MHS222 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MHS222 is a slide switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration, rated for 200mA at 12V DC, designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This component features non-shorting contact timing (BBM), a 2.00mm actuator length, and silver-plated contacts. The MHS222 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 eligibility for the MHS222 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Must be DPDT
• Current Rating: Must support 200mA (DC) minimum
• Voltage Rating: Must support 12V DC minimum
• Contact Timing: Must be Non-Shorting (BBM)
• Switch Function: Must be On-On
• Actuator Length: Must be 2.00mm
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination Style: Must be PC Pin
• Contact Finish: Must be Silver

The CL-SB-22C-11 meets all mandatory substitution criteria. While this substitute part demonstrates enhanced electrical life (10,000 cycles versus 5,000 cycles) and an extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C versus -10°C ~ 70°C), these represent improvements that do not compromise compatibility with applications designed for the MHS222.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CL-SB-22C-11 is the direct substitute for the obsolete MHS222. Both components are manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The CL-SB-22C-11 carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, satisfying regulatory requirements for new designs and legacy system support. The CL-SB-22C-11 offers extended operating temperature range and increased electrical life cycle rating, providing enhanced performance margins without requiring design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CL-SB-22C-11 be used as a direct replacement for the MHS222 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The CL-SB-22C-11 maintains identical electrical ratings (200mA, 12V DC), circuit configuration (DPDT), contact timing (Non-Shorting BBM), actuator dimensions (2.00mm), and mounting specifications (Through Hole, Right Angle, PC Pin termination). No design modification is required.

Q: What are the differences between the MHS222 and CL-SB-22C-11?

A: The primary differences are product status and performance enhancements. The MHS222 is obsolete; the CL-SB-22C-11 is active. The CL-SB-22C-11 provides extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C versus -10°C ~ 70°C) and doubled electrical life (10,000 cycles versus 5,000 cycles). These represent improvements that do not affect compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the MHS222 and CL-SB-22C-11 are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What packaging is available for the CL-SB-22C-11?

A: The CL-SB-22C-11 is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Why is the MHS222 listed as obsolete?

A: The MHS222 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The CL-SB-22C-11 represents the active equivalent product line and is the recommended solution for new procurement and design support.
