C&K D6 C 00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K D6 C 00 is a pushbutton switch with SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) circuit configuration, rated for 100mA DC at 32V. This through-hole keyswitch features tactile feedback and is designed for applications requiring momentary contact switching. The D6 C 00 is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts that maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for continued system support and new designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete D6 C 00 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPST-NO
• Current rating: 100mA DC
• Voltage rating: 32V DC
• Switch function: Off-Mom (momentary contact)
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Actuator type: Square Button
• Operating temperature range: -20°C to 85°C
• Electrical life: 250,000 cycles
• Tactile feedback feature

All substitute parts maintain these specifications. Variations in actuator color and product status (active vs. obsolete) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The D6 series architecture ensures pin-for-pin and functional equivalence across all listed substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts—D6C00 F2 LFS, D6C10 F1 LFS, and D6C10 F2 LFS—are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the obsolete D6 C 00. Selection among these active alternatives should be based on the following criteria:

Product Status: All substitutes carry Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturing support compared to the obsolete original part.

Compliance Certifications: All substitutes meet ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, satisfying current regulatory requirements for electronic components in most jurisdictions.

Actuator Color Differentiation: The D6C00 F2 LFS maintains white actuator coloring identical to the original D6 C 00, providing visual consistency in existing designs. The D6C10 F1 LFS and D6C10 F2 LFS feature gray actuators and may be selected where color differentiation is functionally required or preferred for user interface design.

Packaging and Inventory: All substitutes are supplied in Tray packaging. Inventory availability should be verified based on project lead times and volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the D6C00 F2 LFS, D6C10 F1 LFS, and D6C10 F2 LFS parts pin-for-pin compatible with the D6 C 00?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical PC Pin termination style, through-hole mounting configuration, and electrical specifications. Direct substitution is supported without circuit board redesign.

Q: Does actuator color affect electrical performance or switching characteristics?

A: No. Actuator color is a cosmetic parameter only. The white actuator (D6C00 F2 LFS) and gray actuators (D6C10 F1 LFS, D6C10 F2 LFS) perform identically in all electrical and mechanical functions.

Q: What is the difference between D6C10 F1 LFS and D6C10 F2 LFS?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The designation difference reflects manufacturing or packaging variants within the D6C10 base product line. Both are functionally equivalent substitutes for the D6 C 00.

Q: Can I use these substitutes in new designs, or are they only for legacy system replacement?

A: These parts are suitable for both legacy system replacement and new designs. All substitutes carry Active product status and meet current RoHS3 and REACH compliance requirements.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental limitations I should consider when substituting?

A: No. All substitute parts maintain the identical operating temperature range (-20°C to 85°C), moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited), and environmental specifications as the original D6 C 00.

Q: What is the electrical life expectancy for these switches?

A: All parts, including substitutes, are rated for 250,000 electrical cycles under specified operating conditions (100mA DC at 32V, momentary contact operation).
