ASF62G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ASF62G is an active-status slide switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches. This 6PDT (six-pole double-throw) switch is designed for through-hole mounting applications requiring low-voltage switching at 20V AC/DC with a current capacity of 0.4VA. The switch features a screwdriver slot actuator, gold-plated copper alloy contacts, and is rated for 15,000 mechanical and electrical cycles. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide procurement flexibility, support supply chain continuity, and accommodate specific packaging or compliance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ASF62G is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The primary substitute part, 6-1825011-2, is classified as a direct equivalent based on identical specifications across all critical switching parameters: 6PDT circuit configuration, 0.4VA current rating at 20V AC/DC, screwdriver slot actuator with flush length, gold-plated copper alloy contacts, through-hole mounting with PC pin termination, -40°C to 80°C operating temperature range, 2.79mm switch travel, and 15,000-cycle mechanical and electrical life ratings.

The key parameters determining substitution are:

• Circuit configuration (6PDT)
• Contact timing (Shorting/MBB)
• Current and voltage ratings (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC)
• Actuator type and length (Screwdriver Slot, Flush)
• Contact material and finish (Copper Alloy, Gold)
• Mounting and termination (Through Hole, PC Pin)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C to 80°C)
• Mechanical and electrical life (15,000 cycles)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ASF62G and 6-1825011-2 are active-status products from TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on packaging requirements and regulatory compliance status.

The ASF62G is supplied in bulk packaging and carries undefined REACH status. The 6-1825011-2 is supplied in tube packaging and is ROHS3 compliant with REACH Unaffected status, making it suitable for applications with regulatory compliance requirements. Both parts share the same ECCN classification (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8536.50.9050).

For applications requiring ROHS3 compliance or REACH documentation, the 6-1825011-2 is the appropriate selection. For applications without specific compliance mandates, either part satisfies the electrical and mechanical requirements. Packaging format (bulk versus tube) should be evaluated based on inventory management and assembly process requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are ASF62G and 6-1825011-2 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically identical with 6PDT configuration, 0.4VA current rating at 20V AC/DC, identical contact materials and finishes, and equivalent electrical life ratings of 15,000 cycles.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (ASF62G supplied in bulk; 6-1825011-2 supplied in tube) and regulatory compliance status (6-1825011-2 is ROHS3 compliant with REACH Unaffected status; ASF62G has undefined REACH status).

Q: Can I use 6-1825011-2 as a direct replacement for ASF62G in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 6-1825011-2 is mechanically and electrically equivalent to the ASF62G. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through identical actuator type, length, mounting type, and termination style. Electrical compatibility is confirmed through identical circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, contact materials, and operating temperature range.

Q: Does packaging format affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging format (bulk versus tube) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging selection is based on procurement, inventory, and assembly process requirements.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs requiring ROHS3 compliance?

A: The 6-1825011-2 is ROHS3 compliant and should be specified for applications with ROHS3 compliance requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for -40°C to 80°C operating temperature range.

Q: What is the mechanical life expectancy for both parts?

A: Both parts are rated for 15,000 mechanical cycles and 15,000 electrical cycles.
