MS13ASG30 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The MS13ASG30 is a slide switch manufactured by NKK Switches, configured as a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch with On-Off-On functionality. This component is rated for 0.4VA at 28V AC/DC and features a through-hole, right-angle mounting configuration with gold-plated copper contacts. The product is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for design continuity and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MS13ASG30 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Must be SPDT to maintain electrical functionality
• Switch Function: Must support On-Off-On operation
• Mounting Type: Must be through-hole, right-angle configuration
• Voltage Rating: Substitute must meet or exceed 28V AC/DC rating
• Current Rating: Substitute must support minimum 0.4VA (AC/DC)
• Contact Termination: Must use PC pin termination style
• Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

MSN13ASG30 (NKK Switches) - Manufacturer-recommended substitute with identical electrical specifications and active product status.

1103M2S3ABE2 (C&K) - Similar SPDT slide switch with equivalent electrical performance at the specified voltage and current ratings.

1103M2S3AQE2 (C&K) - Higher-capacity SPDT slide switch with enhanced current rating and voltage specifications, suitable for applications requiring greater electrical headroom.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: MSN13ASG30

MSN13ASG30 is the manufacturer-recommended equivalent from NKK Switches. This part maintains active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection of this substitute eliminates supply chain risk associated with obsolete components while preserving design compatibility.

Secondary Substitute: 1103M2S3ABE2

1103M2S3ABE2 from C&K provides functional equivalence with identical SPDT configuration and On-Off-On switching function. This part meets the 0.4VA current requirement and operates within the 20V DC specification. The lower AC voltage rating (20V versus 28V) requires circuit-level verification for AC applications. Active product status and ROHS3 compliance support long-term availability.

Higher-Capacity Alternative: 1103M2S3AQE2

1103M2S3AQE2 offers enhanced electrical specifications with 6A current capacity and 120V AC rating. This part exceeds the original MS13ASG30 requirements and is suitable for applications requiring greater electrical margin. Silver contact finish differs from the gold finish of the original part. Active product status and ROHS3 compliance are maintained.

All substitute parts carry EAR99 export classification and REACH unaffected status, matching the regulatory profile of the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MSN13ASG30 be used as a direct replacement for MS13ASG30?

A: MSN13ASG30 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both parts are manufactured by NKK Switches and share the same series designation. Electrical specifications and mounting configuration are compatible. The primary difference is product status: MS13ASG30 is obsolete while MSN13ASG30 is active.

Q: What are the voltage limitations when substituting with 1103M2S3ABE2?

A: 1103M2S3ABE2 is rated for 20V AC and 20V DC. The original MS13ASG30 is rated for 28V AC/DC. For DC applications at 28V, this substitute is not suitable. For AC applications below 20V, this part is acceptable. Circuit voltage requirements must be verified before selection.

Q: Is 1103M2S3AQE2 compatible with the original circuit design?

A: 1103M2S3AQE2 maintains SPDT configuration, On-Off-On function, and through-hole right-angle mounting. Current and voltage ratings exceed original specifications. The contact finish is silver rather than gold. Mechanical dimensions differ slightly (actuator length 4.72mm versus 5.10mm). Physical fit and electrical performance are compatible; however, contact material differences may affect specific applications requiring gold-plated contacts.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: All listed substitutes—MSN13ASG30, 1103M2S3ABE2, and 1103M2S3AQE2—are ROHS3 compliant. Moisture sensitivity level is rated 1 (Unlimited) for all parts, indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: MS13ASG30 is supplied in tray packaging. MSN13ASG30 is available in bulk packaging. 1103M2S3ABE2 is supplied in bulk packaging. 1103M2S3AQE2 is available in tray packaging. Packaging selection should align with procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing PCB designs?

A: All substitute parts use PC pin termination and through-hole, right-angle mounting. Physical footprints are compatible with the original MS13ASG30 PCB layout. Electrical interchangeability depends on circuit voltage and current requirements. Verification of specific application parameters is necessary before implementation.
