Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MS20AFG01 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Switch configuration: Single-pole triple-throw (SP3T) electrical function
• Mounting interface: Panel mount mechanical compatibility
• Termination method: Solder and PC board connection capability
• Manufacturer source: NKK Switches product line

The MSN24AFG01 qualifies as an equivalent substitute based on shared SP3T switching functionality and NKK Switches manufacturing origin. Both parts operate within the same electrical switching category and are compatible with equivalent mechanical mounting requirements.
