MSS2200 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSS2200 is a slide switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, configured as a Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) switch with a 300mA AC current rating at 125V. This component features through-hole mounting with PC pin termination and is designed for applications requiring reliable switching with epoxy sealed terminals.

The MSS2200 carries an Obsolete product status. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to support ongoing maintenance, repair, and production requirements for systems utilizing this component. Active production alternatives with identical electrical and mechanical specifications are available.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MSS2200 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following categories:

Electrical Parameters: Circuit configuration (DPDT), contact timing (Shorting MBB), switch function (On-On), current rating (300mA AC), and voltage rating (125V AC).

Mechanical Parameters: Actuator type (Standard), actuator length (2.30mm), contact material (Copper Alloy), contact finish (Silver), mounting type (Through Hole), termination style (PC Pin), switch travel (2.00mm), operating force (600gf), and operating temperature range (-20°C to 85°C).

Performance Parameters: Mechanical life (15,000 cycles) and electrical life (15,000 cycles).

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct equivalents and may be substituted without modification to circuit design or mechanical assembly.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The part 1825261-1 is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the MSS2200. All functional parameters, including circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, actuator specifications, contact materials, mounting type, and lifecycle ratings, are identical.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The MSS2200 is classified as Obsolete, while 1825261-1 maintains Active product status with current manufacturing support. Additionally, 1825261-1 is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the MSS2200 is RoHS non-compliant.

For new designs and ongoing production requiring compliance with current regulatory standards, 1825261-1 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where RoHS compliance is not a requirement, either part may be used interchangeably based on availability and procurement constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1825261-1 be used as a direct replacement for MSS2200 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 1825261-1 is electrically and mechanically identical to the MSS2200 across all specified parameters. No circuit modifications or mechanical redesign is required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between MSS2200 and 1825261-1?

A: The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. The differences are: (1) MSS2200 is Obsolete; 1825261-1 is Active; (2) MSS2200 is RoHS non-compliant; 1825261-1 is ROHS3 compliant; (3) MSS2200 is packaged individually; 1825261-1 is packaged in Bulk.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with PCB footprints or assembly processes?

A: No. Both parts share identical mounting type (Through Hole), termination style (PC Pin), actuator length (2.30mm), and all mechanical dimensions. PCB footprints and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: Why should I select 1825261-1 over MSS2200?

A: The MSS2200 is Obsolete with no active manufacturing support. The 1825261-1 is an Active product with current availability and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term supply chain reliability and regulatory alignment.

Q: Are the electrical performance characteristics identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 300mA AC at 125V, feature DPDT configuration with Shorting (MBB) contact timing, and deliver identical mechanical life (15,000 cycles) and electrical life (15,000 cycles).
