MS22BSW30 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MS22BSW30 is a miniature slide switch manufactured by NKK Switches, configured as a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) through-hole component with right-angle orientation. This switch is designed for applications requiring compact switching functionality with solder and PC board mounting capabilities. The part remains in active production status with 863 units currently in stock as new original inventory.

Alternative models become necessary when addressing supply chain constraints, lead time requirements, or when design specifications permit functional equivalents within the same electrical and mechanical parameter range.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MS22BSW30 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Switch configuration: DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw)
• Mounting method: Through-hole, right-angle orientation
• Manufacturer series compatibility: NKK Switches MS series
• Electrical function: Slide switch operation
• Physical form factor: Miniature package suitable for PC board integration

The MSN22BSW30 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching these core parameters within the NKK Switches product family.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MS22BSW30 and MSN22BSW30 maintain active product status from NKK Switches. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Packaging requirements: MS22BSW30 is supplied in solder and PC packaging, while MSN22BSW30 is supplied in bulk packaging
• Inventory availability: MSN22BSW30 currently has higher stock levels (1031 units versus 863 units)
• Supply chain lead times and procurement timelines
• Compliance requirements: Both parts carry ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.50.9050 classifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MSN22BSW30 directly replace MS22BSW30 in existing designs?

A: Both parts are NKK Switches slide switches within the MS series. Compatibility depends on your specific electrical requirements and mounting constraints. Verify that the MSN22BSW30 meets your application's switch configuration and through-hole mounting specifications.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging types listed?

A: MS22BSW30 is supplied in solder and PC packaging format, while MSN22BSW30 is supplied in bulk packaging. This affects handling, storage, and integration into assembly processes but does not alter the electrical or mechanical function of the switch component.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9050) classifications, indicating equivalent regulatory treatment for export and tariff purposes.

Q: How should I verify compatibility for my specific application?

A: Confirm that the substitute part matches your design requirements for switch configuration (DPDT), mounting orientation (through-hole, right-angle), and physical dimensions. Consult the detailed datasheets for both parts to ensure electrical ratings and mechanical tolerances align with your circuit design.
