DA06 DIP Switch SPST 24V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DA06 is a 6-position DIP switch manufactured by APEM Inc., configured as a single-pole single-throw (SPST) switch rated for 50mA at 24VDC. This component features a through-hole, right-angle mounting configuration with a slide actuator and gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts. The DA06 is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DA06 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Must be SPST to maintain functional equivalence
• Number of Positions: Must be 6 to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Voltage Rating: Must support 24VDC operation
• Actuator Type: Must be slide (standard) to match user interface requirements
• Mounting Type: Must be through-hole, right-angle to fit existing PCB layouts
• Pitch: Must be 0.100" (2.54mm) for footprint compatibility
• Height Above Board: Must be 0.390" (9.90mm) to maintain clearance specifications

The NDA06V qualifies as a substitute part because it matches all critical parameters. However, the current rating differs: the NDA06V is rated for 25mA versus the DA06's 50mA. This represents a reduction in maximum current capacity and must be evaluated against actual circuit requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The NDA06V is the qualified substitute for the DA06. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. The NDA06V holds active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete DA06.

The primary consideration for substitution is the current rating differential. The NDA06V supports 25mA maximum current versus the DA06's 50mA rating. Selection of the NDA06V is appropriate when circuit current requirements do not exceed 25mA. For applications requiring current capacity above 25mA, alternative components outside the provided substitute list must be evaluated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NDA06V directly replace the DA06 in all applications?

A: The NDA06V is mechanically and electrically compatible with the DA06 for footprint and interface requirements. However, the reduced current rating of 25mA versus 50mA must be verified against actual circuit current draw. Substitution is valid only when circuit current remains below 25mA.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The DA06 is supplied in standard packaging, while the NDA06V is supplied in tube packaging. Both are suitable for through-hole assembly processes.

Q: Why is the DA06 listed as obsolete?

A: The DA06 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The NDA06V represents the active product line continuation from APEM Inc. for this switch category.

Q: Are there any differences in mechanical life between the two parts?

A: The DA06 specifies 5,000 mechanical cycles. The NDA06V does not provide a mechanical life specification in the available data. Both components specify 2,000 electrical cycles.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the DA06 and NDA06V are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
