Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 1-1825006-3 qualifies as a functional equivalent based on the following core parameters that determine substitution compatibility:

Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration: Both parts operate as SPST switches
• Number of positions: Both provide 8-position switching capability
• Mounting type: Both utilize through-hole mounting
• Actuator level: Both feature flush, recessed actuator design
• RoHS compliance: Both meet ROHS3 requirements
• Moisture sensitivity: Both rated at MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Tariff classification: Both share HTSUS code 8536.50.9065

Functional Differences: The substitute part 1-1825006-3 employs a slide (standard) actuator mechanism rather than a rocker actuator. This represents a change in the actuation method while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within the through-hole DIP switch category. The substitute part is active and currently in production, providing long-term availability assurance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 1-1825006-3

The TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 1-1825006-3 is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 5-435626-5. This part maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility through matching SPST circuit configuration, 8-position capability, through-hole mounting, and flush recessed actuator level.

Compliance Status: Both the original and substitute parts meet ROHS3 compliance requirements and share identical moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1). The substitute part carries REACH Unaffected status, confirming regulatory alignment for European market applications.

Availability Advantage: The substitute part 1-1825006-3 holds active product status with current production inventory of 2,980 pieces, ensuring reliable long-term component sourcing compared to the obsolete original part.

Actuator Consideration: The transition from rocker to slide (standard) actuator represents the primary mechanical difference. Both actuator types provide flush, recessed operation suitable for standard DIP switch applications. The slide actuator mechanism is the current industry standard for this switch category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-1825006-3 directly replace the 5-435626-5 in existing designs?

A: The 1-1825006-3 provides functional equivalence for SPST switching applications with 8-position capability and through-hole mounting. The primary design change involves actuator type (slide versus rocker). PCB layout compatibility depends on identical pitch and mounting footprint specifications. Physical board space and actuator access requirements should be evaluated for your specific application.

Q: What is the difference between rocker and slide actuators in DIP switches?

A: Rocker actuators feature a pivoting lever mechanism, while slide actuators use a linear push-pull mechanism. Both provide on-off switching functionality. The slide actuator in the substitute part represents the current manufacturing standard for this switch series and offers equivalent electrical performance.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: The substitute part 1-1825006-3 specifies 25mA current rating and 24VDC voltage rating. The original part does not provide these electrical specifications in available documentation. For applications requiring specific electrical parameters, the substitute part's ratings should be verified against your circuit requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the washable feature on the substitute part?

A: The 1-1825006-3 is rated as washable, indicating compatibility with aqueous cleaning processes used in modern PCB manufacturing. The original 5-435626-5 is not washable. This feature may provide manufacturing process advantages in high-volume production environments.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: The substitute part 1-1825006-3 specifies an operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C. The original part does not provide temperature specifications. Applications requiring operation outside this range require specific evaluation.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The substitute part 1-1825006-3 is supplied in tube packaging with tape seal features. Original packaging specifications for the 5-435626-5 are not documented. Packaging format may affect handling, storage, and integration into automated assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9065) classifications. The substitute part carries REACH Unaffected status. Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special storage requirements.
