Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 1-1634200-8 is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part PREDD3-07F-BB0FW maintains identical specifications for circuit configuration (DPDT), switch function (On-Off-On), current rating (10A AC), voltage rating (125V AC), mounting methodology (panel mount, snap-in), actuator type (concave curved), actuator color (black), termination style (quick connect 0.187"), panel cutout dimensions (22.20mm x 19.40mm), operating temperature range (-20°C to 85°C), and regulatory compliance (cULus approval, ROHS3 compliant).

The key parameters governing substitution eligibility are:

• Electrical ratings (10A AC, 125V AC)
• Circuit topology (DPDT)
• Mechanical interface (panel mount, snap-in, 22.20mm x 19.40mm cutout)
• Termination compatibility (quick connect 0.187")
• Environmental operating range (-20°C ~ 85°C)
• Regulatory certifications (cULus, ROHS3)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PREDD3-07F-BB0FW is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 1-1634200-8. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches within the PRE series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute part is currently in active production status with 1760 units in stock, ensuring availability for new designs and replacement applications.

Selection of PREDD3-07F-BB0FW is supported by:

• Identical electrical performance (10A AC, 125V AC, DPDT configuration)
• Mechanical compatibility (panel mount, snap-in installation, matching cutout dimensions)
• Termination compatibility (quick connect 0.187" terminals)
• Regulatory compliance (cULus certification, ROHS3 compliance, EAR99 classification)
• Environmental operating specifications (-20°C to 85°C range)

The transition from the obsolete part to the active substitute requires no circuit redesign or mechanical modification to the host assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PREDD3-07F-BB0FW directly replace 1-1634200-8 without circuit modification?

A: Yes. Both parts are DPDT switches with identical electrical ratings (10A AC, 125V AC), switch function (On-Off-On), and termination style (quick connect 0.187"). No circuit redesign is required.

Q: Are the panel cutout dimensions identical between the two parts?

A: Yes. Both components require a rectangular panel cutout of 22.20mm x 19.40mm. Existing panel assemblies designed for 1-1634200-8 accommodate PREDD3-07F-BB0FW without modification.

Q: What is the difference in actuator marking between these parts?

A: The 1-1634200-8 features actuator marking "- O =", while PREDD3-07F-BB0FW features "I O II". Both actuators are concave curved black switches with identical electrical function. The marking difference reflects design evolution within the PRE series but does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both 1-1634200-8 and PREDD3-07F-BB0FW are ROHS3 compliant and carry cULus regulatory approval.
