Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ND3FC10P-R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (BCD Complement)
• Number of positions (10)
• Voltage rating (5VDC)
• Current rating (100mA)
• Actuator type (Rotary for Tool)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Contact material and finish (Beryllium Copper with Gold plating)
• Operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 85°C)
• Mechanical and electrical life ratings (20,000 Steps)

The FD02FC10P-R qualifies as a substitute part based on matching functional specifications for BCD complement 10-position rotary DIP switch applications at 5VDC with 100mA current capacity and surface mount configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FD02FC10P-R is the recommended substitute for the ND3FC10P-R based on the following criteria:

• Both parts are manufactured by NKK Switches, ensuring consistent design and quality standards
• Functional equivalence is confirmed across all critical electrical parameters: BCD complement circuit, 10-position configuration, 5VDC operation, and 100mA current capacity
• The FD02FC10P-R maintains Active product status, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Both parts comply with ROHS3 requirements, supporting regulatory compliance objectives
• Inventory availability of 741 units for the FD02FC10P-R supports production scheduling and procurement planning

Selection of the FD02FC10P-R eliminates obsolescence risk associated with the Last Time Buy status of the ND3FC10P-R while maintaining full functional compatibility in BCD complement rotary DIP switch applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the FD02FC10P-R functionally equivalent to the ND3FC10P-R?

A: Both parts share identical specifications for circuit type (BCD Complement), position count (10), voltage rating (5VDC), current rating (100mA), actuator configuration (Rotary for Tool), and mounting method (Surface Mount). These parameters define the functional role of the component in BCD complement selection applications.

Q: Are there any differences in mechanical or electrical performance between these parts?

A: The provided specifications confirm matching mechanical life (20,000 Steps) and electrical life (20,000 Steps) ratings. Both parts operate across the same temperature range (-25°C ~ 85°C) and use identical contact materials and finishes.

Q: Why is the FD02FC10P-R recommended over the ND3FC10P-R?

A: The FD02FC10P-R carries Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturing and availability. The ND3FC10P-R is designated Last Time Buy, indicating production discontinuation. For new designs and ongoing production, the Active status part provides supply chain security.

Q: Can the FD02FC10P-R be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. Functional equivalence across all critical parameters—circuit configuration, position count, voltage, current, actuator type, and mounting specification—supports direct substitution in applications currently using the ND3FC10P-R.

Q: Are there packaging or compliance differences?

A: Both parts comply with ROHS3 requirements. The ND3FC10P-R is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging. Packaging specifications for the FD02FC10P-R should be confirmed with the supplier for procurement planning purposes.
