CTS 210-10LPSTF DIP Switch Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CTS 210-10LPSTF is a 10-position DIP switch featuring SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) circuit configuration with slide actuator, designed for through-hole mounting applications. This component is rated for 100mA at 20VDC and operates across the industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when mechanical form factor, electrical ratings, and functional circuit topology align within acceptable operational parameters for the application.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CTS 210-10LPSTF is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Circuit configuration must be SPST
• Number of positions must be 10
• Actuator type must be Slide (Standard)
• Mounting type must be Through Hole
• Pitch must be 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Contact finish must be Gold

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Voltage rating must equal or exceed 20VDC
• Current rating must equal or exceed 100mA
• Operating temperature range must encompass or exceed -40°C to 85°C
• Washable capability must be present
• RoHS3 compliance required

The TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 1-1825002-7 qualifies as a substitute part. While it operates at reduced current (25mA versus 100mA) and elevated voltage (24VDC versus 20VDC), these parameters remain within acceptable substitution boundaries for applications where the lower current rating is compatible with circuit requirements. The mechanical envelope, pitch, actuator configuration, and mounting methodology are functionally equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CTS 210-10LPSTF and TE Connectivity 1-1825002-7 maintain Active product status with full regulatory compliance. Selection between these components should be based on circuit current requirements. The CTS part supports 100mA operation, while the TE Connectivity substitute is rated for 25mA maximum. Applications requiring currents between 25mA and 100mA must use the CTS 210-10LPSTF. Applications operating at 25mA or below may utilize either component. Both parts satisfy RoHS3 and REACH compliance requirements. The TE Connectivity part operates across a narrower temperature range (-30°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 85°C), which may be a limiting factor in extreme cold environments. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through identical pitch spacing, actuator configuration, and through-hole mounting methodology.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-1825002-7 replace the CTS 210-10LPSTF in all applications?

A: No. The TE Connectivity part is rated for 25mA maximum current, while the CTS part supports 100mA. Substitution is only valid for applications operating at 25mA or below. Additionally, the TE Connectivity part has a minimum operating temperature of -30°C, compared to -40°C for the CTS part.

Q: Are the mechanical dimensions compatible between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), through-hole mounting configuration, and slide actuator design. Height above board differs slightly (0.180" versus 0.189"), but this variance is within standard PCB layout tolerances for DIP switch applications.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the CTS 210-10LPSTF and TE Connectivity 1-1825002-7 are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current electronic component regulatory standards.

Q: What is the primary electrical difference between these parts?

A: The CTS part is rated for 100mA at 20VDC, while the TE Connectivity substitute is rated for 25mA at 24VDC. The TE Connectivity part operates at higher voltage but lower current capacity.

Q: Are both parts washable?

A: Yes. Both components feature washable design, supporting standard PCB cleaning processes.
