DRS10RA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DRS10RA is a rotary DIP switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, configured as a 10-position BCD switch with through-hole, right-angle mounting and shaft actuator. The component is rated for 0.4VA at 20VAC/DC and features gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a mechanical and electrical life of 20,000 steps. This part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent alternatives for ongoing design support and procurement requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DRS10RA is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Circuit configuration (BCD), number of positions (10), actuator type (rotary with shaft), mounting method (through hole), and electrical ratings (0.4VA, 20VAC/DC). The substitute part 1-1825008-0 maintains functional compatibility through identical circuit type, position count, actuator configuration, and mounting orientation. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches and share the same series designation (DR).

Substitution is further validated by matching termination style (PC pin), pitch spacing (0.100"), and contact material specifications (copper alloy with gold finish). Operating temperature range and mechanical/electrical life specifications remain consistent between the main part and substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 1-1825008-0 provides functional equivalence to the DRS10RA across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both components are classified as obsolete products from the same manufacturer and series.

A significant distinction exists in regulatory compliance status. The DRS10RA is RoHS non-compliant, while 1-1825008-0 achieves ROHS3 compliance. For applications subject to RoHS directives or requiring compliance with current environmental regulations, 1-1825008-0 is the appropriate selection. The substitute part is also REACH Affected, indicating compliance with REACH chemical substance regulations, whereas the DRS10RA is REACH Unaffected.

Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9065) classifications, confirming equivalent export control and tariff treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-1825008-0 directly replace DRS10RA in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical circuit type (BCD), position count (10), actuator configuration (rotary with shaft), mounting method (through hole), electrical ratings (0.4VA, 20VAC/DC), and contact specifications (copper alloy, gold finish). PC pin termination and 0.100" pitch spacing are equivalent across both parts.

Q: What is the primary difference between DRS10RA and 1-1825008-0?

A: The primary difference is regulatory compliance. The 1-1825008-0 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH Affected, while the DRS10RA is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Unaffected. Both parts are obsolete.

Q: Are there secondary substitute options listed for 1-1825008-0?

A: The substitute part 1825008-2 is identified as an alternative within the same product family.

Q: Does mounting orientation differ between these parts?

A: The DRS10RA specifies right-angle mounting, while 1-1825008-0 specifies through-hole mounting. Both configurations are compatible with standard PCB layouts using 0.100" pitch spacing and PC pin termination.

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

A: Both the DRS10RA and 1-1825008-0 are rated for 20,000 steps of mechanical life and 20,000 steps of electrical life.

Q: Are these components suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Both parts operate within the temperature range of -30°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative component selection.
