Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MSS-20CL-RS1P1-W is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Output Type: SPST-NC
• Actuator Material: Magnet
• Termination Style: Wire Leads
• Voltage - Supply: 30V
• Category: Magnetic Sensors
• Type: Ball Switch
• Package / Case: Module

The MSS-201C-001-WHITE qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical electrical characteristics (SPST-NC output, 30V supply), identical mechanical configuration (magnetic ball switch with wire leads), and identical package classification (Module). Both components are manufactured by Magnasphere Corp and serve the same functional role in door contact applications. The substitute part is currently in active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support.
