Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SLB13814 is based on the following critical parameters that must be maintained or exceeded:

• Circuit configuration: SP3T topology required
• Current rating: Minimum 300mA AC capability
• Voltage rating: Minimum 125V AC, minimum 30V DC
• Mounting and termination: Through-hole with PC pin termination
• Operating temperature: -20°C to 85°C range
• Switch function: On-On-On configuration
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance required

The substitute part 1825255-7 from TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches meets these core electrical and mechanical requirements while offering enhanced performance characteristics in mechanical and electrical life ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1825255-7 is a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete SLB13814. Both parts maintain identical SP3T circuit topology, On-On-On switching function, 300mA current rating, and 125V AC voltage rating. Both are ROHS3 compliant and operate within the -20°C to 85°C temperature range.

The 1825255-7 offers extended electrical life (15,000 cycles versus 10,000 cycles) and is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the SLB13814 is specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1825255-7 directly replace the SLB13814 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical SP3T circuit configuration, On-On-On function, 300mA AC current rating, 125V AC voltage rating, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. Operating temperature ranges are identical.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The 1825255-7 provides extended electrical life (15,000 cycles versus 10,000 cycles) and is in active production. The SLB13814 is obsolete. DC voltage rating is specified for the SLB13814 (30V) but not provided for the 1825255-7.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the SLB13814 and 1825255-7 are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The SLB13814 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 1825255-7 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are through-hole components with PC pin termination suitable for PCB assembly.

Q: Does the difference in actuator length affect compatibility?

A: Actuator length differs between parts (4.00mm for SLB13814 versus 4.50mm for 1825255-7). Physical clearance in the application must be evaluated to ensure the substitute part fits within the available space.
