Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 76RSB10 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Circuit configuration (SPST)
• Current rating (150mA)
• Voltage rating (30VDC)
• Number of positions (10)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Actuator type (Rocker)
• Actuator level (Flush, Recessed)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Height above board (0.292" / 7.41mm)

Material & Environmental Specifications:

• Contact material (Copper Alloy)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C)
• Mechanical and electrical life (2,000 Cycles)

The 76RSB10T qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and material specifications while offering improved product status and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 76RSB10T is the direct substitute for the obsolete 76RSB10. Both components are manufactured by Grayhill Inc. within the same 76 series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Advantages of 76RSB10T:

The 76RSB10T offers ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs and production environments subject to RoHS directives. The 76RSB10 is RoHS non-compliant and unsuitable for applications requiring regulatory adherence.

Both components share identical circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, actuator characteristics, mounting specifications, and environmental operating parameters. The 76RSB10T is currently in active production status, ensuring supply chain availability and long-term component sourcing reliability.

The 76RSB10T is supplied in tube packaging, whereas the 76RSB10 was supplied in bulk packaging. This packaging difference does not affect functional or mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76RSB10T be used as a direct replacement for the 76RSB10?

A: Yes. The 76RSB10T is a direct substitute. Both components share identical electrical ratings (150mA, 30VDC, SPST), mechanical dimensions (0.292" height, 0.100" pitch), actuator configuration (rocker, flush/recessed), and material specifications (copper alloy contacts with gold finish). The 76RSB10T is the active production equivalent of the obsolete 76RSB10.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 76RSB10 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 76RSB10T is in active production and ROHS3 compliant. Packaging differs (bulk versus tube), but this does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both components have identical height above board (0.292" / 7.41mm), length (1.080" / 27.43mm), and pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm). They are mechanically interchangeable in PCB layouts.

Q: Does the 76RSB10T meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The 76RSB10T is ROHS3 compliant. The 76RSB10 is RoHS non-compliant and should not be used in applications requiring RoHS certification.

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

A: Both the 76RSB10 and 76RSB10T operate across -40°C to 85°C. Temperature specifications are identical.

Q: Are the electrical and mechanical life ratings the same?

A: Yes. Both components are rated for 2,000 mechanical cycles and 2,000 electrical cycles.

Q: Does packaging affect compatibility?

A: No. The 76RSB10T is supplied in tube packaging while the 76RSB10 was supplied in bulk. Packaging is a logistics consideration only and does not affect component functionality or PCB mounting.
