DP10T DIP Switch Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DP10T is a 10-position DIP switch manufactured by APEM Inc., designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. It features a piano actuator with SPST circuit configuration, rated for 50mA at 24VDC. The DP10T is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system support, maintenance, and new production alternatives.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DP10T must maintain compatibility across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: SPST (Single Pole, Single Throw)
• Position Count: 10 positions
• Voltage Rating: 24VDC minimum
• Actuator Type: Piano actuator
• Mounting Configuration: Through hole, right angle orientation
• Pitch Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Termination Style: PC pin
• Actuator Level: Flush, recessed

The NDP-10T-V qualifies as a substitute based on matching all core mechanical and electrical interface parameters. The primary difference is the current rating reduction from 50mA to 25mA, which represents a design constraint rather than a functional incompatibility for applications within the lower current specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The NDP-10T-V is an active production substitute for the obsolete DP10T. Both components are manufactured by APEM Inc. and maintain identical mechanical interfaces, electrical voltage specifications, and environmental operating ranges. The NDP-10T-V carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support.

Selection of the NDP-10T-V is appropriate for applications where the circuit current requirement does not exceed 25mA. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings, supporting equivalent regulatory and environmental requirements.

For applications requiring the full 50mA current capacity of the original DP10T, alternative substitute parts outside the provided dataset must be evaluated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NDP-10T-V directly replace the DP10T in existing designs?

A: The NDP-10T-V provides direct mechanical and electrical interface compatibility with the DP10T. Substitution is valid for applications where circuit current does not exceed 25mA. No PCB layout modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The current rating differs: DP10T is rated for 50mA, while NDP-10T-V is rated for 25mA. All other electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the DP10T and NDP-10T-V are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1, Unlimited).

Q: Why is the DP10T listed as obsolete?

A: The DP10T has been discontinued by APEM Inc. The NDP-10T-V represents the active production equivalent within the APEM product line.

Q: Do these parts require any special handling or storage considerations?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard component storage practices apply.

Q: Are the pitch and mounting dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, 0.402" (10.20mm) height above board, and identical through-hole, right-angle mounting configurations.
