Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MSS2200G with part number 1825261-2 is based on complete electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both components share identical specifications across all critical functional parameters: DPDT circuit configuration, 0.4VA current rating at 20V (AC/DC), Make Before Break contact timing, standard actuator with 2.30mm length, copper alloy contacts with gold finish, through-hole mounting with PC pin termination, 2.00mm switch travel, 600gf operating force, and -20°C to 85°C operating temperature range. Both components feature epoxy sealed terminals and identical mechanical and electrical life ratings of 15,000 cycles. The substitution is valid based on these matching parameters: circuit topology, electrical ratings, contact characteristics, mechanical dimensions, mounting configuration, and environmental specifications.
