Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MS23BFW01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (DPDT)
• Current and voltage ratings (6A AC, 125V AC)
• Contact timing specification (Non-Shorting/BBM)
• Switch function (On-Off-On)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount)
• Termination style (Solder Lug)
• Contact material composition (Silver Alloy)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C minimum)
• Mechanical and electrical life specifications
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH, ECCN classification)

The MSN23BFW01, manufactured by NKK Switches, meets all specified parameters and is identified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete MS23BFW01.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MSN23BFW01 is the direct substitute for the obsolete MS23BFW01. Both components are manufactured by NKK Switches and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The MSN23BFW01 carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical regulatory classifications (EAR99, HTSUS 8536.50.9050), confirming compatibility within existing compliance frameworks. The transition from MS23BFW01 to MSN23BFW01 presents no functional or regulatory barriers to implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MSN23BFW01 be used as a direct replacement for the MS23BFW01?

A: Yes. The MSN23BFW01 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and maintains identical electrical ratings (6A AC, 125V), circuit configuration (DPDT), contact timing (Non-Shorting/BBM), mounting type (Panel Mount), and termination style (Solder Lug). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The MS23BFW01 is classified as obsolete. The MSN23BFW01 is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support.

Q: Are there any differences in regulatory compliance between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9050) classifications, and meet the same regulatory requirements.

Q: Will the MSN23BFW01 function identically in existing applications?

A: Yes. Identical current rating (6A AC), voltage rating (125V AC), contact material (Silver Alloy), operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C), and mechanical/electrical life specifications ensure functional equivalence in all applications currently using the MS23BFW01.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Verify current inventory availability with your supplier, as stock levels may vary.
