DA06T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DA06T is a DIP slide switch manufactured by APEM Inc., configured as a single-pole single-throw (SPST) switch with 6 positions. It is rated for 50mA at 24VDC and features a through-hole, right-angle mounting with a raised slide actuator. The DA06T is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DA06T is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Must be SPST
• Number of Positions: Must be 6
• Voltage Rating: Must be 24VDC
• Mounting Type: Must be through-hole, right-angle
• Pitch: Must be 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Height Above Board: Must be 0.390" (9.90mm)
• Termination Style: Must be PC Pin
• Actuator Type: Must be slide (standard) with raised level

Current rating is a secondary consideration; substitute parts rated at 25mA are acceptable for applications where the DA06T's 50mA rating is not required. All identified substitutes meet the primary electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

NDA-06T-V (APEM Inc.): This substitute maintains APEM Inc. manufacturer continuity and is classified as active product status. It is mechanically and electrically compatible with the DA06T across all primary parameters. The reduced current rating of 25mA versus 50mA is acceptable for applications not requiring the higher current capacity. ROHS3 compliance and identical operating temperature range support direct substitution in equivalent circuit designs.

KAS2106E (E-Switch): This substitute provides cross-manufacturer compatibility from E-Switch and is classified as active product status. It meets all mechanical and electrical compatibility requirements. The extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) provides broader environmental tolerance compared to the DA06T. ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical life rating support substitution in applications where the DA06T's 50mA rating is not required. The absence of washable designation should be verified against application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NDA-06T-V replace the DA06T in all applications?

A: The NDA-06T-V is mechanically and electrically compatible with the DA06T. However, the current rating is reduced from 50mA to 25mA. Substitution is valid only for applications where the circuit current does not exceed 25mA at 24VDC.

Q: What is the primary difference between the KAS2106E and the DA06T?

A: The KAS2106E is manufactured by E-Switch rather than APEM Inc. and has a reduced current rating of 25mA. The KAS2106E offers an extended operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C compared to the DA06T's -20°C to 70°C. All other mechanical and electrical parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes?

A: The DA06T is supplied without specified packaging. The NDA-06T-V and KAS2106E are both supplied in tube packaging. Verify tube quantity and handling requirements with procurement specifications.

Q: Do all three parts have identical pitch and mounting footprints?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), height above board (0.390" / 9.90mm), and through-hole right-angle mounting configuration. PCB layout modifications are not required for substitution.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these substitutes?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. MSL rating is 1 (unlimited) for all parts.
