DA05T Equivalent & Substitute Parts Engineering Reference

Part Overview

APEM Inc. DA05T is a DIP slide switch with single-pole single-throw (SPST) configuration and five positions. It features a through-hole, right-angle mounting style and utilizes a slide (standard) actuator. The DA05T DIP switch is RoHS3 compliant, incorporates gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts, and is housed in a glass-filled PBT body. The part is designated as obsolete, making it necessary to locate equivalent or substitute models to ensure ongoing design continuity or field maintenance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute part grouping is defined strictly by the following key operational, mechanical, and regulatory parameters:

• Circuit type (SPST)
• Number of positions (5)
• Current rating
• Voltage rating
• Actuator type (Slide, Standard)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Dimensions (height above board, body material, length)
• RoHS/REACH compliance and MSL
• Operating temperature range

Substitutes listed match these essential parameters, indicating suitability for equivalent function in systems originally designed for DA05T.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DA05T (APEM Inc.) is obsolete. KAS2105E (E-Switch) is RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and has the same mounting and dimensional parameters. KAS2105E is in active production and possesses equivalent certifications and regulatory status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the essential parameters for selecting a substitute for DA05T?
A1: Essential parameters include circuit type (SPST), number of positions (5), mounting type (through hole, right angle), termination style (PC pin), pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), contact material and finish, and regulatory compliance (RoHS3, REACH).

Q2: Does the KAS2105E match the DA05T in physical footprint?
A2: KAS2105E features the same mounting type, pitch, height above board, and similar body length, ensuring mechanical compatibility with layouts designed for DA05T.

Q3: Are there differences in electrical specifications to consider?
A3: The main difference is current rating: DA05T is rated for 50mA, KAS2105E for 25mA. Voltage rating is identical at 24VDC.

Q4: Are solderability and cleaning characteristics equivalent?
A4: Both parts utilize gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts and have identical termination styles. Washability differs; DA05T is washable, KAS2105E is not.

Q5: Does regulatory and compliance status match?
A5: Both DA05T and KAS2105E are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and MSL 1 (Unlimited).

Q6: How does availability impact selection?
A6: DA05T is obsolete, while KAS2105E is actively manufactured and stocked.
