DPL07 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DPL07 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 DPL07 is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DPL07 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPST)
• Number of positions (7)
• Voltage rating (24VDC)
• Actuator type (Piano, Raised)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Operating temperature range (-20°C to 70°C)

Allowable Variation:

• Current rating: The DPL07 is rated for 50mA. Substitute parts with lower current ratings (25mA) are acceptable for applications where the load current does not exceed the substitute part's rating. Substitutes with equal or higher current ratings are also acceptable.

The NDPL-07-V qualifies as a substitute part. While it carries a reduced current rating of 25mA compared to the DPL07's 50mA, it maintains all other critical electrical and mechanical parameters. This substitution is valid only for applications where the circuit current does not exceed 25mA.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The NDPL-07-V is an active product from APEM Inc. and serves as a functional substitute for the obsolete DPL07. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for new designs and legacy system support.

Selection of the NDPL-07-V over the DPL07 is appropriate when:

• The application circuit current does not exceed 25mA
• Active product availability is required for procurement
• Regulatory compliance with current standards is necessary

The NDPL-07-V maintains identical mechanical footprint, electrical interface, and environmental operating range, enabling direct substitution in compatible applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NDPL-07-V replace the DPL07 in all applications?

A: The NDPL-07-V is a valid substitute only for applications where the circuit current does not exceed 25mA. The DPL07 is rated for 50mA; the NDPL-07-V is rated for 25mA. Verify your application's current draw before substitution.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between DPL07 and NDPL-07-V?

A: Both components share the same height above board (0.402" / 10.20mm), pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), and mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle). The length differs slightly (DPL07: 0.761" vs. NDPL-07-V: 0.750"), but both maintain compatible PC pin termination for standard through-hole PCB mounting.

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

A: The DPL07 is classified as obsolete, while the NDPL-07-V is an active product. For new designs and ongoing procurement, the NDPL-07-V is the recommended choice when current requirements permit.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the DPL07 and NDPL-07-V are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the electrical life rating for these switches?

A: Both components are rated for 2,000 electrical cycles at their respective current ratings.
