Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ND3KC16P is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: Hexadecimal Complement
• Number of positions: 16
• Current rating: 100mA minimum
• Voltage rating: 5VDC
• Actuator type: Rotary with Shaft
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Termination style: Gull Wing
• Contact material and finish compatibility
• Operating temperature range: -25°C ~ 85°C minimum
• RoHS compliance status

The FD02KR16P-S meets these core electrical and mechanical requirements, making it a valid substitute for the ND3KC16P in applications requiring hexadecimal complement rotary DIP switch functionality.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FD02KR16P-S is the recommended substitute for the ND3KC16P. Both components are manufactured by NKK Switches and share identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factors. The primary distinction is product status: the ND3KC16P is in Last Time Buy phase, while the FD02KR16P-S maintains Active status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability. Both parts comply with RoHS3 requirements, supporting modern environmental and regulatory standards. Selection of the FD02KR16P-S eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full functional compatibility with existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FD02KR16P-S directly replace the ND3KC16P in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (100mA, 5VDC), circuit configuration (hexadecimal complement), position count (16), actuator type (rotary with shaft), and surface mount gull wing termination. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute the ND3KC16P?

A: The ND3KC16P is in Last Time Buy status, indicating production discontinuation. The FD02KR16P-S maintains Active status, ensuring long-term availability and supply continuity.

Q: Are there any mechanical differences between these parts?

A: Both components are surface mount rotary DIP switches with identical functional specifications. Mechanical compatibility is maintained across all critical dimensions and mounting interfaces.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the ND3KC16P and FD02KR16P-S comply with RoHS3 requirements, supporting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What parameters must match for a valid substitution?

A: Critical parameters include hexadecimal complement circuit configuration, 16-position selection, 100mA current rating, 5VDC voltage rating, rotary shaft actuator, surface mount packaging, and gull wing termination style.
