Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 1825041-2 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the MPE series. The substitute part MPE106F maintains identical electrical specifications including SPDT circuit configuration, 6A AC and 4A DC current ratings, 125V AC and 28V DC voltage ratings, and On-Momentary switch function. Mechanical compatibility is preserved through identical panel mount rear installation, plunger actuator type, solder lug termination, and 6.35mm circular panel cutout dimensions. Environmental and operational parameters including splash proof ingress protection, -20°C to 80°C operating temperature range, 50,000 cycle electrical life, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level are fully matched.

The key parameters determining substitution eligibility are:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Current and voltage ratings (6A/125V AC, 4A/28V DC)
• Switch function (On-Momentary)
• Mounting and termination style (Panel Mount Rear, Solder Lug)
• Panel cutout dimensions (6.35mm circular)
• Environmental specifications (Splash Proof, -20°C to 80°C)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPE106F serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 1825041-2.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MPE106F be used as a direct replacement for 1825041-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MPE106F is electrically and mechanically equivalent to 1825041-2. Both components share identical SPDT circuit configuration, 6A/125V AC and 4A/28V DC ratings, On-Momentary function, panel mount rear installation, solder lug termination, and 6.35mm circular panel cutout dimensions. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between 1825041-2 and MPE106F?

A: The primary difference is product status. The 1825041-2 is classified as obsolete, while MPE106F is active. Additionally, MPE106F carries ROHS3 compliance certification and is subject to REACH regulations, whereas 1825041-2 is listed as REACH Unaffected. All functional and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1825041-2 is supplied with packaging designation listed as dash (-), while MPE106F is supplied in Bulk packaging. This distinction affects procurement and inventory management but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Does the operating temperature range remain the same?

A: Yes. Both 1825041-2 and MPE106F operate across the identical temperature range of -20°C to 80°C with equivalent electrical life of 50,000 cycles.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory considerations when substituting these parts?

A: The MPE106F meets ROHS3 compliance requirements and is subject to REACH regulations. If your application or supply chain requires specific compliance certifications, confirm that ROHS3 and REACH compliance are acceptable for your end-use application.

Q: What is the panel cutout requirement for installation?

A: Both parts require a circular panel cutout of 6.35mm diameter for rear panel mount installation. No mechanical modifications to existing panel installations are necessary.
