Equivalent & Substitute Parts for DP05

Part Overview

The DP05 is a piano actuator DIP switch manufactured by APEM Inc., featuring a SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) circuit, 5 positions, 50mA current rating, and a 24VDC voltage rating. It is configured for through hole, right angle mounting, with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, flush/recessed actuator level, and gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts. The product is obsolete, making the identification of substitute parts necessary for ongoing designs, repairs, and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is determined strictly by matching electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters. Key matching criteria include: SPST circuit configuration, 5 positions, rated current and voltage, actuator type (piano), actuator level, contact material and finish, height above board, through hole right angle mounting, termination style, pitch, body material, length, mechanical and electrical life, RoHS and REACH compliance, and MSL rating. Substitute parts must align with these criteria within the explicit constraints provided.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DP05 DIP switch is classified as obsolete. KAP1105E from E-Switch is an active product and complies with ROHS3, has MSL 1 (Unlimited), and its REACH status is unaffected. These compliance and certification statuses are consistent with the requirements shown for DP05 and support its selection as an alternative based on the provided data.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Which key parameters are used to determine suitable substitute DIP switch parts for DP05?
A1: Parameters include SPST circuit type, 5 positions, current and voltage ratings, actuator type and level, mounting style, dimensions, contact material and finish, mechanical/electrical life, RoHS/REACH compliance, and MSL rating.

Q2: Is KAP1105E a direct replacement for DP05 in terms of mechanical fit?
A2: KAP1105E matches DP05 in terms of mounting type (through hole, right angle), pitch, height above board, and length, according to the provided parameters.

Q3: Does the actuator level difference impact substitution?
A3: DP05 has a flush, recessed actuator while KAP1105E uses a raised actuator. This affects physical actuation but both are categorized as piano actuator DIP switches.

Q4: Are the compliance and certification requirements met by KAP1105E?
A4: Both DP05 and KAP1105E are ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1 (Unlimited), and REACH unaffected, fulfilling the compliance requirements specified.

Q5: What package considerations are relevant when substituting DP05 with KAP1105E?
A5: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging and are non-washable according to the provided information.
