TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 435469-7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 435469-7 is a DIP switch with 4PST circuit configuration, rocker actuator, and 25mA/24VDC rating designed for through-hole mounting applications. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The 7000 series rocker-actuated switch provides a raised actuator profile with gold-plated copper alloy contacts suitable for industrial control and switching applications operating across -55°C to 105°C.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 435469-7 is based on alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters within the DIP switch product category. The primary substitute identified is the TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 1825006-5 from the active GDS series.

Substitution logic is determined by the following parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Current Rating: Both parts rated at 25mA
• Voltage Rating: Both parts rated at 24VDC
• Contact Material: Both utilize copper alloy with gold finish
• Termination Style: Both employ PC pin termination
• Pitch: Both maintain 0.100" (2.54mm) full pitch spacing

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Both are through-hole mounted
• Actuator Level: Both feature raised/flush actuator profiles suitable for DIP switch applications
• Body Material: Both constructed from thermoplastic materials (polyester vs. polyphenylene sulfide)

Functional Differences: The 1825006-5 operates as a SPST switch with 4 positions, compared to the 4PST single-position configuration of the 435469-7. The substitute features a slide actuator (standard) rather than a rocker actuator, and operates across a narrower temperature range (-30°C to 85°C). The substitute exhibits reduced mechanical and electrical life ratings (1,000 cycles versus 7,000 cycles) and includes washable design with tape seal features.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The 435469-7 is classified as obsolete, making the active 1825006-5 the designated manufacturer substitute. The 1825006-5 maintains active production status within the TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH portfolio and carries ROHS3 compliance certification, aligning with current regulatory requirements.

Compliance and Certification: The substitute part 1825006-5 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, providing regulatory alignment for applications subject to environmental compliance mandates. The original 435469-7 carries "Not Applicable" RoHS status due to its obsolete classification.

Electrical Parameter Alignment: Both parts share identical current (25mA) and voltage (24VDC) ratings with matching contact material specifications (copper alloy, gold finish). This electrical equivalence supports direct functional substitution in circuits designed for the original part's electrical characteristics.

Mechanical and Operational Differences: Selection of the 1825006-5 requires evaluation of application-specific requirements regarding:

• Circuit configuration change from 4PST to SPST with 4-position capability
• Actuator profile change from rocker to slide configuration
• Operating temperature range reduction from -55°C to 105°C to -30°C to 85°C
• Mechanical and electrical life reduction from 7,000 cycles to 1,000 cycles
• Physical profile reduction in height above board (9.14mm to 2.90mm)

Applications operating within the narrower temperature range and lower cycle life requirements of the substitute part are suitable for direct replacement. Applications requiring the extended temperature range or higher cycle life ratings of the original part require alternative component evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1825006-5 directly replace the 435469-7 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible only when application requirements align with the substitute part's specifications. The 1825006-5 operates within a narrower temperature range (-30°C to 85°C versus -55°C to 105°C) and provides reduced mechanical/electrical life (1,000 cycles versus 7,000 cycles). Applications operating within these reduced parameters are compatible. Applications requiring extended temperature operation or higher cycle life require alternative component selection.

Q: What are the key electrical differences between these parts?

A: Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings of 25mA current and 24VDC voltage with matching copper alloy, gold-plated contact specifications. The primary electrical difference is circuit configuration: the 435469-7 provides 4PST (four pole, single throw) switching, while the 1825006-5 provides SPST (single pole, single throw) switching with 4 selectable positions. This configuration change affects circuit topology and switching capability.

Q: How do the actuator types differ?

A: The 435469-7 features a rocker actuator with raised profile (0.360" above board), while the 1825006-5 uses a slide actuator with flush, recessed profile (0.114" above board). Rocker actuators provide tactile feedback through a rocking motion, while slide actuators operate through linear motion. The height difference affects PCB layout and enclosure design considerations.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 435469-7 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 1825006-5 is supplied in tube packaging. The 1825006-5 includes tape seal features and is washable, providing additional handling and cleaning capabilities not present in the original part.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The 1825006-5 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The original 435469-7 carries "Not Applicable" RoHS status due to obsolescence. For applications subject to environmental compliance requirements, the 1825006-5 provides regulatory alignment.

Q: Can the 1825006-5 be used in high-temperature applications?

A: No. The 1825006-5 operates across -30°C to 85°C, which is narrower than the original part's -55°C to 105°C range. Applications requiring operation at temperatures below -30°C or above 85°C are not suitable for this substitute and require alternative component evaluation.

Q: What is the mechanical life difference, and does it matter?

A: The 435469-7 provides 7,000 mechanical cycles, while the 1825006-5 provides 1,000 mechanical cycles. Applications with low actuation frequency (fewer than 1,000 total cycles over product lifetime) are unaffected. Applications requiring frequent switching or extended operational life should evaluate whether the reduced cycle rating meets application requirements.
