MSP103C0 Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The MSP103C0 is a pushbutton switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, configured as a SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) device with an Off-Mom (momentary) switch function. This component is rated for 3A AC at 125V and features a panel mount rear configuration with a circular 6.35mm diameter cutout. The MSP103C0 is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and component procurement.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
The MSP103C004 qualifies as a direct substitute for the MSP103C0 based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:
- Circuit configuration remains SPST-NO
- Current rating matches at 3A (AC)
- Voltage rating matches at 125V AC
- Switch function remains Off-Mom
- Mounting type remains Panel Mount, Rear
- Actuator type remains Plunger for Cap
- Termination style remains Solder Lug
- Panel cutout dimensions remain Circular - 6.35mm Dia
- Operating temperature range remains -20°C ~ 80°C
- Electrical life remains 5,000 Cycles
The MSP103C004 maintains all functional and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete MSP103C0, differing only in product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and regulatory compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
The MSP103C004 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete MSP103C0. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches within the MSP3 series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.
The MSP103C004 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. Additionally, the MSP103C004 achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the MSP103C0 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to regulatory requirements mandating RoHS compliance, the MSP103C004 fulfills these obligations while maintaining full functional equivalence.
The MSP103C004 is supplied in Bulk packaging, compared to the MSP103C0 which carries no specified packaging designation. Both components are classified under the same HTSUS code (8536.50.9031) and ECCN (EAR99).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the MSP103C004 be used as a direct replacement for the MSP103C0?
A: Yes. The MSP103C004 maintains identical electrical ratings (3A AC at 125V), circuit configuration (SPST-NO), switch function (Off-Mom), mounting type (Panel Mount, Rear), actuator type (Plunger for Cap), termination style (Solder Lug), panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 6.35mm Dia), operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 80°C), and electrical life (5,000 Cycles). Full functional and mechanical compatibility is established.
Q: What is the primary advantage of selecting the MSP103C004 over the MSP103C0?
A: The MSP103C004 carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The MSP103C0 is classified as Obsolete. Additionally, the MSP103C004 achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the MSP103C0 is RoHS non-compliant.
Q: Are there any differences in electrical performance between these two parts?
A: No. Both components share identical electrical specifications: 3A AC current rating, 125V AC voltage rating, SPST-NO circuit configuration, Off-Mom switch function, and 5,000 cycle electrical life.
Q: Do the panel cutout dimensions remain the same?
A: Yes. Both the MSP103C0 and MSP103C004 require a circular panel cutout of 6.35mm diameter, ensuring mechanical compatibility with existing panel designs.
