• Identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Identical height above board (0.292" / 7.41mm)
• Identical termination style (PC Pin)

Environmental Specifications:

• Identical operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C)
• Identical mechanical life rating (2,000 Cycles)
• Identical electrical life rating (2,000 Cycles)

Material and Construction:

• Identical contact material (Copper Alloy)
• Identical contact finish (Gold)
• Identical body material (Thermoplastic)
• Identical washable feature

The substitution is valid for all applications where the 76RSB07S was originally specified, with no circuit redesign or board layout modifications required.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs and Redesigns: The 76RSB07ST is the recommended selection. This part carries Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The 76RSB07ST achieves ROHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components in most jurisdictions.

For Existing Inventory Management: The 76RSB07S remains functionally equivalent for applications already in production. However, transition planning to the 76RSB07ST is advisable to align with regulatory compliance standards and secure future component availability.

Compliance Considerations: The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory status. The 76RSB07ST's ROHS3 compliance provides advantage for products subject to RoHS directives in the European Union and equivalent regulations in other markets. Both parts maintain identical REACH and ECCN classifications.

Packaging and Logistics: The 76RSB07ST is supplied in Tube packaging, whereas the 76RSB07S uses bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your assembly process and inventory management systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76RSB07ST be used as a direct replacement for the 76RSB07S without circuit modifications?

A: Yes. All electrical parameters (current rating, voltage rating, circuit configuration) and mechanical parameters (pitch, height, mounting type) are identical. No circuit redesign or PCB layout changes are required.

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

A: The 76RSB07ST meets ROHS3 standards, restricting hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The 76RSB07S does not meet this standard. For products destined for EU markets or subject to equivalent regulations, the 76RSB07ST is the appropriate choice.

Q: Are the actuator characteristics identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature rocker actuators with flush, recessed levels. Operating feel, actuation force, and mechanical life (2,000 cycles) are identical.

Q: Does packaging affect electrical or mechanical performance?

A: No. The Tube packaging of the 76RSB07ST and bulk packaging of the 76RSB07S do not affect component performance. Packaging selection should be based on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Are both parts suitable for washable applications?

A: Yes. Both the 76RSB07S and 76RSB07ST are rated as washable and feature Tape Seal construction, supporting cleaning processes in manufacturing environments.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both parts operate across -40°C to 85°C, supporting applications in industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics environments within this thermal range.

Q: Is there a difference in contact reliability between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use identical contact materials (Copper Alloy) with gold finish, and both specify 2,000 cycles of electrical life, indicating equivalent contact reliability and durability.
