Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference for DMR08

Part Overview

The DMR08 (Manufacturer Part Number: DMR08; Manufacturer: APEM Inc.) is a surface mount, 8-position SPST DIP slide switch rated for 25mA at 24VDC, featuring gold-over-copper contacts, flush/recessed slide actuator, gull wing termination, and a RoHS3-compliant design. The product is currently active and stocked as a new original part. Identifying alternative models with strictly matched parameters is necessary for cross-reference tasks in electronic design, continuity of production, and inventory management, particularly in scenarios where primary stock is limited or alternate sourcing is required due to supply chain dynamics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the DMR08 is based strictly on the following matched parameters: circuit type (SPST), number of positions (8), current rating (25mA), voltage rating (24VDC), actuator type (slide—standard), actuator level (flush, recessed), mounting type (surface mount), termination style (gull wing), pitch (0.100" or 2.54mm), electrical and mechanical life (2,000 cycles), RoHS3 compliance status, and MSL rating (1, unlimited). Only parts meeting all these defined criteria are listed as substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both DMR08 and KAE08TGGT are active components and ROHS3 compliant with unrestricted Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1). Both meet REACH and ECCN regulatory requirements. Stock levels are provided for direct inventory decisions. All electrical, mechanical, and regulatory features are established in the input data and should be matched to the full specification before selection in designs requiring strict compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What parameters must match for DIP slide switch substitution?
A1: Circuit type (SPST), number of positions (8), current rating, voltage rating, actuator style, termination method, mounting, pitch, life cycle ratings, RoHS/REACH status, and moisture sensitivity must be strictly matched based on provided values.

Q2: Do both DMR08 and KAE08TGGT use the same package and termination style?
A2: Both utilize surface mount with gull wing termination and 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch as specified.

Q3: Is there a difference in lifecycle or compliance between the parts?
A3: Both meet the same mechanical and electrical life cycles (2,000 cycles) and are RoHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected status.

Q4: Is washability a differentiator in substitution?
A4: The washability feature differs between DMR08 ("No") and KAE08TGGT ("Yes"), however all other substitution parameters strictly match as per the provided data.

Q5: Are the height and length dimensions compatible for direct physical replacement?
A5: Height above board and length for both parts are within very close values necessary for compatible mounting, based on the specified figures.

Q6: How is inventory relevant for substitute selection?
A6: Provided inventory counts allow for immediate sourcing and planning where quantity fulfillment is a factor in substitute part choice.
