D6 C 10 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The D6 C 10 is a pushbutton switch manufactured by C&K, classified as SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) with a keyswitch type actuator. This component is rated for 0.1A at 32V DC and features tactile feedback with a square gray button actuator. The part is currently listed as obsolete, which necessitates identification of equivalent active alternatives that maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for direct circuit substitution.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the D6 C 10 is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters define valid substitutes:

• Circuit configuration: SPST-NO
• Current rating: 100mA DC
• Voltage rating: 32V DC
• Actuator type: Square button
• Actuator color: Gray
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Switch function: Off-Mom (Momentary)
• Tactile feedback: Present
• Electrical life: 250,000 cycles
• Operating temperature: -20°C to 85°C
• RoHS compliance: Required

Both substitute parts (D6C10 F1 LFS and D6C10 F2 LFS) meet all these criteria and are derived from the same D6C10 base product number, differing only in packaging configuration and product status (both active versus obsolete).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both D6C10 F1 LFS and D6C10 F2 LFS are direct functional equivalents to the obsolete D6 C 10. Selection between these two active alternatives should be based on inventory availability and procurement requirements:

D6C10 F1 LFS is available with 897 pieces in stock and provides a direct replacement path for applications currently using the D6 C 10.

D6C10 F2 LFS is available with 4911 pieces in stock, offering greater inventory availability for high-volume procurement or long-term supply assurance.

Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance, which exceeds the original RoHS compliance of the D6 C 10, ensuring compatibility with current environmental regulations. Both maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical specifications, and operating characteristics. The choice between F1 and F2 variants does not affect circuit functionality or performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can D6C10 F1 LFS and D6C10 F2 LFS be used interchangeably with D6 C 10?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical to the D6 C 10 across all specified parameters, including circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, actuator type, mounting method, and operating temperature range. They are direct substitutes suitable for PCB assembly and circuit replacement.

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

A: The two parts are functionally identical. The difference lies in packaging configuration (both supplied in trays) and inventory levels. D6C10 F2 LFS has significantly higher stock availability (4911 pieces versus 897 pieces).

Q: Why is the original D6 C 10 listed as obsolete?

A: The D6 C 10 has been superseded by the active D6C10 F1 LFS and D6C10 F2 LFS variants. These newer part numbers maintain full compatibility while offering improved compliance status and continued manufacturing support.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the original part and the substitutes?

A: The original D6 C 10 carries RoHS compliance status. Both substitute parts (D6C10 F1 LFS and D6C10 F2 LFS) carry ROHS3 compliance, which represents an enhanced environmental compliance standard. Both are REACH Unaffected and carry EAR99 ECCN classification.

Q: Can these parts be used in new designs?

A: D6C10 F1 LFS and D6C10 F2 LFS are active products and are suitable for new designs. The original D6 C 10 should not be specified for new designs due to its obsolete status.

Q: What is the packaging format for the substitute parts?

A: Both D6C10 F1 LFS and D6C10 F2 LFS are supplied in tray packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes and bulk procurement.
