Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Grayhill 76RSB07 DIP Switch

Part Overview

The Grayhill 76RSB07 is a single-pole single-throw (SPST) rocker DIP switch designed for through-hole mounting applications requiring 150mA at 30VDC switching capability. This component features a 7-position configuration with flush-recessed rocker actuator and gold-plated copper alloy contacts. The 76RSB07 is classified as obsolete product status, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for new designs and ongoing production support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 76RSB07 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Circuit configuration (SPST), number of positions (7), current rating (150mA), and voltage rating (30VDC) must be identical. Contact material (copper alloy) and contact finish (gold) ensure equivalent electrical performance and reliability.

Mechanical Parameters: Actuator type (rocker) and actuator level (flush, recessed) must match to ensure functional compatibility within the same mechanical envelope. Mounting type (through hole), pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), and height above board (0.292"/7.41mm) are critical for PCB layout compatibility.

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

The 76RSB07T qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete parameter alignment across all electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 76RSB07T is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 76RSB07. All electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters are identical, ensuring drop-in compatibility in existing designs.

Product Status Consideration: The 76RSB07 is classified as obsolete, while the 76RSB07T maintains active product status. For new designs and ongoing production, the 76RSB07T is the appropriate selection to ensure long-term component availability and supply chain continuity.

Regulatory Compliance: The 76RSB07T achieves RoHS3 compliance, whereas the 76RSB07 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or customer requirements mandating RoHS compliance, the 76RSB07T satisfies these regulatory requirements. Both parts maintain identical REACH unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Packaging Difference: The 76RSB07T is supplied in tube packaging, compared to the main part's unspecified packaging. This packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance and is a standard distribution format for this component category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76RSB07T be used as a direct replacement for the 76RSB07 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. The 76RSB07T is electrically and mechanically identical to the 76RSB07. All critical parameters including circuit configuration, current/voltage ratings, actuator type, mounting dimensions, and pitch are equivalent. No PCB layout modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the 76RSB07 with the 76RSB07T?

A: The 76RSB07 is classified as obsolete product status. The 76RSB07T is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer (Grayhill Inc.) and series (76), ensuring continued component availability for production and new designs.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 76RSB07T is RoHS3 compliant, while the 76RSB07 is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts maintain identical REACH unaffected status. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 76RSB07T is the appropriate selection.

Q: Does the tube packaging of the 76RSB07T affect its performance compared to the 76RSB07?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Tube packaging is a standard distribution method for DIP switches and does not impact component functionality, reliability, or compatibility.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between the 76RSB07 and 76RSB07T?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical SPST circuit configuration, 7-position design, 150mA current rating, 30VDC voltage rating, copper alloy contacts with gold finish, and 2,000-cycle mechanical and electrical life ratings.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility for this DIP switch?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by equivalence in circuit configuration (SPST), number of positions (7), current rating (150mA), voltage rating (30VDC), actuator type (rocker), mounting type (through hole), pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), height above board (0.292"/7.41mm), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C).
