76RSB06S is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Circuit configuration (SPST), number of positions (6), current rating (150mA), and voltage rating (30VDC) must remain identical.

Mechanical Parameters: Actuator type (rocker), actuator level (flush, recessed), mounting type (through hole), pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), and height above board (0.292"/7.41mm) must match exactly.

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

Material and Contact Specifications: Contact material (copper alloy), contact finish (gold), and body material (thermoplastic) must be consistent.

The 76RSB06ST qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all specified parameters. The primary distinction is product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 76RSB06ST is the direct substitute for the obsolete 76RSB06S. Both components are manufactured by Grayhill Inc. and share identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications.

Product Status Consideration: The 76RSB06S is classified as obsolete, while the 76RSB06ST maintains active product status. For new designs and ongoing production, the 76RSB06ST is the appropriate selection to ensure long-term supply availability and manufacturer support.

Compliance Consideration: The 76RSB06ST achieves RoHS3 compliance, whereas the 76RSB06S is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements must utilize the 76RSB06ST. Both components maintain REACH unaffected status and carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9065) classifications.

Packaging Consideration: The 76RSB06S is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 76RSB06ST is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Inventory and Availability: The 76RSB06ST demonstrates significantly higher inventory availability (2,740 pieces) compared to the 76RSB06S (738 pieces), supporting supply chain continuity for both new production and legacy system support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76RSB06ST be used as a direct replacement for the 76RSB06S in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 76RSB06ST is electrically and mechanically identical to the 76RSB06S. All electrical parameters (150mA, 30VDC, SPST, 6-position), mechanical dimensions (0.292" height, 0.100" pitch, through-hole mounting), and environmental specifications (-40°C to 85°C operating range, 2,000 cycle life) are equivalent. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

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

A: The 76RSB06S is obsolete, while the 76RSB06ST is active. The 76RSB06ST also achieves RoHS3 compliance, whereas the 76RSB06S is RoHS non-compliant. Packaging differs: the 76RSB06S uses bulk packaging, and the 76RSB06ST uses tube packaging.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the 76RSB06S and 76RSB06ST?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications: 150mA current rating, 30VDC voltage rating, SPST circuit configuration, 6 positions, 2,000 cycle electrical life, and gold-plated copper alloy contacts.

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

A: No. Packaging format (bulk versus tube) affects handling, storage, and assembly logistics but does not alter electrical or mechanical performance. Component functionality and PCB mounting are identical regardless of packaging type.

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

A: The 76RSB06ST should be selected for new designs. It maintains active product status, ensures long-term manufacturer support, achieves RoHS3 compliance for regulatory alignment, and demonstrates superior inventory availability.

Q: Is the 76RSB06ST suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. The 76RSB06ST is RoHS3 compliant and is appropriate for applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements. The 76RSB06S is RoHS non-compliant and is not suitable for such applications.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 76RSB06S and 76RSB06ST operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and maintain equivalent mechanical and electrical life specifications of 2,000 cycles.
