Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 2-1825097-6 is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT
• Switch function: On-Momentary
• Current rating: 0.4VA (AC/DC)
• Voltage rating: 20V AC and 20V DC
• Electrical life: 100,000 cycles minimum

Mechanical Compatibility Considerations:

• Actuator type: Round plunger configuration
• Actuator color: Black
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Operating temperature range: -30°C to 65°C
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

Series Consistency:

• TP series designation maintained across substitutes

The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute relates to mounting methodology. The 2-1825097-6 employs through-hole, right-angle mounting, while the substitute part 1825100-7 utilizes panel mount, rear configuration. Both maintain identical electrical specifications and actuator characteristics, enabling functional substitution in applications where mounting geometry can be accommodated.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Production and New Designs:

The substitute part 1825100-7 is the recommended selection for new applications. This part maintains active product status with TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The 1825100-7 achieves ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

For Legacy System Maintenance:

The original 2-1825097-6 remains available in inventory (1109 pieces in stock) for applications requiring through-hole, right-angle mounting geometry. This configuration is retained for systems where PCB layout and mechanical constraints necessitate the specific mounting orientation.

Electrical Performance Equivalence:

Both parts deliver identical electrical performance across all specified parameters: SPDT circuit, 0.4VA current rating, 20V AC/DC voltage rating, and 100,000-cycle electrical life. Selection between these parts is determined solely by mechanical mounting requirements and compliance status, not electrical capability.

Compliance Considerations:

The 1825100-7 substitute provides ROHS3 compliance certification, advantageous for applications subject to environmental regulations. The original part carries "Not Applicable" RoHS status, reflecting its obsolete classification prior to widespread RoHS implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1825100-7 directly replace the 2-1825097-6 in existing assemblies?

A: Electrical substitution is complete. Mechanical substitution depends on PCB layout and panel mounting capability. The 1825100-7 requires a 6.35mm diameter circular panel cutout, whereas the 2-1825097-6 uses through-hole, right-angle PCB mounting. Evaluate mechanical constraints before implementation.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: Circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-Momentary), current rating (0.4VA AC/DC), voltage rating (20V AC/DC), and electrical life (100,000 cycles) must remain constant. Both parts meet these requirements identically.

Q: Does the 1825100-7 maintain the same actuator characteristics?

A: Both parts feature round plunger actuators with black coloring. The 2-1825097-6 specifies flush design, while the 1825100-7 does not include this designation. Verify actuator profile requirements for your specific application.

Q: What is the significance of the panel cutout dimension specification?

A: The 1825100-7 requires a 6.35mm diameter circular cutout for panel mount installation. This dimension is critical for mechanical fit and must be incorporated into panel design. The 2-1825097-6 does not require panel cutout specification due to through-hole mounting.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 1825100-7 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, suitable for applications subject to environmental regulations. The 2-1825097-6 predates widespread RoHS implementation and carries "Not Applicable" status. For new designs, the 1825100-7 is preferred for regulatory alignment.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both the 2-1825097-6 and 1825100-7 operate across -30°C to 65°C. This range is identical and does not differentiate substitution suitability.

Q: How do the termination styles compare?

A: Both parts utilize PC Pin termination style, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB soldering processes and connection methodologies.

Q: What inventory status should influence component selection?

A: The 2-1825097-6 (obsolete) has 1109 pieces in stock, while the 1825100-7 (active) has 1224 pieces available. For long-term production, the active part ensures sustained supply availability.
