GDR10 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GDR10 is a DIP rocker switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, configured as a single-pole single-throw (SPST) switch with 10 positions. The device is rated for 25mA at 24VDC and features a through-hole mounting design with a flush rocker actuator. The GDR10 is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent parts to maintain design continuity and ensure ongoing component availability for production and field replacement applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The part 1825286-9 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete GDR10. Selection of this substitute is based on the following factors:

Product Status: The GDR10 is classified as obsolete, while 1825286-9 is active. Active product status ensures ongoing availability, manufacturing support, and compliance with current industry standards.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All electrical parameters (SPST circuit, 10 positions, 25mA, 24VDC) and mechanical parameters (rocker actuator, through-hole mounting, 0.100" pitch, 0.270" height) are identical between the two parts.

Manufacturing Consistency: Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches within the GDR series, ensuring design continuity and manufacturing process alignment.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9065) classifications. The substitute part 1825286-9 maintains the same functional and physical characteristics required for direct replacement in existing designs.

Inventory Availability: The substitute part 1825286-9 is currently in stock with 746 units available, providing immediate procurement capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1825286-9 be used as a direct replacement for GDR10 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. The 1825286-9 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the GDR10. All critical parameters including circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, actuator type, mounting type, pitch, and height above board are identical. No PCB layout modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the GDR10?

A: The GDR10 is classified as obsolete. The 1825286-9 is an active product from the same manufacturer and series, ensuring continued component availability and manufacturing support.

Q: Are there any differences in compliance or certification between GDR10 and 1825286-9?

A: Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The GDR10 is RoHS non-compliant with MSL 1 rating. The 1825286-9 has RoHS status listed as not applicable and MSL as not applicable, reflecting updated product documentation standards.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that define substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by SPST circuit configuration, 10-position design, 25mA current rating, and 24VDC voltage rating. Contact material (copper alloy) and finish (gold plating) must also match.

Q: What are the key mechanical parameters that define substitution compatibility?

A: Mechanical compatibility is determined by rocker actuator type, flush recessed actuator level, through-hole mounting, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 0.270" (6.85mm) height above board, and operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C.

Q: Is the 1825286-9 available in the same packaging as the GDR10?

A: Both parts feature identical physical dimensions, mounting configuration, and termination style (PC pin through-hole). The parts are directly interchangeable at the board level.

Q: What is the mechanical and electrical life rating for the substitute part?

A: The 1825286-9 maintains the same mechanical and electrical life rating of 1,000 cycles as the original GDR10.
