Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 90MB06S is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPST)
• Number of positions (6)
• Current rating (25mA)
• Voltage rating (24VDC)
• Actuator type (Slide, Standard)
• Actuator level (Flush, Recessed)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Height above board (0.195" / 4.95mm)
• Contact material (Copper Alloy)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C)
• Mechanical and electrical life (2,000 Cycles)

The substitute part 90B06ST meets all mandatory matching parameters and belongs to the same Grayhill 90B series. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification level.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs and Production:

The 90B06ST is the appropriate selection for new applications. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the 90MB06S while offering Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The 90B06ST carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components in most jurisdictions.

For Maintenance and Repair of Existing Equipment:

The 90MB06S remains functionally suitable for direct replacement in systems already deployed with this component. The 90MB06S is currently in stock (1131 pieces available). However, for future maintenance cycles, transition planning to the 90B06ST is recommended due to the Obsolete status of the 90MB06S.

Compliance Considerations:

The 90B06ST provides improved moisture sensitivity performance (MSL 1 vs. MSL 3), offering superior reliability in storage and handling environments. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected and EAR99 ECCN classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 90B06ST directly replace the 90MB06S in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. The 90B06ST is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 90MB06S across all functional parameters: SPST circuit, 6 positions, 25mA/24VDC rating, slide actuator, through-hole mounting, and identical physical dimensions. No circuit redesign is required.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from 90MB06S to 90B06ST?

A: The 90MB06S carries Obsolete product status, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability. The 90B06ST is an Active product from the same manufacturer and series, ensuring continued supply and support.

Q: Are there differences in reliability or performance between these parts?

A: Both parts specify identical mechanical life (2,000 cycles) and electrical life (2,000 cycles). The 90B06ST offers improved moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1 vs. MSL 3), providing better performance in humid storage and handling conditions.

Q: Does the 90B06ST meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The 90B06ST is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current European Union and equivalent regulatory standards for electronic components. The 90MB06S is RoHS non-compliant and does not meet these requirements.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The 90B06ST is supplied in Tube packaging. The 90MB06S packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement or assembly process specifications.

Q: Are both parts available for immediate purchase?

A: Yes. Both the 90MB06S (1131 pieces) and 90B06ST (1118 pieces) are listed as New Original In Stock. Verify current inventory status with your component supplier.

Q: Can I use the 90B06ST in applications originally designed for the 90MB06S?

A: Yes. Full functional and mechanical compatibility is confirmed. The 90B06ST is suitable for retrofit, repair, and replacement applications in systems originally specified with the 90MB06S.
