Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CD08RM0SK is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the C&K CD series rotary DIP switch family. The substitute part CD08RM0SB maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters: 8-position octal configuration, 0.4VA current rating, 20VAC/DC voltage rating, rotary tool actuator, surface mount termination, copper alloy gold-plated contacts, and identical mechanical dimensions and life ratings.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and compliance certification. The CD08RM0SK is obsolete, while CD08RM0SB is active production. Additionally, CD08RM0SB carries RoHS3 compliance, whereas CD08RM0SK is RoHS non-compliant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CD08RM0SB is the direct substitute for CD08RM0SK. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with identical pinout, footprint, and performance characteristics. Selection between these parts is determined by compliance and availability requirements.

For new designs or production requiring regulatory compliance, CD08RM0SB is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and RoHS3 compliance certification. CD08RM0SB is currently in active production with 2706 units in stock inventory.

For legacy system support or field replacement of existing CD08RM0SK installations, CD08RM0SB provides full functional and physical compatibility without design modification or PCB rework.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CD08RM0SB be used as a direct replacement for CD08RM0SK without PCB modification?

A: Yes. CD08RM0SB is physically and electrically identical to CD08RM0SK. Identical footprint, pitch, height, and termination style allow direct substitution without PCB redesign or component rework.
