Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1-5435802-9 is based on the following critical parameters that must align between the main part and substitute:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: SPST
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Washable Capability: Yes
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS Compliance: Required

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Number of Positions: The substitute part (1-1825006-7) provides 10 positions versus 9 positions in the original. This represents a functional superset where additional positions do not reduce compatibility in applications requiring 9 or fewer switch positions.
• Actuator Type: The substitute features a standard actuator with flush/recessed level versus the raised piano actuator of the original. Both actuator types maintain SPST switching functionality and through-hole mounting compatibility.
• Product Status: The substitute is active, providing long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 1-1825006-7 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 1-5435802-9. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability, manufacturing support, and supply chain reliability. The original part's obsolete classification creates risk for long-term procurement and design continuity.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts maintain equivalent environmental compliance with RoHS standards. The substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory alignment. Both parts carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence for export and tariff purposes.

Functional Equivalence: The substitute maintains SPST circuit configuration, through-hole mounting, and washable construction. The increase from 9 to 10 positions provides functional compatibility for applications requiring 9 or fewer switch positions. The shift from raised piano actuators to flush/recessed standard actuators represents a design evolution within the same product family, maintaining switching performance while reducing profile height.

Environmental Specifications: Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity, confirming equivalent environmental robustness for industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-1825006-7 substitute directly replace the 1-5435802-9 in existing designs?

A: The 1-1825006-7 provides functional substitution for applications requiring 9 or fewer switch positions. The additional 10th position does not create incompatibility. The primary design consideration is the actuator profile change from raised piano to flush/recessed standard. PCB layout and mechanical clearance must accommodate the lower profile actuator height.

Q: What is the significance of the position count difference (9 vs. 10)?

A: The substitute provides one additional switch position. Applications utilizing only 9 positions operate within the substitute's capability range. The extra position remains unused and does not affect circuit functionality or electrical performance.

Q: How do the actuator types differ functionally?

A: Both piano and standard actuators provide SPST switching functionality. The piano actuator features a raised profile with extended lever arm. The standard actuator is flush or recessed with reduced profile height. Both types maintain equivalent electrical switching performance and through-hole mounting compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part is specified with "-" packaging notation. The substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect component electrical or mechanical specifications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts carry RoHS compliance (the substitute at ROHS3 level), EAR99 export classification, and identical HTSUS tariff codes (8536.50.9065). Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings and washable construction capability.

Q: Is the series change from 7000 to GDS significant?

A: The series designation reflects product family evolution within TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH. Both series maintain identical circuit configuration, mounting type, and environmental specifications. The GDS series represents the current active product line.
