MHS132 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MHS132 is a slide switch with SP3T (Single Pole, Three Throw) configuration manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation. This through-hole, right-angle mounted switch is rated for 200mA DC at 12V with non-shorting contact timing and on-on-on switching function. The MHS132 is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MHS132 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment within the SP3T slide switch category. The substitute part CL-SB-13C-11 maintains compatibility through the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Both parts are SP3T switches
• Current Rating: Both rated for 200mA DC
• Voltage Rating: Both rated for 12V DC
• Contact Timing: Both employ non-shorting (BBM) contact timing
• Switch Function: Both provide on-on-on switching
• Mounting and Termination: Both are through-hole, right-angle mounted with PC pin termination
• Physical Dimensions: Both feature 2.00mm actuator length and 2.00mm switch travel
• Contact Finish: Both use silver contact finish
• Environmental Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CL-SB-13C-11 is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete MHS132. Both parts are manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation and share identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factors. The CL-SB-13C-11 is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The CL-SB-13C-11 offers enhanced performance characteristics compared to the MHS132: extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -10°C to 70°C) and doubled electrical life rating (10,000 cycles versus 5,000 cycles). Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, meeting environmental and moisture sensitivity requirements.

For applications currently using the MHS132, the CL-SB-13C-11 provides direct substitution without circuit redesign or PCB layout modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CL-SB-13C-11 directly replace the MHS132 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (200mA, 12V DC), circuit configuration (SP3T), contact timing (non-shorting BBM), and mechanical form factor (through-hole, right-angle, PC pin termination). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and performance ratings. The MHS132 is obsolete; the CL-SB-13C-11 is active production. The CL-SB-13C-11 provides wider operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -10°C to 70°C) and higher electrical life (10,000 cycles versus 5,000 cycles).

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The MHS132 packaging is listed as standard; the CL-SB-13C-11 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both use identical PC pin termination for through-hole mounting.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. Both the MHS132 and CL-SB-13C-11 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level).

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: The CL-SB-13C-11 should be specified for new designs due to active production status and enhanced performance characteristics. The MHS132 is obsolete and should not be used in new applications.
