DMR05T DIP Switch Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DMR05T is a surface mount DIP switch manufactured by APEM Inc., designed for applications requiring reliable switching control in compact form factors. This SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) switch features 5 positions with a slide actuator, rated for 25mA at 24VDC operation. The product is currently active in production with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and environmental ratings are required for design flexibility, supply chain alternatives, or inventory optimization.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DMR05T is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Circuit configuration must remain SPST with identical switching function. The number of positions must equal 5 to maintain pin-out compatibility. Current and voltage ratings must match or exceed 25mA at 24VDC to ensure safe operation within the same electrical envelope. Actuator type must be slide-based with flush or recessed actuation level to preserve mechanical interface compatibility. Surface mount mounting type with gull wing termination and 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch are mandatory for PCB footprint alignment. Operating temperature range must encompass -20°C to 85°C minimum. Mechanical and electrical life ratings must meet or exceed 2,000 cycles. RoHS3 compliance and unlimited MSL rating ensure regulatory and environmental compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the DMR05T and KAE05TGGT are active production parts with identical electrical specifications and regulatory compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time, and supply chain requirements. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility across all markets. The minimal dimensional variance (0.002" height difference) is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not impact functional performance or mechanical fit. Either part is suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 5-position DIP switches with 25mA/24VDC ratings and surface mount gull wing termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can KAE05TGGT replace DMR05T in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (25mA, 24VDC, SPST, 5 positions), actuator type (slide standard), mounting configuration (surface mount, gull wing, 0.100" pitch), and environmental specifications (-20°C to 85°C). The 0.002" height difference is within standard assembly tolerances.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts? A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry unlimited MSL rating (1). Regulatory and environmental compatibility is identical.

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for DMR05T? A: Substitution requires equivalence in circuit configuration (SPST), position count (5), current/voltage ratings (25mA/24VDC), actuator type (slide standard), mounting type (surface mount), pitch (0.100"), and operating temperature range (-20°C to 85°C). Mechanical and electrical life must meet or exceed 2,000 cycles.

Q: Does contact material affect substitution eligibility? A: Contact material differences (copper alloy vs. copper) do not prevent substitution when both parts maintain gold finish and equivalent electrical performance at rated specifications.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for these parts? A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging. Standard handling and storage procedures for surface mount components apply to both alternatives.
