Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 4-435166-9 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 7000 series. The substitute part must maintain identical or superior performance across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• SPST circuit configuration
• 4-position switch arrangement
• 25mA current rating minimum
• 24VDC voltage rating
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Rocker actuator type with raised actuator level
• Through-hole mounting with PC pin termination
• 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing
• 0.340" (8.64mm) height above board
• Sealed, washable construction
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C or broader

Lifecycle and Compliance Considerations:

• Active product status preferred for long-term availability
• RoHS compliance status documented
• ECCN and HTSUS classifications maintained

The substitute part 4-5435166-9 meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria and is classified as active, ensuring continued availability and support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 4-5435166-9

The 4-5435166-9 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 4-435166-9. Both components belong to the TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 7000 series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for SPST 4-position rocker switch operation at 25mA and 24VDC.

Compliance Advantages:

The 4-5435166-9 holds active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturer support. This substitute achieves RoHS3 compliance, whereas the original 4-435166-9 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or environmental regulations, the 4-5435166-9 provides regulatory alignment without functional compromise.

Packaging Consideration:

The substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, whereas the original part was supplied in bulk. This packaging format is standard for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments. For manual assembly or low-volume applications, bulk quantities of the 4-5435166-9 can be obtained through standard procurement channels.

Inventory and Availability:

Both parts maintain active inventory status. The 4-5435166-9 is currently in stock with 1,067 pieces available, supporting immediate procurement for production and replacement applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 4-5435166-9 be used as a direct replacement for the 4-435166-9 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 4-5435166-9 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 4-435166-9. Both components feature identical SPST 4-position rocker switch configuration, 25mA current rating, 24VDC voltage rating, through-hole mounting with PC pin termination, and 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. The substitute part maintains the same operating temperature range, sealed construction, and washable design.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these two parts?

A: The original 4-435166-9 was supplied in bulk packaging. The substitute 4-5435166-9 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format.
