Equivalent & Substitute Parts for DP10

Part Overview

DP10 is a DIP switch with SPST configuration offering 10 positions, manufactured by APEM Inc. This part features a piano actuator with a flush, recessed level and is constructed with gold-finished phosphor bronze contacts. The part supports a current rating of 50mA at 24VDC and is designed for through-hole, right angle mounting. DP10 is listed as obsolete, necessitating the identification of substitute parts that meet equivalent electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements for design continuity and inventory replenishment.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are selected based strictly on matching or compatible electrical and mechanical parameters for the DIP switch category. The key parameters for substitution include: circuit type (SPST), number of positions (10), current rating, voltage rating, actuator type, mounting type, termination style, contact material, contact finish, pitch, operating temperature, body material, and compliance status. Only parts conforming to these strict criteria are considered valid substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DP10 is listed as obsolete and is ROHS3 compliant, with an unlimited moisture sensitivity level and unaffected REACH status. The substitute KAP1110E from E-Switch is active and matches all listed compliance and certification criteria, including ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1, REACH status, ECCN, and HTSUS. All substitute selection is strictly based on the regulatory, certification, and inventory status indicated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the key parameters required for substituting DP10?
A1: Substitution requires matching circuit type (SPST), number of positions (10), voltage rating (24VDC), actuator type (piano), mounting type (through hole, right angle), termination style (PC pin), pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), contact material (phosphor bronze), and compliance specifications.

Q2: Can KAP1110E be used in place of DP10 in existing designs?
A2: KAP1110E shares all functional and compliance-critical parameters listed for DP10, including mounting, actuator, contact material, pitch, and certification status. See parameter comparison table for all compatible items.

Q3: Are there any differences in actuator level between DP10 and KAP1110E?
A3: DP10 utilizes a flush, recessed actuator level, while KAP1110E uses a raised actuator level. All other actuator type parameters match.

Q4: Does substitute selection affect regulatory compliance?
A4: Both DP10 and the substitute KAP1110E are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, with MSL of 1 (unlimited), and identical ECCN/HTSUS numbers. Compliance is maintained in substitution.

Q5: Which packaging types are supported for these DIP switches?
A5: Both DP10 and KAP1110E are supplied in tube packaging as indicated in the provided data.

Q6: Is the substitute KAP1110E currently in production?
A6: KAP1110E is listed as active per provided inventory and status data.
