TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 435802-5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 435802-5 is a right-angle DIP switch featuring 6 positions with a single-pole single-throw (SPST) circuit configuration and piano actuator mechanism. This through-hole component is designed for applications requiring manual switch selection in compact form factors. The part is currently in active product status with 775 units available in inventory.

Identification of equivalent and substitute parts becomes necessary when the primary part reaches end-of-life status, when inventory constraints occur, or when design requirements necessitate enhanced electrical specifications such as defined voltage and current ratings.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 435802-5 is based on strict equivalence of the following core parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Circuit configuration: SPST
• Number of positions: 6
• Actuator type: Piano with raised level
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Series family: 7000
• Manufacturer: TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches

The substitute part 5435802-5 maintains full compatibility across all mechanical and functional parameters. This part provides additional electrical specifications including defined current rating (25mA) and voltage rating (24VDC), which were not specified in the base 435802-5 model. The substitute part operates within the same mechanical envelope and termination style, ensuring direct functional replacement in applications where these electrical parameters are acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Production Applications: The 435802-5 remains the primary selection for new designs due to its active product status and current inventory availability of 775 units. This part maintains full compatibility with existing designs and procurement channels.

For Applications Requiring RoHS Compliance: The substitute part 5435802-5 is ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements. However, this part carries a Last Time Buy status, indicating limited future availability. Designs utilizing this substitute should incorporate long-term inventory planning.

For Applications with Defined Electrical Requirements: When circuit designs require explicit current and voltage specifications, the 5435802-5 substitute provides rated electrical parameters (25mA at 24VDC) that enable precise circuit analysis and component selection validation. The 435802-5 does not specify these electrical parameters.

Compliance Considerations: Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and HTSUS code 8536.50.9065. The 435802-5 is RoHS non-compliant with REACH affected status. The 5435802-5 is ROHS3 compliant with vendor-undefined REACH status. Selection between these parts must account for applicable regulatory requirements in the target application and market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5435802-5 directly replace the 435802-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical and functional specifications including circuit configuration (SPST), position count (6), actuator type (piano, raised), mounting type (through hole), and series family (7000). The 5435802-5 provides additional electrical specifications not present in the 435802-5 datasheet.

Q: What is the significance of the Last Time Buy status on the 5435802-5?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that TE Connectivity has announced end-of-life for this part number. Current inventory of 4451 units represents the final production lot. New designs should not select this part for long-term production unless accompanied by comprehensive inventory planning and alternative part qualification.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: The 5435802-5 specifies height above board (0.290" / 7.37mm), length (0.680" / 17.27mm), and pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm). The 435802-5 does not provide these dimensional specifications. Both parts use PC pin termination and are mounted through hole with right-angle orientation.

Q: What contact material and finish differences exist?

A: The 5435802-5 specifies copper alloy contacts with gold finish. The 435802-5 does not specify contact material or finish. Gold-plated copper alloy contacts provide enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability compared to unspecified contact systems.

Q: How do the operating temperature ranges compare?

A: The 5435802-5 operates across -55°C to 105°C. The 435802-5 does not specify an operating temperature range. Applications requiring operation outside standard industrial temperature ranges should verify compatibility with the 435802-5 through direct manufacturer consultation.

Q: What is the mechanical and electrical life rating?

A: The 5435802-5 is rated for 7,000 mechanical cycles and 7,000 electrical cycles. The 435802-5 does not specify cycle life ratings. For applications requiring high-cycle reliability data, the 5435802-5 provides documented performance specifications.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both the 435802-5 and 5435802-5 are supplied in tube packaging, enabling direct substitution in procurement and assembly processes without packaging format changes.

Q: What regulatory compliance differences should influence part selection?

A: The 435802-5 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. The 5435802-5 is ROHS3 compliant with vendor-undefined REACH status. Applications subject to RoHS3 requirements must use the 5435802-5. Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9065) classifications.
