Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ATE1EGPC104 is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility within the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Circuit configuration must be SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw)
• Current rating must support minimum 0.4VA (AC/DC)
• Voltage rating must support minimum 20V AC and 20V DC
• Termination style must be PC Pin for PCB mounting compatibility

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting type must be Through Hole
• Actuator type must be Standard Round
• Bushing thread configuration must be Unthreaded
• Non-illuminated configuration required

Environmental Compatibility:

• Operating temperature range must encompass or exceed -20°C ~ 80°C
• Epoxy sealed terminals required for environmental protection

The substitute part 1825219-6 meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters, with enhanced performance characteristics in electrical life and operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ATE1EGPC104 is classified as obsolete, necessitating transition to an active equivalent for new designs and ongoing production support. The substitute part 1825219-6 provides full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original specification.

Compliance and Certification Status:

The substitute part 1825219-6 offers superior compliance posture:

• RoHS3 Compliant (versus no RoHS status on main part)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) versus Not Applicable on main part
• REACH status listed as Vendor Undefined (requires clarification with supplier)
• Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9065) classifications

Performance Enhancements:

The substitute part provides measurable improvements:

• Extended operating temperature range: -30°C ~ 85°C (versus -20°C ~ 80°C)
• Significantly increased electrical life: 60,000 cycles (versus 10,000 cycles)
• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain support

Design Considerations:

The actuator length difference (5.61mm versus 6.00mm) represents a 0.39mm reduction. This minor dimensional variation requires verification against panel cutout specifications and mechanical clearance requirements in the target application. The switch function difference (On-Off-On versus On-On) must be evaluated against circuit requirements; the substitute provides an additional center-off position not present in the original design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1825219-6 be used as a direct replacement for the ATE1EGPC104?

A: The 1825219-6 meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters: SPDT circuit, 0.4VA rating, 20V AC/DC voltage, through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, and epoxy sealed terminals. However, two functional differences exist: the actuator length is 0.39mm shorter (5.61mm versus 6.00mm), and the switch function is On-Off-On rather than On-On. Panel cutout compatibility and circuit function requirements must be verified before implementation.

Q: What is the significance of the switch function difference (On-On versus On-Off-On)?

A: The ATE1EGPC104 operates in On-On mode, where the switch transitions directly between two active positions with no neutral state. The 1825219-6 operates in On-Off-On mode, providing three positions: two active states and a center-off position. This functional difference affects circuit behavior and must be evaluated against the specific application requirements.

Q: Does the actuator length difference affect mechanical compatibility?

A: The substitute part features a 0.39mm shorter actuator (5.61mm versus 6.00mm). This dimensional variation requires verification against panel cutout specifications, actuator travel requirements, and mechanical clearance in the target assembly. Physical validation is necessary to confirm fit within the mechanical envelope.

Q: What compliance advantages does the 1825219-6 offer?

A: The substitute part is RoHS3 Compliant and carries Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), providing enhanced regulatory compliance for modern applications. The original part lists no RoHS status and Not Applicable MSL. Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: How does the electrical life rating affect component selection?

A: The 1825219-6 provides 60,000 electrical life cycles compared to 10,000 cycles for the ATE1EGPC104. This six-fold increase in rated cycle life indicates enhanced durability and extended operational lifespan, particularly beneficial for applications with frequent switching operations.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The ATE1EGPC104 is supplied with unspecified packaging (listed as "-"), while the 1825219-6 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging configuration may affect procurement quantities, handling procedures, and storage requirements.

Q: Is the 1825219-6 currently available?

A: Yes, the 1825219-6 is classified as Active product status with 1033 pieces in stock. The original ATE1EGPC104 is obsolete, making the substitute the recommended path for ongoing component sourcing.
