ADE10 DIP Switch SPST 100mA 24V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ADE10 is a 10-position DIP switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, configured as a single-pole single-throw (SPST) switch rated for 100mA at 24VDC. This through-hole mounted component features a slide actuator with gold-plated copper alloy contacts and is designed for applications requiring manual circuit configuration or selection logic.

The ADE10 carries an obsolete product status, indicating that TE Connectivity has discontinued active production and support. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability for new designs, repairs, and production runs where original inventory becomes depleted.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ADE10 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 (SPST), number of positions (10), current rating (100mA), and voltage rating (24VDC) must be identical to ensure functional compatibility within the circuit.

Mechanical Parameters: Actuator type (slide standard), mounting method (through hole), termination style (PC pin), and pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm) must match to ensure physical compatibility with existing printed circuit board layouts and mechanical assemblies.

Environmental Parameters: Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C), contact material (copper alloy with gold finish), and body material (PPS) must be equivalent to maintain performance under specified operating conditions.

Life Ratings: Mechanical and electrical life cycles (1,000 cycles each) establish the expected operational durability and must be maintained in substitute parts.

The substitute part 1825057-9 meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct functional and mechanical equivalent to the ADE10.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 1825057-9 is a direct equivalent to the ADE10 across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection of 1825057-9 is supported by the following engineering considerations:

Product Status: The ADE10 is obsolete, while 1825057-9 carries active product status from TE Connectivity. Active status ensures continued availability, technical support, and manufacturing consistency.

Regulatory Compliance: The 1825057-9 is RoHS3 compliant, whereas the ADE10 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or customer requirements mandating RoHS compliance, 1825057-9 provides superior regulatory alignment.

Physical Compatibility: The height above board variance of 0.004" (0.10mm) between the two parts is negligible and does not impact PCB layout or mechanical assembly compatibility. All other dimensional parameters are identical.

Functional Equivalence: Electrical ratings, circuit configuration, actuator characteristics, and environmental specifications are identical between the two parts, ensuring drop-in compatibility in existing circuit designs.

Inventory Availability: 1825057-9 maintains significantly higher inventory levels (9,766 pieces) compared to the ADE10 (737 pieces), supporting production continuity and supply chain reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1825057-9 be used as a direct replacement for ADE10 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1825057-9 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the ADE10. All critical parameters including circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, actuator type, mounting method, and pitch spacing are identical. The parts are interchangeable for PCB assembly and circuit operation.

Q: What is the significance of the height above board difference between ADE10 and 1825057-9?

A: The ADE10 has a height of 0.232" (5.90mm) while 1825057-9 measures 0.228" (5.80mm), a difference of 0.004" (0.10mm). This variance is within typical manufacturing tolerances and does not affect PCB layout, component clearance, or mechanical assembly compatibility.

Q: Why is the ADE10 listed as obsolete?

A: TE Connectivity has discontinued the ADE10 from active production. Obsolete status indicates that the manufacturer no longer manufactures or supports this part number. The 1825057-9 serves as the active equivalent within the ADE series.

Q: Does the RoHS3 compliance of 1825057-9 affect electrical performance compared to the non-compliant ADE10?

A: No. RoHS3 compliance relates to material composition and environmental regulations, not electrical performance. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications and operating characteristics. The 1825057-9 offers improved regulatory compliance without performance trade-offs.

Q: What packaging format is 1825057-9 supplied in?

A: The 1825057-9 is supplied in tube packaging, whereas the ADE10 packaging format is not specified in the available data. Both parts use identical PC pin termination and through-hole mounting, ensuring compatibility regardless of packaging format.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental operating differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both the ADE10 and 1825057-9 operate across the identical temperature range of -30°C to 85°C. Moisture sensitivity level, contact material, and body material specifications are identical, ensuring equivalent performance under specified environmental conditions.

Q: What is the mechanical life expectancy of 1825057-9?

A: The 1825057-9 is rated for 1,000 mechanical cycles and 1,000 electrical cycles, identical to the ADE10. This rating defines the expected operational durability under normal switching conditions.
