TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 435470-5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 435470-5 is a DIP rocker switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration, rated for 25mA at 24VDC. This through-hole mounted component features a raised rocker actuator with gold-plated copper alloy contacts and operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The part maintains an active product status with 789 units currently in stock.

Identification of equivalent and substitute parts becomes necessary when the primary part number reaches end-of-life status, when inventory constraints occur, or when design revisions require component verification against functionally equivalent alternatives within the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 435470-5 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following categories:

Electrical Parameters: Circuit configuration (DPDT), number of positions (1), current rating (25mA), and voltage rating (24VDC) must be identical.

Mechanical Parameters: Actuator type (rocker), actuator level (raised), mounting type (through hole), termination style (PC pin), pitch (0.100"), height above board (0.360"), and length (0.480") must match exactly.

Material and Environmental Parameters: Contact material (copper alloy), contact finish (gold), body material (polyester with glass fill), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) must be preserved.

Performance Parameters: Mechanical life (7,000 cycles) and electrical life (7,000 cycles) must be equivalent or superior.

The substitute part 5-435470-5 meets all these criteria and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent within the TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 7000 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: The TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 435470-5 is the recommended choice for new designs and procurement. This part maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability of 789 units. The active status ensures continued manufacturer support, documentation accessibility, and supply chain reliability.

Substitute Selection: The part number 5-435470-5 functions as a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent. However, this part carries an obsolete product status, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability. Selection of the obsolete variant is appropriate only when existing inventory must be utilized or when design revisions specifically reference this legacy part number.

Compliance Consideration: The substitute part 5-435470-5 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the primary part 435470-5 lists RoHS status as not applicable. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The compliance difference does not affect functional interchangeability but may influence procurement decisions based on end-product regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5-435470-5 be used as a direct replacement for 435470-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters including circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, actuator type, mounting dimensions, and operating temperature range. Direct substitution is functionally valid.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The 435470-5 maintains active product status with current manufacturing, while 5-435470-5 is obsolete. The obsolete part also carries ROHS3 compliance certification. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Should new designs use 435470-5 or 5-435470-5?

A: New designs should specify 435470-5 due to its active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturer support. The obsolete part should be reserved for legacy system maintenance or when specific design documentation references the older part number.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The primary part 435470-5 is packaged in tubes with 789 units in current inventory. Packaging information for the substitute part 5-435470-5 is not specified in available documentation.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for substitution to be valid?

A: All electrical parameters (DPDT circuit, 25mA, 24VDC), mechanical parameters (rocker actuator, through-hole mounting, 0.100" pitch, 0.360" height, 0.480" length), material specifications (copper alloy contacts with gold finish, polyester body), and performance ratings (7,000 cycle life) must be identical. These parameters define functional equivalence.

Q: Can these parts be used in applications requiring ROHS compliance?

A: The substitute part 5-435470-5 is ROHS3 compliant. The primary part 435470-5 lists RoHS status as not applicable. Compliance requirements should be verified against end-product specifications before final part selection.
