Grayhill 76SB07S DIP Switch Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Grayhill 76SB07S is a rocker-actuated DIP switch with SPST circuit configuration, rated for 150mA at 30VDC. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The 76SB07S features a 7-position through-hole configuration with gold-plated copper alloy contacts, designed for applications requiring reliable switching in industrial and commercial environments.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 76SB07S is determined by the following critical parameters: circuit type (SPST), number of positions (7), mounting configuration (through-hole with 0.100" pitch), and physical form factor compatibility. The substitute parts identified maintain these core electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Primary Substitute (Direct Equivalent): The 76SB07ST from Grayhill Inc. is a direct functional equivalent with identical electrical ratings (150mA, 30VDC), circuit configuration (SPST, 7-position), and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status and RoHS compliance.

Secondary Substitute (Functional Alternative): The 206-7ST from CTS Electrocomponents shares the same circuit type (SPST), position count (7), and through-hole mounting configuration. However, this part operates at reduced current (50mA) and voltage (24VDC) ratings, with a different actuator type (slide vs. rocker).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Preferred): The 76SB07ST is the recommended substitute for the obsolete 76SB07S. Both parts are manufactured by Grayhill Inc. and maintain identical electrical specifications (150mA, 30VDC), circuit configuration (SPST, 7-position), and mechanical form factor. The 76SB07ST is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements that the original part does not meet. This substitution requires no circuit redesign or board layout modification.

For Functional Alternative (Conditional): The 206-7ST from CTS Electrocomponents is suitable only when application requirements permit reduced electrical ratings. This part operates at 50mA maximum current and 24VDC maximum voltage, representing a 67% reduction in current capacity and 20% reduction in voltage rating compared to the 76SB07S. The 206-7ST features a slide actuator instead of rocker, altering the user interface. This substitute is appropriate for low-power applications where the reduced ratings are acceptable and where actuator type change does not impact system design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76SB07ST directly replace the 76SB07S without circuit modification?

A: Yes. The 76SB07ST maintains identical electrical ratings (150mA, 30VDC), SPST circuit configuration, 7-position count, and through-hole mounting with 0.100" pitch. No circuit redesign is required. The primary difference is product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance (ROHS3 vs. non-compliant).

Q: What are the limitations of using the 206-7ST as a substitute?

A: The 206-7ST operates at reduced electrical ratings: 50mA maximum current (vs. 150mA) and 24VDC maximum voltage (vs. 30VDC). Additionally, it uses a slide actuator instead of rocker, changing the mechanical interface. Use this substitute only when application requirements accommodate these reductions and when actuator type change is acceptable.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the 76SB07S and 76SB07ST?

A: The 76SB07S is packaged in tape seal configuration, while the 76SB07ST is supplied in tube packaging. Both use identical through-hole termination and pitch specifications. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Does the 206-7ST offer any advantages over the 76SB07ST?

A: The 206-7ST provides extended electrical life (10,000 cycles vs. 2,000 cycles) and wider operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C vs. -40°C to 85°C). However, these advantages are offset by reduced current and voltage ratings, making this part suitable only for applications with lower power requirements.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to each substitute?

A: The 76SB07ST and 206-7ST are both ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The original 76SB07S is RoHS non-compliant. All three parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and 8536.50.9065 HTSUS code.
