BP06YT DIP Switch SPST 6 Position Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BP06YT is a slide actuator DIP switch manufactured by C&K, configured as a single-pole single-throw (SPST) switch with 6 positions. It is rated for 100mA at 5VDC and features through-hole, right-angle mounting with PC pin termination. The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the BP06YT is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Must be SPST
• Number of Positions: Must be 6
• Mounting Type: Must be through-hole, right-angle
• Pitch: Must be 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Termination Style: Must be PC pin
• Electrical Ratings: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed the application requirements

The substitute parts listed below maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters, ensuring PCB compatibility and functional equivalence within their respective electrical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

BPA06B (C&K): This substitute maintains identical electrical specifications (100mA, 5VDC) and is the direct functional equivalent. It features an active product status with extended operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 85°C) and ROHS3 compliance. The piano actuator differs from the slide actuator of the main part, requiring mechanical space verification on the PCB. This is the preferred substitute for applications requiring exact electrical performance matching.

195-6MST (CTS Electrocomponents): This substitute is suitable only for applications where the current requirement does not exceed 50mA. It operates at 24VDC, making it applicable to different voltage domains. It offers extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), higher electrical life (2,000 cycles), and ROHS3 compliance. Selection of this part requires confirmation that the application voltage and current specifications are compatible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BPA06B be used as a direct replacement for BP06YT?

A: BPA06B maintains the same circuit configuration (SPST), position count (6), current rating (100mA), voltage rating (5VDC), mounting type (through-hole, right-angle), pitch (2.54mm), and termination style (PC pin). The primary difference is the actuator type (piano vs. slide). Mechanical clearance on the PCB must be verified, as the BPA06B height is 0.287" compared to the BP06YT height of 0.315".

Q: Is 195-6MST compatible with BP06YT applications?

A: 195-6MST shares the same circuit configuration, position count, mounting type, pitch, and termination style. However, it is rated for 50mA at 24VDC, whereas BP06YT is rated for 100mA at 5VDC. This substitute is only compatible with applications operating at 24VDC with current requirements not exceeding 50mA.

Q: What are the packaging differences between these parts?

A: BP06YT is supplied in standard packaging. BPA06B and 195-6MST are both supplied in tube packaging, which may affect procurement quantities and handling procedures.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. BP06YT is RoHS Compliant. BPA06B and 195-6MST are both ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current regulatory standards.

Q: What is the difference between slide and piano actuators?

A: The BP06YT uses a slide (standard) actuator, while BPA06B and 195-6MST use piano actuators. These are different mechanical actuation mechanisms. Slide actuators typically require linear motion, while piano actuators use a rocker or lever mechanism. PCB layout and user interface design must accommodate the selected actuator type.
