SRJ-16 Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The SRJ-16 is a hexadecimal rotary DIP switch manufactured by E-Switch, designed for through-hole mounting applications requiring 16-position selection capability at 100mA and 5VDC. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing design support and production requirements. The SRJ-16 serves applications requiring tool-actuated rotary selection with flush, recessed actuator positioning.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
The NDFR16P manufactured by NKK Switches qualifies as a direct substitute for the SRJ-16 based on the following critical parameters:
- Circuit Configuration: Both parts implement hexadecimal 16-position switching logic
- Electrical Ratings: Identical current rating (100mA) and voltage rating (5VDC)
- Actuator Mechanism: Both feature rotary tool-actuated operation with flush, recessed actuator positioning
- Mounting and Termination: Matching through-hole mounting with PC pin termination
- Pitch Spacing: Identical 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch for PCB footprint compatibility
- Compliance: Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status
Substitution is valid where the mechanical envelope and electrical performance parameters align with the application requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
The NDFR16P represents the qualified substitute for the obsolete SRJ-16. Selection between these parts should be based on:
Product Lifecycle Considerations: The SRJ-16 is classified as obsolete, while the NDFR16P carries Last Time Buy status. For new designs or production continuity, the NDFR16P is the appropriate selection.
Compliance and Certifications: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for equivalent applications.
Mechanical Envelope: The NDFR16P exhibits reduced height (0.205" vs. 0.256") and length (0.312" vs. 0.394"), providing a more compact footprint while maintaining identical pitch and termination compatibility. PCB layout verification is required to confirm clearance in space-constrained applications.
Operating Performance: The NDFR16P provides extended operating temperature range (-25°C to 75°C versus -10°C to 60°C) and increased electrical life (20,000 cycles versus 15,000 cycles), offering enhanced reliability margins for demanding environments.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the NDFR16P directly replace the SRJ-16 on existing PCBs?
A: Yes, provided PCB layout accommodates the reduced mechanical envelope. Both parts share identical pitch (0.100"), termination style (PC Pin), and mounting type (through-hole). Verify clearance for the smaller height and length dimensions of the NDFR16P.
Q: What are the key electrical compatibility factors?
A: Both parts operate at identical voltage (5VDC) and current (100mA) ratings with hexadecimal 16-position switching. Electrical performance is equivalent for applications within these specifications.
Q: Why does the NDFR16P have a longer electrical life rating?
A: The NDFR16P is rated for 20,000 cycles compared to the SRJ-16's 15,000 cycles. This reflects design and manufacturing differences between manufacturers and contact material composition (Beryllium Copper versus Glass Fabric Epoxy Resin).
Q: Are there temperature range limitations when substituting?
A: The NDFR16P operates across -25°C to 75°C, exceeding the SRJ-16's -10°C to 60°C range. Applications operating within the original SRJ-16 temperature specification will function identically with the NDFR16P. Applications requiring extended temperature operation benefit from the NDFR16P's broader range.
Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?
A: The SRJ-16 is supplied in standard packaging, while the NDFR16P is packaged in trays. Verify packaging compatibility with receiving and assembly processes.
Q: Are both parts washable?
A: Yes, both the SRJ-16 and NDFR16P are washable, supporting standard PCB cleaning processes.
