DA05TN Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DA05TN is a DIP slide switch manufactured by APEM Inc., featuring a single-pole single-throw (SPST) circuit configuration with 5 positions. This component is rated for 50mA at 24VDC and utilizes a through-hole, right-angle mounting design with a standard slide actuator. The DA05TN is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute components for the DA05TN must maintain compatibility across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: SPST topology required
• Number of Positions: 5-position configuration
• Voltage Rating: 24VDC minimum
• Mounting Interface: Through-hole, right-angle orientation with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch
• Physical Envelope: Height above board of 0.390" (9.90mm) and comparable length dimensions
• Actuator Style: Standard slide actuator with raised level
• Termination: PC pin termination
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The NDA-05T-V qualifies as a substitute based on these parameters. However, the current rating differs between the main part and substitute, which must be evaluated against application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The NDA-05T-V from APEM Inc. serves as an active substitute for the obsolete DA05TN. Both components maintain identical mechanical interfaces, electrical circuit topology, and compliance certifications. The NDA-05T-V is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The primary distinction between these components is the current rating: the DA05TN is rated for 50mA, while the NDA-05T-V is rated for 25mA. Selection between these parts must be determined by the actual current requirements of the application. If the application circuit draws 25mA or less, the NDA-05T-V provides a direct functional replacement. If the application requires current handling above 25mA, alternative components outside this substitute group must be evaluated.

Both components carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting modern regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NDA-05T-V directly replace the DA05TN in existing designs?

A: The NDA-05T-V provides mechanical and electrical interface compatibility with the DA05TN. However, the reduced current rating of 25mA versus 50mA must be verified against the application's actual current draw before implementation.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the DA05TN?

A: The DA05TN is classified as obsolete. The NDA-05T-V is an active product from the same manufacturer, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Both components share the same height above board (0.390" / 9.90mm), pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), and through-hole right-angle mounting configuration. The NDA-05T-V length is 0.550" (13.97mm) compared to the DA05TN at 0.559" (14.20mm), a negligible difference that does not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the DA05TN and NDA-05T-V are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement and use.

Q: What is the electrical life specification for these components?

A: Both the DA05TN and NDA-05T-V are rated for 2,000 electrical cycles, providing equivalent operational durability in switching applications.
