DP07 DIP Switch SPST Piano Actuator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DP07 is a 7-position DIP switch manufactured by APEM Inc., featuring a piano actuator with SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) circuit configuration. Rated for 50mA at 24VDC, this component is designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. The DP07 is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DP07 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Must be SPST
• Number of Positions: Must be 7
• Voltage Rating: Must be 24VDC
• Actuator Type: Must be Piano
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole, Right Angle
• Pitch: Must be 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Height Above Board: Must be 0.402" (10.20mm)

The NDP-07-V meets all substitution criteria with one exception: current rating is reduced from 50mA to 25mA. This represents a downrating in electrical capacity and is permissible only in applications where the circuit load does not exceed 25mA.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The NDP-07-V is an active production substitute for the obsolete DP07. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for new designs and legacy system support.

Selection of the NDP-07-V is appropriate when circuit current requirements do not exceed 25mA. The substitute maintains identical mechanical footprint, pitch, height, and mounting configuration, enabling direct PCB layout compatibility. The reduction in current rating from 50mA to 25mA represents the only electrical parameter variance and must be evaluated against actual application load specifications.

The NDP-07-V's active product status provides supply chain continuity and ongoing manufacturer support, addressing the procurement challenges associated with the DP07's obsolete classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NDP-07-V be used as a direct replacement for the DP07 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only in applications where the circuit current does not exceed 25mA. The NDP-07-V is rated for 25mA maximum, compared to the DP07's 50mA rating. If your application requires current handling above 25mA, the NDP-07-V is not suitable.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between DP07 and NDP-07-V?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), height above board (0.402" / 10.20mm), and mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle). PCB layouts designed for the DP07 accommodate the NDP-07-V without modification.

Q: What is the difference in product status between these parts?

A: The DP07 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production and limited availability. The NDP-07-V is an active product, meaning it is currently manufactured and available through standard distribution channels.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the DP07 and NDP-07-V are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the mechanical life difference between these components?

A: The DP07 specifies 5,000 mechanical cycles, while the NDP-07-V does not provide a published mechanical life specification. Both components are rated for 2,000 electrical cycles.
