ADP10 DIP Switch Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ADP10 is a 10-position DIP switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, configured as a Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) switch with piano actuator. This component is rated for 25mA at 24VDC and is designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. The ADP10 is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support, maintenance, and production continuity. Substitute parts listed herein maintain functional compatibility based on critical electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ADP10 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPST)
• Number of positions (10)
• Current rating (25mA minimum)
• Voltage rating (24VDC)
• Contact finish (Gold)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Actuator type (Piano)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The substitute parts listed maintain these core parameters, ensuring direct functional replacement in applications designed for the ADP10. Variations in secondary parameters such as body material, operating temperature range, and mechanical life cycles do not preclude substitution but should be evaluated within specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

3-1571999-6 (TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH): This part is the direct TE Connectivity equivalent to the obsolete ADP10. It maintains the same manufacturer lineage (ALCOSWITCH series) and shares the core ADP series designation. The 3-1571999-6 is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance, making it the preferred choice for new designs and legacy system updates. This part is available in tube packaging with 933 units in stock. The transition from ADP10 to 3-1571999-6 represents the manufacturer's current product offering for this switch category.

KAP1110E (E-Switch): The KAP1110E provides an alternative from a different manufacturer (E-Switch) while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility. This part matches the ADP10 in current rating (25mA), voltage rating (24VDC), actuator type (piano), mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle), and pitch spacing (0.100"). The KAP1110E is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Notable differences include extended mechanical and electrical life ratings (2,000 cycles versus 1,000 cycles) and an expanded operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). The KAP1110E is not washable, whereas the ADP10 is washable. This part is available in tube packaging with 2,487 units in stock.

Compliance Considerations: Both substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, addressing regulatory requirements that the obsolete ADP10 does not meet. For applications requiring REACH compliance documentation, the KAP1110E provides explicit REACH unaffected status, while the 3-1571999-6 shows vendor-undefined REACH status and should be verified with the manufacturer for specific compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3-1571999-6 be used as a direct replacement for the ADP10? A: Yes. The 3-1571999-6 is the active production equivalent from TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH. It maintains the same circuit configuration (SPST), position count (10), current rating (25mA), voltage rating (24VDC), actuator type (piano), mounting type (through-hole, right-angle), and pitch spacing (0.100"). This part is the recommended choice for ADP10 replacement.

Q: What are the key differences between the 3-1571999-6 and KAP1110E? A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically compatible with the ADP10. The 3-1571999-6 is from TE Connectivity (same manufacturer as ADP10), while the KAP1110E is from E-Switch. The KAP1110E offers extended mechanical and electrical life (2,000 cycles versus unspecified for 3-1571999-6) and a wider operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus unspecified for 3-1571999-6). The ADP10 and 3-1571999-6 are washable, while the KAP1110E is not washable.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both the 3-1571999-6 and KAP1110E are ROHS3 compliant. The original ADP10 is RoHS non-compliant, making either substitute suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the pitch spacing, and does it match across all three parts? A: The pitch spacing is 0.100" (2.54mm) for the ADP10 and KAP1110E. The 3-1571999-6 pitch spacing is not specified in available documentation but is expected to match the standard 0.100" spacing based on the ADP series designation.

Q: Can the KAP1110E be used in applications where washability is required? A: No. The KAP1110E is not washable, whereas the ADP10 is washable. If washability is a requirement, the 3-1571999-6 (which is washable) is the appropriate choice.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts? A: All three parts (ADP10, 3-1571999-6, and KAP1110E) have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life and no special moisture handling requirements.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the substitute parts? A: The 3-1571999-6 is packaged in tubes with 933 units in stock. The KAP1110E is also packaged in tubes with 2,487 units in stock. The original ADP10 packaging is listed as "-" (not specified) with 859 units in stock.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs? A: For new designs, the 3-1571999-6 is recommended as it maintains the same manufacturer lineage and is the active production equivalent. The KAP1110E is suitable as an alternative if extended mechanical life or wider operating temperature range is beneficial to the application.
