KAR10LGGT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KAR10LGGT is a 10-position DIP switch manufactured by E-Switch, featuring a piano actuator with SPST circuit configuration rated for 25mA at 24VDC. This component is designed for surface mount, right-angle applications with gull wing termination and gold-plated copper alloy contacts. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitutes essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The KAC10LGGT qualifies as a direct substitute for the KAR10LGGT based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Circuit Configuration: Both parts are SPST (Single Pole Single Throw)
• Number of Positions: Both feature 10 positions
• Current Rating: Both rated at 25mA
• Voltage Rating: Both rated at 24VDC
• Actuator Type: Both use piano actuators
• Mounting Type: Both are surface mount, right angle
• Termination Style: Both use gull wing termination
• Pitch: Both maintain 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch
• Contact Finish: Both feature gold plating
• Mechanical Life: Both rated for 2,000 cycles
• Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected

The KAC10LGGT is currently in active production status, providing a viable path for component replacement where the obsolete KAR10LGGT is no longer available.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The KAC10LGGT is the direct substitute for the obsolete KAR10LGGT. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications (25mA at 24VDC, SPST 10-position configuration) and mechanical compatibility (surface mount right angle, gull wing termination, 0.100" pitch). The KAC10LGGT is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Physical differences exist in height above board (0.287" versus 0.201") and operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C versus -20°C to 85°C). These variations must be evaluated against specific application requirements. Both parts maintain identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH unaffected) and mechanical life ratings (2,000 cycles).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the KAC10LGGT directly replace the KAR10LGGT in existing designs?

A: The KAC10LGGT is electrically and mechanically compatible with the KAR10LGGT for applications within the overlapping operating temperature range (-20°C to 85°C). The primary physical difference is the reduced height above board (0.201" versus 0.287"), which may affect PCB layout clearance. Verify that your application does not require the lower temperature operation below -20°C.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for DIP switch substitution?

A: Critical parameters include circuit configuration (SPST), number of positions (10), current rating (25mA), voltage rating (24VDC), actuator type (piano), mounting style (surface mount right angle), termination type (gull wing), and pitch (0.100"). Both parts match these specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The KAR10LGGT is supplied with unspecified packaging, while the KAC10LGGT is supplied in tube packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The KAR10LGGT is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The KAC10LGGT is in active production, providing assured availability for new orders and ongoing system support.
