Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 1825040-7 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH MPA series. The substitute part MPA206R maintains identical specifications across all critical selection criteria: DPDT circuit topology, 6A AC and 4A DC current ratings, 125V AC and 28V DC voltage ratings, On-Mom switch function, panel mount rear configuration, solder lug termination, 6.35mm circular panel cutout, -20°C to 80°C operating temperature range, and 50,000 cycle electrical life rating.

The substitution is valid based on the following key parameters:

• Electrical ratings (current and voltage)
• Circuit configuration (DPDT)
• Switch function (On-Mom)
• Mechanical mounting interface (panel mount rear, 6.35mm cutout)
• Termination style (solder lug)
• Environmental operating range
• Electrical life specification
