Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 4-1825010-6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Circuit configuration: 6PDT
• Contact timing: Shorting (MBB)
• Switch function: On-On
• Current rating: 300mA AC
• Voltage rating: 115V AC

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Termination style: Gull Wing
• Contact material: Copper Alloy
• Contact finish: Silver
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 80°C
• Mechanical life: 15,000 Cycles
• Electrical life: 15,000 Cycles

The substitute part 4-1825010-2 maintains full equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the 4-1825010-2 is active and available, whereas the 4-1825010-6 is obsolete. Secondary differences include mounting configuration detail (right angle specification) and packaging format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 4-1825010-2 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 4-1825010-6. Both components share identical electrical specifications (6PDT, 300mA AC, 115V AC) and mechanical characteristics (surface mount gull wing termination, copper alloy silver-plated contacts, 15,000 cycle life rating, -40°C to 80°C operating range).

Selection of the 4-1825010-2 is appropriate for:

• Direct replacement in existing designs currently using the 4-1825010-6
• New production designs requiring 6PDT slide switch functionality at 300mA AC and 115V AC
• Applications requiring surface mount right angle configuration with gull wing termination

The 4-1825010-2 maintains active product status with established supply availability, eliminating obsolescence risk associated with the 4-1825010-6. Both components carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9050) classifications.
