Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1825013-9 is determined by alignment across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches
• Series: MRD
• Number of Positions: 10
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Actuator Type: Rotary for Tool
• Voltage Rating: 20VAC/DC or higher
• Current Rating: 0.4VA or higher

Functional Compatibility Parameters:

• Circuit Type: BCD encoding capability
• Termination Style: Gull Wing
• Contact Material: Beryllium Copper with Gold finish
• Operating Temperature Range: -30°C to 85°C minimum

The substitute part 2-2396234-4 belongs to the same MRD series and maintains compatibility across all mandatory parameters, enabling direct functional substitution in applications requiring 10-position rotary DIP switch functionality with tool actuation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Part Replacement: The 1825013-9 is classified as obsolete. The substitute part 2-2396234-4 is actively manufactured and available, making it the appropriate selection for new procurement and ongoing system support. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH and belong to the MRD series, ensuring design continuity.

For Compliance Considerations: The 2-2396234-4 carries RoHS Compliant certification, whereas the 1825013-9 predates RoHS applicability. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, the substitute part satisfies regulatory compliance mandates. Both parts share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification (8536.50.9065), indicating equivalent export and tariff treatment.

For Procurement Planning: The 1825013-9 maintains 1,096 pieces in current inventory as new original stock. The 2-2396234-4 maintains 933 pieces in bulk packaging. For applications requiring immediate component availability, either part may be sourced; however, the active status of 2-2396234-4 ensures long-term supply continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2-2396234-4 directly replace the 1825013-9 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components are 10-position rotary DIP switches from the TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH MRD series with identical mounting type (surface mount) and actuator configuration (rotary for tool). The core functional parameters align, enabling direct substitution in applications designed for the 1825013-9.

Q: What is the significance of the obsolete status of the 1825013-9?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured by TE Connectivity. The 2-2396234-4, classified as active, represents the current production equivalent and is the recommended selection for new designs and long-term supply assurance.

Q: Are there differences in electrical performance between these parts?

A: The provided data specifies 0.4VA at 20VAC/DC for the 1825013-9. Electrical specifications for the 2-2396234-4 are not detailed in the available documentation. Verification of electrical ratings against application requirements is necessary prior to implementation.

Q: How do packaging differences affect component selection?

A: The 1825013-9 packaging is not specified in the available data. The 2-2396234-4 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection depends on procurement volume requirements and assembly process specifications. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical form factors.

Q: What is the impact of RoHS compliance on part selection?

A: The 2-2396234-4 is RoHS Compliant, while the 1825013-9 predates RoHS applicability. For applications subject to RoHS directives or customer requirements, the 2-2396234-4 satisfies compliance mandates. Both parts share identical export classifications (ECCN: EAR99).

Q: Are the contact materials and finishes identical?

A: The 1825013-9 specifies beryllium copper contacts with gold finish. Contact material and finish specifications for the 2-2396234-4 are not provided in the available data. Confirmation of contact specifications is recommended for applications with specific contact material requirements.
