Is there a pin-compatible replacement for TE-04?

Yuandi TM-04 and Kangshen DS-04-R-T are likely pin-compatible due to the standard DIP switch footprint, but this requires verification against the datasheets as pin-for-pin compatibility is not guaranteed.

What risks should I check before replacing TE-04?

Key risks include minor differences in body dimensions, actuator style, and material specifications. For cross-vendor parts like Kangshen DS-04-R-T, also check for any variance in operating temperature range or mechanical life.

AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

Key electrical ratings match across top candidates.

Package risklow

Package, pitch, and pin count match. Pinout is likely standard but needs verification.

Sourcing risklow

Multiple functional alternatives are available from different manufacturers.

Can it be replaced directly?

No drop-in replacement is verified without a datasheet review. However, Yuandi TM-04 is a highly probable direct replacement.

Best replacement path

The best replacement path is to use Yuandi TM-04, which appears to be a variant from the same manufacturer with identical specifications. For sourcing flexibility, Kangshen DS-04-R-T is a strong cross-vendor option.

Main risk

The main risk is subtle mechanical differences that could affect automated assembly or enclosure fit. Electrical parameters appear to be well-matched.

Recommended alternatives
