GDR06 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GDR06 is a DIP switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, configured as a single-pole single-throw (SPST) rocker actuator switch with 6 positions. The device is rated for 25mA at 24VDC and is designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. The GDR06 is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent parts to maintain design continuity and ensure ongoing component availability for production and field service applications.
