ADF06T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ADF06T is a 6-position DIP switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, configured as a single-pole single-throw (SPST) through-hole component rated for 25mA at 24VDC. This switch features a slide actuator with flush/recessed positioning and gold-plated copper alloy contacts suitable for applications requiring washable assemblies with tape seal protection.

The ADF06T is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent or substitute components is necessary to support ongoing maintenance, repair, and new design requirements where this part is specified or functionally required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ADF06T is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Circuit configuration must be SPST
• Number of positions must be 6
• Mounting type must be Through Hole
• Actuator level must be Flush or Recessed
• Pitch must be 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Washable capability must be present

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Current rating must equal or exceed 25mA
• Voltage rating must equal or exceed 24VDC
• Operating temperature range must encompass or exceed -30°C to 85°C

The substitute parts listed below satisfy the primary compatibility criteria. Variations in secondary parameters (current, voltage, temperature, contact material, and electrical life) are acceptable where the substitute part meets or exceeds the original specification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1-1825002-0 (TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches)

This substitute is manufactured by the same original equipment manufacturer as the ADF06T and maintains the same series designation (ADF). The part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability. The 1-1825002-0 achieves ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements that the obsolete ADF06T does not meet. Electrical and current specifications are not provided in available documentation; however, the part shares the same base product number (1825002) and core mechanical/functional characteristics with the ADF06T. This substitute is suitable for applications where manufacturer continuity and regulatory compliance are priorities.

209-6LPST (CTS Electrocomponents)

This substitute is manufactured by CTS Electrocomponents and is currently in active production. The 209-6LPST exceeds the ADF06T specifications in current rating (100mA versus 25mA) and electrical life (2,000 cycles versus 1,000 cycles). The operating temperature range extends to -40°C, providing additional low-temperature capability. The voltage rating is specified at 20VDC, which is below the ADF06T's 24VDC rating; however, this represents a design trade-off that must be evaluated against specific application requirements. The part achieves ROHS3 compliance and includes epoxy-sealed terminals in addition to tape seal protection. This substitute is suitable for applications where enhanced current capacity, extended electrical life, and broader temperature range are beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-1825002-0 directly replace the ADF06T in all applications?

A: The 1-1825002-0 shares the same mechanical form factor, mounting type, pitch, and core SPST 6-position configuration as the ADF06T. Electrical specifications (current and voltage ratings) are not documented for the 1-1825002-0; therefore, compatibility must be confirmed against specific application requirements. The part is manufactured by the same original equipment manufacturer and is currently in active production.

Q: Is the 209-6LPST suitable for 24VDC applications?

A: The 209-6LPST is rated for 20VDC maximum. Applications requiring 24VDC operation must evaluate whether this voltage differential is acceptable for the specific circuit design. The 209-6LPST exceeds the ADF06T in current capacity (100mA versus 25mA) and electrical life (2,000 cycles versus 1,000 cycles).

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The ADF06T is RoHS non-compliant, while both substitute parts (1-1825002-0 and 209-6LPST) are ROHS3 compliant. RoHS compliance is a regulatory requirement in many markets and applications. If the original design specification does not mandate RoHS compliance, this difference is not a functional barrier to substitution.

Q: Are there mechanical differences between these parts?

A: All three parts share the same 6-position through-hole configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and flush/recessed actuator levels. The ADF06T height above board is 0.189" (4.80mm), while the 209-6LPST is 0.180" (4.57mm). This 0.009" difference is within typical PCB assembly tolerances. The 1-1825002-0 height is not specified.

Q: What is the difference between "Slide (Standard)" and "Standard" actuator types?

A: Both designations refer to standard slide actuator operation. The 1-1825002-0 documentation lists "Standard" actuator type without the "Slide" descriptor; however, the part is functionally equivalent in actuator operation to the ADF06T.

Q: Can I use the 209-6LPST in a design originally specified for the ADF06T?

A: The 209-6LPST is mechanically and functionally compatible with the ADF06T in terms of mounting, pitch, and circuit configuration. The primary design consideration is the voltage rating difference (20VDC versus 24VDC). If the application operates at or below 20VDC, the 209-6LPST is suitable. The enhanced current capacity (100mA) and extended electrical life (2,000 cycles) provide additional design margin.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitutes?

A: The 1-1825002-0 is supplied in Bulk packaging. The 209-6LPST is supplied in Tube packaging. Packaging selection may affect procurement, handling, and assembly processes.
