TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH MHS233K Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH MHS233K is a slide switch with DP3T (Double Pole Triple Throw) circuit configuration, rated for 300mA AC at 125V. This through-hole mounted component features a baton actuator with 10.00mm length and silver-plated copper alloy contacts. The MHS233K is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The substitute part 1-1825289-0 provides functional continuity with identical electrical and mechanical specifications while maintaining active product status.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MHS233K with part 1-1825289-0 is based on complete electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both components share identical specifications across all critical selection criteria:

Electrical Parameters: Circuit configuration (DP3T), current rating (300mA AC), voltage rating (125V AC), contact timing (Shorting MBB), and switch function (On-On-On) are identical.

Mechanical Parameters: Actuator type (Baton), actuator length (10.00mm), contact material (Copper Alloy), contact finish (Silver), mounting type (Through Hole), termination style (PC Pin), switch travel (2.00mm), mechanical life (15,000 cycles), electrical life (15,000 cycles), and operating force (600gf) are identical.

Environmental Parameters: Operating temperature range (-20°C to 85°C) is identical.

Regulatory Parameters: Both components maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification.

The primary distinction is product status: MHS233K is obsolete while 1-1825289-0 is active, with the latter also providing RoHS3 compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH 1-1825289-0 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete MHS233K. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The MHS233K is classified as obsolete. The 1-1825289-0 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All electrical parameters (DP3T circuit, 300mA AC, 125V AC rating) and mechanical parameters (baton actuator, 10.00mm length, through-hole mounting, PC pin termination) are identical between the two parts.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification. The substitute part provides additional RoHS3 compliance certification, meeting enhanced environmental standards.

Packaging Consideration: The MHS233K is supplied in standard packaging, while 1-1825289-0 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection depends on procurement volume requirements.

For applications requiring the MHS233K, direct substitution with 1-1825289-0 is supported by complete parameter equivalence and active product status.
