Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 1825006-9 (Primary Part)

The 1825006-9 is the specified component for applications requiring 25mA switching at 24VDC with a compact profile (0.114" height). This part is Active in product status, RoHS3 compliant, and carries MSL 1 rating. The 1,000-cycle electrical and mechanical life rating is suitable for standard industrial switching applications. The PPS body material provides chemical resistance in industrial environments.

C&K SD06H0B (Substitute)

The SD06H0B is electrically compatible for applications where the 1825006-9 is unavailable. This part provides higher current capacity (100mA) and equal voltage rating (25VDC), making it suitable for applications requiring greater switching capability. The SD06H0B features extended mechanical and electrical life (2,000 cycles), wider operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), and Beryllium Copper contacts. The increased height (0.178" versus 0.114") must be verified against PCB layout constraints. This part is Active in product status, RoHS3 compliant, and carries MSL 1 rating.

CTS Electrocomponents 209-6LPST (Substitute)

The 209-6LPST is electrically compatible for applications where the 1825006-9 is unavailable and where the 20VDC rating is acceptable. This part provides higher current capacity (100mA) and extended electrical life (2,000 cycles). The 209-6LPST features a wider operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), Beryllium Copper contacts, and epoxy-sealed terminals for enhanced environmental protection. The increased height (0.180" versus 0.114") must be verified against PCB layout constraints. This part is Active in product status, RoHS3 compliant, and carries MSL 1 rating. The 20VDC rating is lower than the main part; substitution is valid only in applications operating at or below 20VDC.

All substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 ECCN classification, ensuring regulatory equivalence with the main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the C&K SD06H0B be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 1825006-9?

A: The SD06H0B is electrically and mechanically compatible within the allowed parameters of the DIP switch category. Both parts share identical circuit configuration (SPST), position count (6), actuator type (Slide Standard), mounting type (Through Hole), and pitch (0.100"). The SD06H0B provides higher current capacity (100mA versus 25mA) and equal voltage rating (25VDC). The primary consideration is the increased height above board (0.178" versus 0.114"), which must be verified against PCB layout and clearance requirements.

Q: What is the voltage limitation when using the CTS Electrocomponents 209-6LPST?

A: The 209-6LPST is rated for 20VDC, which is lower than the main part's 24VDC rating. This part is suitable for substitution only in applications operating at or below 20VDC. Applications requiring 24VDC operation must use the main part or the C&K SD06H0B (25VDC rated).

Q: Are there mechanical envelope differences between the substitute parts and the main part?

A: Yes. The main part (1825006-9) has a height above board of 0.114" (2.90mm) and length of 0.594" (15.09mm). Both substitute parts have increased height (0.178" to 0.180") and length (0.658" or 16.71mm). These dimensional differences must be evaluated against PCB layout, component spacing, and clearance requirements before substitution.

Q: Do all parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. The main part and both substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, carry EAR99 ECCN classification, and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. All parts are packaged in tubes and are suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: What is the difference in electrical life between the parts?

A: The main part (1825006-9) is rated for 1,000 electrical cycles. Both substitute parts are rated for 2,000 electrical cycles, providing extended operational life. The C&K SD06H0B also specifies 2,000 mechanical cycles, while the main part specifies 1,000 mechanical cycles.

Q: Can the substitute parts operate at lower temperatures than the main part?

A: The main part operates from -30°C to 85°C. Both substitute parts operate from -40°C to 85°C, providing extended low-temperature capability. Applications requiring operation below -30°C must use one of the substitute parts.

Q: Are the contact materials equivalent between the main part and substitutes?

A: The main part uses Copper Alloy contacts, while both substitute parts use Beryllium Copper contacts. Both materials are gold-plated and suitable for low-voltage switching applications. Beryllium Copper provides enhanced contact reliability and is commonly used in professional-grade switching components.
