ASF42RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ASF42RL is a slide switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, classified as a 4PDT (four-pole double-throw) surface mount switch with right-angle termination. This component is rated for 300mA AC at 115V and features a screwdriver slot actuator with flush length. The switch operates with shorting contact timing (MBB) and is designed for on-on switching applications. The product maintains active status in the manufacturer's portfolio. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number is unavailable or when inventory requirements necessitate alternative component selection.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ASF42RL with alternative part numbers is permissible when the following electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical across components:

• Circuit configuration (4PDT)
• Current rating (300mA AC)
• Voltage rating (115V AC)
• Contact timing mechanism (Shorting/MBB)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Mounting configuration (Surface Mount, Right Angle)
• Termination style (Gull Wing)
• Actuator type (Screwdriver Slot)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C to 80°C)
• Mechanical and electrical life ratings (15,000 Cycles)

The substitute part 3-1825011-5 meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters, confirming functional equivalence for direct replacement applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ASF42RL and 3-1825011-5 are manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches and maintain active product status. The components are functionally equivalent across all specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection between these part numbers may be based on inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or internal part numbering conventions within procurement systems. Both components are classified under ECCN EAR99 and share identical HTSUS coding, confirming regulatory equivalence for export and import purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3-1825011-5 be used as a direct replacement for the ASF42RL?

A: Yes. The 3-1825011-5 is functionally equivalent to the ASF42RL. All electrical parameters (300mA AC, 115V AC, 4PDT circuit), mechanical specifications (15,000 cycle life, 2.79mm travel), and physical characteristics (surface mount right angle, gull wing termination, screwdriver slot actuator) are identical between the two part numbers.

Q: Are there differences in packaging or moisture sensitivity between these parts?

A: The ASF42RL lists moisture sensitivity level as not applicable. The 3-1825011-5 specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited). Both components are surface mount with gull wing termination. Packaging specifications are not provided in the technical data for either part number.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching the following parameters: circuit configuration (4PDT), current rating (300mA AC), voltage rating (115V AC), contact timing (Shorting/MBB), switch function (On-On), mounting type (Surface Mount, Right Angle), termination style (Gull Wing), actuator type (Screwdriver Slot), operating temperature range (-40°C to 80°C), and mechanical/electrical life (15,000 cycles).

Q: Do both parts comply with the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the ASF42RL and 3-1825011-5 share identical ECCN classification (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8536.50.9050), confirming equivalent regulatory treatment for trade and export purposes.

Q: What is the operating force specification for these switches?

A: Both components specify an operating force of 950gf (gram-force), indicating identical actuation requirements and user interface characteristics.
