ASE62 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ASE62 is a slide switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, configured as a 6PDT (six-pole double-throw) switch rated for 300mA AC at 115V. This through-hole mounted component features a polyamide actuator with silver-plated copper alloy contacts and is designed for on-on switching applications with mechanical and electrical life ratings of 15,000 cycles.

The ASE62 carries an obsolete product status. Locating equivalent or substitute components is necessary to support ongoing maintenance, repair, and production requirements for legacy systems utilizing this switch configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ASE62 are qualified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Circuit configuration: 6PDT
• Contact timing: Shorting (MBB)
• Current rating: 300mA AC minimum
• Voltage rating: 115V AC minimum
• Switch function: On-On

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Actuator length: 2.79mm
• Contact material: Copper alloy with silver finish
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 80°C minimum
• Mechanical life: 15,000 cycles minimum
• Electrical life: 15,000 cycles minimum
• Operating force: 950gf

Mounting and Termination Considerations: Substitutes may differ in mounting type (through-hole versus surface mount) and termination style (PC pin versus gull wing) provided the electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent. Such differences require board-level design verification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

3-1825010-7 (Direct Substitute - Recommended for Through-Hole Applications)

The 3-1825010-7 is the primary equivalent substitute for the ASE62. This part maintains identical electrical specifications, mechanical characteristics, and through-hole PC pin termination. The 3-1825010-7 carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. This part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, providing enhanced regulatory compliance compared to the obsolete ASE62. The 3-1825010-7 is suitable for direct replacement in existing through-hole PCB designs without modification.

4-1825010-2 (Alternative Substitute - Surface Mount Configuration)

The 4-1825010-2 provides electrical and mechanical equivalence to the ASE62 but differs in mounting technology and termination style. This part features surface mount configuration with gull wing termination, requiring PCB redesign for implementation. The 4-1825010-2 is appropriate for new designs or board revisions where surface mount technology is preferred. This part carries active product status but does not specify RoHS compliance status.

Selection Criteria:

For direct replacement of ASE62 in existing through-hole designs, select 3-1825010-7. For new designs or board revisions incorporating surface mount technology, select 4-1825010-2. Both parts satisfy the electrical and mechanical requirements of the obsolete ASE62.
