MS2C-T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MS2C-T is a 2-position mini shunt connector manufactured by Adam Tech, featuring a closed-top design with 2.0mm pitch and tin contact finish. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing system support and procurement planning. The MS2C-T maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility with active alternatives within the MS series that share identical physical and electrical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MS2C-T is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Closed-top shunt connector with 2-position (1 x 2) grid
• Physical Dimensions: 2.0mm pitch and 5.00mm height
• Electrical Ratings: 250VAC voltage and 1A current capacity
• Housing & Materials: PBT glass-filled construction with UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Contact Finish Compatibility: Tin or gold plating on identical base contact geometry

The MS2C-G qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical mechanical form factor, electrical specifications, and housing material. The only variation is the contact finish material (gold versus tin), which does not affect mechanical interchangeability or electrical performance within the specified ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MS2C-G is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete MS2C-T. Both components maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications, with the MS2C-G offering the advantage of active product status and improved long-term availability. The gold contact finish of the MS2C-G provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to the tin finish of the MS2C-T, while maintaining full compatibility with existing mating connectors and PCB layouts. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, ensuring regulatory alignment for new designs and legacy system support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MS2C-G be used as a direct replacement for MS2C-T in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The MS2C-G is mechanically and electrically identical to the MS2C-T. Both components share the same 2-position configuration, 2.0mm pitch, 5.00mm height, and electrical ratings. The gold contact finish of the MS2C-G is compatible with existing tin-plated mating connectors.

Q: What is the primary difference between MS2C-T and MS2C-G?

A: The contact finish material differs. MS2C-T uses tin plating, while MS2C-G uses gold flash plating. This difference does not affect mechanical interchangeability or electrical performance within the specified 250VAC, 1A ratings.

Q: Why is MS2C-T classified as obsolete?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The MS2C-G remains in active production and is the recommended part for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: MS2C-T is supplied in standard packaging, while MS2C-G is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are suitable for component selection and assembly integration.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both MS2C-T and MS2C-G are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. MSL rating is 1 (Unlimited) for both parts.
