Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MS23ASG30 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Circuit configuration (DPDT)
  • Contact timing specification (Non-Shorting/BBM)
  • Switch function (On-Off-On)
  • Electrical ratings (0.4VA at 28V AC/DC)
  • Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
  • Termination style (PC Pin)
  • Contact material and finish (Copper with Gold plating)
  • Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
  • Mechanical and electrical life specifications (100,000 and 50,000 cycles respectively)
  • Compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)

The MSN23ASG30, manufactured by NKK Switches, meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent.
