P60AS701TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The P60AS701TR is an active BCD rotary DIP switch manufactured by APEM Inc., designed for surface mount applications requiring tool actuation. This 10-position rotary switch operates at 24VDC with a 150mA current rating and features a flush, recessed actuator with gold-plated stainless steel contacts. The component is ROHS3 compliant and carries unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Equivalent parts are identified when design specifications permit operation at different voltage or current ratings while maintaining core functional parameters such as circuit type, position count, mounting style, and mechanical life.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The FR02FR10P-R from NKK Switches qualifies as an equivalent substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration: BCD (Binary Coded Decimal)
• Position count: 10 positions
• Actuator type: Rotary for Tool with flush, recessed actuation
• Mounting configuration: Surface Mount
• Termination style: Gull Wing
• Pitch spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mechanical life: 10,000 Steps
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected
• Packaging: Tape & Reel (TR)

Differing Parameters:

• Voltage rating: 5VDC (substitute) vs. 24VDC (main part)
• Current rating: 100mA (substitute) vs. 150mA (main part)
• Contact material: Copper Alloy (substitute) vs. Stainless Steel (main part)
• Body material: Polyamide with glass fill (substitute) vs. Thermoplastic (main part)
• Height above board: 0.154" (substitute) vs. 0.244" (main part)
• Operating temperature range: -25°C ~ 85°C (substitute) vs. -20°C ~ 85°C (main part)

Substitution is valid when circuit voltage and current requirements permit operation at 5VDC and 100mA levels.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both P60AS701TR and FR02FR10P-R maintain active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification. Selection between these components depends on circuit voltage and current specifications. The P60AS701TR operates at 24VDC with 150mA capacity and is suitable for higher-voltage, higher-current applications. The FR02FR10P-R operates at 5VDC with 100mA capacity and is suitable for low-voltage digital logic circuits. Both components share identical mechanical positioning, pitch spacing, and 10,000-step mechanical life rating, ensuring functional equivalence in tool actuation applications where voltage and current requirements align with the selected part's specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FR02FR10P-R replace P60AS701TR in a 24VDC circuit?

A: No. The FR02FR10P-R is rated for 5VDC operation. Using it in a 24VDC circuit exceeds its voltage rating and will result in component failure.

Q: Are the physical footprints identical between these parts?

A: Both parts use 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing with Gull Wing termination and surface mount configuration. However, the FR02FR10P-R has a height of 0.154" compared to the P60AS701TR at 0.244". Verify PCB clearance requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the difference in contact material between these switches?

A: P60AS701TR uses stainless steel contacts with gold finish. FR02FR10P-R uses copper alloy contacts with gold finish. Both are gold-plated for corrosion resistance and signal integrity.

Q: Do both parts support the same mechanical life?

A: Yes. Both components are rated for 10,000 mechanical steps, ensuring equivalent durability in tool actuation applications.

Q: Are there temperature range differences?

A: The FR02FR10P-R operates from -25°C to 85°C, providing 5°C lower minimum temperature capability compared to the P60AS701TR at -20°C to 85°C. Both support the same maximum operating temperature.

Q: Can I use P60AS701TR in a 5VDC application?

A: The P60AS701TR is rated for 24VDC operation. Using it in a 5VDC circuit is not recommended as it exceeds the component's design specifications for that voltage class.
