Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 2-435166-9 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

Core Functional Parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPST (Single Pole Single Throw)
• Number of positions: 2
• Actuator type: Rocker
• Actuator level: Raised
• Mounting method: Through Hole
• Manufacturer series: 7000

Compliance and Status Considerations: The main part (2-435166-9) carries obsolete product status and RoHS non-compliant certification. Direct substitutes must be evaluated based on their active product status and compliance certifications to ensure long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

The identified substitute part 2-5435166-9 maintains all core functional parameters while providing active product status and ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for applications requiring current regulatory standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Part Replacement: The TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 2-5435166-9 is the direct substitute for the 2-435166-9. Both components share identical core functional specifications: SPST circuit, 2-position operation, rocker actuator with raised level, and through-hole mounting within the 7000 series.

Compliance Advantage: The substitute part 2-5435166-9 carries ROHS3 compliance status, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or requiring compliance with current environmental standards, the substitute part provides regulatory alignment.

Product Status: The original part maintains obsolete status with limited inventory availability (1,069 pieces). The substitute part carries active product status with current manufacturing support (649 pieces in stock), ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Electrical and Mechanical Specifications: The substitute part provides defined electrical ratings (25mA at 24VDC) and mechanical specifications (7,000 cycle life) that were not specified for the original part. These parameters support design verification and application validation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2-5435166-9 directly replace the 2-435166-9 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical circuit configuration (SPST), position count (2), actuator type (rocker with raised level), and through-hole mounting. The substitute part is functionally equivalent for applications operating within its specified electrical ratings of 25mA at 24VDC.

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

A: The main differences are product status and compliance certification. The 2-435166-9 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 2-5435166-9 is active product with ROHS3 compliance. The substitute part also provides defined electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the two parts?

A: Yes. The original part packaging is not specified, while the substitute part 2-5435166-9 is supplied in tube packaging. This may affect procurement quantities and handling procedures.

Q: What electrical parameters should be verified for substitution?

A: The substitute part is rated for 25mA at 24VDC. Applications requiring different voltage or current specifications must be evaluated against these defined ratings. The original part specifications for these parameters were not provided.

Q: Is the substitute part suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: The substitute part 2-5435166-9 operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative component evaluation.

Q: What is the mechanical life expectancy of the substitute part?

A: The 2-5435166-9 is rated for 7,000 mechanical cycles and 7,000 electrical cycles. This specification should be compared against application duty cycle requirements.
