Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ND3FC16P is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: Hexadecimal Complement (16-position logic)
• Electrical specifications: 100mA current rating, 5VDC voltage rating
• Mechanical interface: Rotary tool-actuated mechanism with flush, recessed actuation
• Contact system: Beryllium copper with gold finish
• Mounting and termination: Surface mount with gull wing leads
• Pitch and board height: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 0.220" (5.59mm) height
• Environmental compliance: ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating

The FD02FC16P-S meets these core electrical and mechanical requirements and is manufactured by the same supplier, ensuring functional and physical compatibility within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FD02FC16P-S is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the ND3FC16P. Selection of the FD02FC16P-S is supported by the following factors:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• Identical electrical ratings (100mA, 5VDC) and circuit configuration (hexadecimal complement, 16 positions)
• Equivalent surface mount construction with matching mechanical interface requirements
• Same manufacturer (NKK Switches) provides design consistency and quality assurance
• Compliance with current environmental standards maintains regulatory alignment

The transition from ND3FC16P to FD02FC16P-S does not introduce electrical or mechanical incompatibilities within the specified parameter constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FD02FC16P-S be used as a direct replacement for the ND3FC16P?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (100mA, 5VDC), circuit configuration (hexadecimal complement, 16 positions), and surface mount construction. The FD02FC16P-S is the manufacturer-recommended substitute.

Q: What is the difference between the ND3FC16P and FD02FC16P-S?

A: The primary difference is product status. The ND3FC16P is Last Time Buy (discontinued), while the FD02FC16P-S is Active. Both parts meet the same electrical and mechanical requirements for hexadecimal complement DIP switch applications.

Q: Are there any package or footprint differences?

A: Both parts are surface mount with gull wing termination. Footprint compatibility is maintained across the specified pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm) and board height (0.220" / 5.59mm) parameters.

Q: Why should I transition from ND3FC16P to FD02FC16P-S?

A: The ND3FC16P is Last Time Buy, indicating production discontinuation. The FD02FC16P-S is an active product with ongoing availability, ensuring supply chain continuity and long-term support.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The ND3FC16P is ROHS3 compliant. Compliance information for the FD02FC16P-S was not provided in the available data.
