Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ASF42G with equivalent part number 2-1825011-2 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical switching parameters: 4PDT circuit configuration, 0.4VA current rating at 20V (AC/DC), screwdriver slot actuator with flush length, through-hole mounting with PC pin termination, copper alloy contacts with gold finish, and identical mechanical and electrical life ratings of 15,000 cycles. Operating temperature range, switch travel distance, and operating force are identical between both parts.

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format and regulatory compliance status. The ASF42G is supplied in standard packaging with RoHS non-compliant status, while 2-1825011-2 is supplied in tube packaging and carries RoHS3 compliance certification. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches within the ASF series and maintain active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between ASF42G and 2-1825011-2 should be based on regulatory compliance requirements and packaging specifications for the target application.

ASF42G is appropriate for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated and standard packaging is acceptable. This part carries RoHS non-compliant status and REACH Affected designation.

2-1825011-2 is the appropriate selection for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance certification and REACH compliance. This part is supplied in tube packaging and carries full RoHS3 compliance status with REACH Unaffected designation. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical performance characteristics, ensuring functional interchangeability within compliant applications.

Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches and maintain active production status with current inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are ASF42G and 2-1825011-2 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically identical with matching 4PDT circuit configuration, 0.4VA current rating at 20V (AC/DC), identical contact timing (shorting MBB), and equivalent electrical life ratings of 15,000 cycles. They share identical voltage ratings, contact materials, and contact finishes.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and regulatory compliance status. ASF42G uses standard packaging and carries RoHS non-compliant status, while 2-1825011-2 is supplied in tube packaging and carries RoHS3 compliance certification. Both parts are REACH-designated differently.

Q: Are the mechanical specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical mechanical specifications including 2.79mm switch travel, 950gf operating force, 15,000 cycle mechanical life, screwdriver slot actuator with flush length, and through-hole PC pin termination.

Q: Can ASF42G be used in applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: No. ASF42G carries RoHS non-compliant status. Applications requiring RoHS compliance must use 2-1825011-2, which carries RoHS3 compliance certification.

Q: Do both parts operate within the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both parts operate within the identical temperature range of -40°C to 80°C.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: ASF42G is supplied in standard packaging, while 2-1825011-2 is supplied in tube packaging. The choice between packaging formats depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management specifications.

Q: Are both parts currently in production?

A: Yes. Both ASF42G and 2-1825011-2 maintain active product status with current inventory availability from TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches.
