GDP06S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GDP06S is a 6-position DIP switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, configured as a single-pole single-throw (SPST) surface mount component with piano actuator. This switch is rated for 25mA at 24VDC and features gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a flush, recessed actuator level. The GDP06S is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GDP06S is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility within the DIP switch category. The primary substitution criteria are:

Electrical Parameters:

Circuit configuration must remain SPST
Voltage rating must equal or exceed 24VDC
Current rating must equal or exceed 25mA
Operating temperature range must encompass or exceed -30°C ~ 85°C

Mechanical Parameters:

Number of positions must equal 6
Actuator type must be piano
Mounting type must be surface mount, right angle
Termination style must be gull wing
Pitch must be 0.100" (2.54mm)
Contact finish must be gold

The substitute part 193-6MS from CTS Electrocomponents satisfies all electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements for the GDP06S.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 193-6MS from CTS Electrocomponents is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete GDP06S. Both components share identical circuit configuration, position count, voltage rating, actuator type, mounting orientation, termination style, and pitch specifications.

The 193-6MS provides enhanced electrical performance with a current rating of 50mA, exceeding the GDP06S requirement of 25mA. The operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 85°C extends the lower temperature limit by 10°C compared to the GDP06S. Electrical life is rated at 7,000 cycles, providing significantly greater cycle durability than the GDP06S at 1,000 cycles.

The 193-6MS is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the GDP06S is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance status is relevant for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Physical dimensions differ slightly: the 193-6MS is 0.016" (0.41mm) taller and 0.048" (1.21mm) longer than the GDP06S. These dimensional variations must be evaluated against specific board layout and enclosure constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 193-6MS directly replace the GDP06S in existing designs?

A: The 193-6MS satisfies all electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements for the GDP06S. However, the slightly larger physical dimensions (0.359" height vs. 0.343" and 0.686" length vs. 0.638") must be verified against board layout and mechanical clearance constraints before implementation.

Q: What is the significance of the higher current rating on the 193-6MS?

A: The 193-6MS is rated for 50mA compared to the GDP06S at 25mA. This higher rating provides additional design margin for the application and does not create incompatibility. The substitute will function correctly in circuits designed for the lower 25mA rating.

Q: Are there differences in actuator characteristics between these parts?

A: Both components feature piano actuators. The GDP06S has a flush, recessed actuator level, while the 193-6MS has a raised actuator level. This difference affects the physical profile and may impact user interface feel and accessibility in the final assembly.

Q: What is the impact of RoHS compliance differences?

A: The GDP06S is RoHS non-compliant, while the 193-6MS is ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the 193-6MS provides compliance. For applications without such requirements, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: How do the electrical life ratings compare?

A: The GDP06S is rated for 1,000 electrical cycles, while the 193-6MS is rated for 7,000 electrical cycles. The 193-6MS provides extended operational life and greater reliability for high-cycle applications.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to the 193-6MS?

A: The 193-6MS is supplied in tube packaging, whereas the GDP06S packaging format is not specified in the available data. Tube packaging is standard for DIP switch components and is compatible with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment.
