Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Grayhill 97R06SR DIP Switch

Part Overview

The Grayhill 97R06SR is a surface mount DIP switch featuring SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) configuration with 6 positions, rated for 25mA at 24VDC. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The 97R06SR maintains standard slide actuator operation with flush, recessed positioning and gold-plated copper alloy contacts suitable for washable applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Grayhill 97R06SR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Circuit configuration (SPST), number of positions (6), current rating (25mA), and voltage rating (24VDC) must remain identical. These parameters define the functional electrical behavior within the circuit.

Mechanical Parameters: Actuator type (Slide Standard), mounting type (Surface Mount), termination style (Gull Wing), pitch (0.050" Half), and physical dimensions (height 0.061", length 0.348") must match to ensure PCB compatibility and assembly feasibility.

Material and Environmental Parameters: Contact material (Copper Alloy), contact finish (Gold), body material (Polyamide/Nylon), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), and washability must be maintained for reliability and process compatibility.

The 97R06SRT qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all specified parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the 97R06SR is obsolete while the 97R06SRT is active, and RoHS compliance status differs (non-compliant versus ROHS3 compliant).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 97R06SRT is the direct functional equivalent of the 97R06SR. Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory and procurement requirements rather than electrical or mechanical performance.

For new designs and ongoing production: The 97R06SRT is the appropriate selection. This part is active in the product lifecycle and carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components in most jurisdictions. The active status ensures continued manufacturer support and supply chain availability.

For legacy system maintenance: The 97R06SR remains functionally valid where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and existing inventory is available. However, procurement of new stock is limited due to obsolete status.

Compliance consideration: If the application requires RoHS3 compliance, the 97R06SRT is mandatory. If RoHS compliance is not a requirement, both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 97R06SRT directly replace the 97R06SR in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 97R06SRT is electrically and mechanically identical to the 97R06SR across all specified parameters including circuit configuration, electrical ratings, physical dimensions, and material composition. Direct substitution on PCBs designed for the 97R06SR is feasible without design modification.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and RoHS compliance. The 97R06SR is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 97R06SRT is active and ROHS3 compliant. All functional and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect compatibility?

A: Packaging format (tape seal versus bulk) affects procurement and handling but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance. Both parts are surface mount components with identical footprints and solder joint requirements.

Q: Are there any performance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (25mA, 24VDC, SPST 6-position), mechanical life (1,000 cycles), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), and physical dimensions. Performance in circuit operation is equivalent.

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: The 97R06SRT should be specified for new designs. Active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturer support. ROHS3 compliance aligns with current regulatory standards and reduces future compliance risk.

Q: Is the 97R06SR still available for purchase?

A: The 97R06SR is classified as obsolete. While existing inventory may be available through component distributors, procurement of new stock from the manufacturer is not supported. The 97R06SRT is the recommended alternative for ongoing supply.
