NDKC10H Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The NDKC10H is a 10-position rotary DIP switch manufactured by NKK Switches, designed for BCD complement circuit applications. This component features a rotary shaft actuator rated for 100mA at 5VDC, with through-hole right-angle mounting and gold-plated beryllium copper contacts. The part is currently in Last Time Buy status, indicating discontinued production. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the NDKC10H is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: BCD Complement
• Number of positions: 10
• Current rating: 100mA
• Voltage rating: 5VDC
• Actuator mechanism: Rotary with shaft
• Contact material and finish: Beryllium copper with gold plating
• Mounting configuration: Through-hole, right-angle orientation
• Termination: PC pin style
• Pitch spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Operating temperature range: -25°C to 75°C minimum
• Mechanical and electrical life: 20,000 minimum

The FD01FC10H-S meets these substitution criteria as an active production alternative from the same manufacturer, ensuring functional and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FD01FC10H-S is the appropriate substitute for the NDKC10H based on the following engineering criteria:

Both components are manufactured by NKK Switches and share identical electrical specifications (100mA, 5VDC, BCD Complement circuit, 10-position configuration). The FD01FC10H-S maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The NDKC10H's Last Time Buy designation indicates end-of-life status, making the FD01FC10H-S the recommended path for new designs and production continuity. Both parts comply with ROHS3 standards, supporting modern environmental and regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FD01FC10H-S directly replace the NDKC10H in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (100mA, 5VDC), circuit configuration (BCD Complement), position count (10), and actuator type (rotary with shaft). Mechanical compatibility is maintained through equivalent mounting specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the NDKC10H's Last Time Buy status?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that NKK Switches has discontinued production of the NDKC10H. Existing inventory is limited to 740 pieces. The FD01FC10H-S, with 935 pieces in stock and active production status, provides a sustainable alternative for ongoing requirements.

Q: Are there any packaging or termination differences between these parts?

A: Both components use PC pin termination and 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. The FD01FC10H-S is available in active production, while the NDKC10H is supplied in tray packaging from remaining inventory.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the NDKC10H and FD01FC10H-S are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.
