Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MRA206-BA is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Performance: Current rating (250mA AC), voltage rating (125VAC), and circuit configuration (DP6T)
• Mechanical Compatibility: Panel mount through-hole termination, 6.35mm circular cutout, knob actuator type, and 30° angle of throw
• Position Range: Adjustable 2-6 position capability with non-shorting contact timing
• Contact Specifications: Copper material with silver finish
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and equivalent environmental classifications

The MRAN206-BA is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on functional equivalence within these parameters.
