DRD10CE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DRD10CE is a rotary DIP switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, designed for through-hole mounting applications requiring BCD complement circuit configuration. This 10-position switch operates at 0.4VA and 20VAC/DC, featuring a rotary tool actuator with flush, recessed actuation level. The DRD10CE is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support, maintenance, and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DRD10CE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Circuit configuration (BCD Complement)
• Number of positions (10)
• Current rating (0.4VA)
• Voltage rating (20VAC/DC)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Actuator type (Rotary for Tool)
• Actuator level (Flush, Recessed)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)

Physical Compatibility:

• Contact material (Copper Alloy)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Body material (Polyphenylene Sulfide)
• Height above board (0.256" / 6.50mm)
• Length (0.394" / 10.00mm)

Environmental Specifications:

• Operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C)
• Mechanical life (10,000 Steps)
• Electrical life (10,000 Steps)

The substitute part 1825007-1 meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 1825007-1 is a direct functional equivalent to the DRD10CE across all electrical, mechanical, and physical parameters. Selection between these parts is determined by the following factors:

Product Status Consideration: The DRD10CE is classified as obsolete, while 1825007-1 is active. For new designs, maintenance programs, or production continuity, 1825007-1 is the appropriate selection.

Compliance Status: The DRD10CE is RoHS non-compliant, whereas 1825007-1 is ROHS3 compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations or requiring compliance documentation must use 1825007-1.

Packaging: 1825007-1 is supplied in tube packaging, which may affect procurement, handling, and assembly processes compared to the unspecified packaging of the DRD10CE.

Inventory Availability: Both parts are available in stock. The DRD10CE has 967 pieces available, while 1825007-1 has 706 pieces available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1825007-1 be used as a direct replacement for DRD10CE in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1825007-1 is electrically and mechanically identical to the DRD10CE across all specified parameters, including circuit configuration, voltage and current ratings, actuator type, mounting configuration, and physical dimensions. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from DRD10CE to 1825007-1?

A: The DRD10CE is obsolete, while 1825007-1 is an active product. For ongoing production, maintenance, and new designs, 1825007-1 ensures continued availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Does 1825007-1 meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. 1825007-1 is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the DRD10CE is RoHS non-compliant. Applications requiring RoHS compliance must use 1825007-1.

Q: Are there any differences in electrical performance between DRD10CE and 1825007-1?

A: No. Both parts have identical electrical specifications: 0.4VA current rating, 20VAC/DC voltage rating, BCD complement circuit configuration, 10-position operation, and 10,000-step mechanical and electrical life ratings.

Q: Are there any differences in physical dimensions or mounting?

A: No. Both parts are identical in height above board (0.256" / 6.50mm), length (0.394" / 10.00mm), pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pin).

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

A: 1825007-1 is supplied in tube packaging. The DRD10CE packaging is not specified in the available data. Tube packaging affects handling, storage, and assembly line integration.

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

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -30°C to 85°C.

Q: Can I use DRD10CE if 1825007-1 is unavailable?

A: From a functional and electrical standpoint, yes. However, the DRD10CE is obsolete and may have limited availability. For new designs and long-term production, 1825007-1 is the recommended selection.
