Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 8-435626-6 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: SPST
• Number of Positions: 2
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Actuator Level: Flush, Recessed
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Washable: Yes
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 1825006-1 satisfies all mandatory parameters. While the actuator type differs (standard versus rocker), both configurations maintain the same electrical circuit topology, switching positions, and physical mounting interface. The substitute part is classified as active, ensuring continued availability and support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 1825006-1 serves as the active equivalent for the obsolete 8-435626-6. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The substitute part maintains active status with TE Connectivity, ensuring long-term availability, technical support, and supply chain continuity.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, meeting equivalent environmental and handling requirements. The substitute part carries explicit REACH Unaffected status, providing additional regulatory clarity.

Functional Equivalence: Both switches maintain identical circuit topology (SPST), switching positions (2), mounting interface (through hole), and actuator positioning (flush, recessed). These parameters ensure direct functional replacement in existing circuit designs.

Manufacturing Continuity: The substitute part is available in bulk packaging with current inventory levels, supporting both prototype and production-volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1825006-1 directly replace the 8-435626-6 in existing designs?

A: The 1825006-1 provides functional equivalence for SPST switching applications. The primary difference is the actuator type (standard versus rocker). Both maintain identical circuit configuration, switching positions, and through-hole mounting interface. Physical layout verification is required to confirm actuator clearance and user interface compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between rocker and standard actuators?

A: Both actuator types operate the same SPST switching mechanism. The rocker actuator features a lever-style design, while the standard actuator uses a slide mechanism. Both are classified as flush, recessed actuators and operate within the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

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

A: The provided data for the substitute part does not include current rating and voltage rating specifications. Verification of these electrical parameters with TE Connectivity technical documentation is necessary to confirm equivalence for applications requiring specific current or voltage ratings.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The original part was supplied in standard packaging. The substitute part 1825006-1 is available in bulk packaging, suitable for production assembly and inventory management.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the 8-435626-6 and 1825006-1 are ROHS3 compliant. The substitute part additionally carries explicit REACH Unaffected status, providing enhanced regulatory documentation for supply chain compliance.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these switches?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly processes.
