Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MSS2250G is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the MSS series slide switch family. The substitute part 1825263-2 maintains identical specifications across all critical functional parameters: DPDT circuit configuration, 0.4VA current rating at 20V AC/DC, 11.00mm actuator length, 2.00mm switch travel, 15,000-cycle mechanical and electrical life ratings, and 600gf operating force. Both components utilize copper alloy contacts with gold finish, employ PC pin termination, and operate across the identical temperature range of -20°C to 85°C.

The substitution is valid based on the following key parameters:

  • Circuit topology (DPDT with On-On function)
  • Electrical ratings (0.4VA, 20V AC/DC)
  • Physical dimensions (11.00mm actuator, 2.00mm travel)
  • Contact system (gold-plated copper alloy)
  • Mounting interface (through-hole PC pin)
  • Environmental operating range (-20°C to 85°C)
  • Mechanical durability (15,000 cycles)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MSS2250G and substitute part 1825263-2 are functionally equivalent components within the TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches MSS series. Both parts are classified as obsolete products and share identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. Selection between these components should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability.

The MSS2250G is supplied in standard packaging, while 1825263-2 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both components are RoHS non-compliant and carry identical export classification (EAR99) and tariff codes (HTSUS 8536.50.9050). The REACH status differs between the two parts: MSS2250G is listed as REACH Unaffected, while 1825263-2 is listed as Vendor Undefined. This distinction may require clarification from the supplier for applications subject to REACH compliance verification.

For applications requiring REACH compliance documentation, the MSS2250G designation provides explicit compliance status. For applications where bulk packaging is preferred, the 1825263-2 alternative is suitable provided REACH status is clarified with the supplier.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are MSS2250G and 1825263-2 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components are rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC with identical DPDT circuit configuration, contact timing (Shorting MBB), and On-On switch function. Electrical performance is equivalent across all specified parameters.

Q: Do these components have identical physical dimensions?

A: Yes. Both parts feature an 11.00mm actuator length, 2.00mm switch travel, and standard actuator type. Through-hole mounting with PC pin termination is identical on both components.

Q: What is the difference between MSS2250G and 1825263-2?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (standard versus bulk) and REACH compliance status documentation. MSS2250G is listed as REACH Unaffected, while 1825263-2 is listed as Vendor Undefined. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use 1825263-2 as a direct replacement for MSS2250G in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided packaging requirements are compatible with bulk format and REACH compliance status is acceptable for the application. All functional parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: No. Both MSS2250G and 1825263-2 are RoHS non-compliant. Applications requiring RoHS compliance require alternative component selection outside this product family.

Q: What is the mechanical life expectancy of these switches?

A: Both components are rated for 15,000 mechanical cycles and 15,000 electrical cycles under specified operating conditions.

Q: What temperature range do these components support?

A: Both MSS2250G and 1825263-2 operate across the identical range of -20°C to 85°C.

Q: What is the operating force required to actuate these switches?

A: Both components require 600gf (gram-force) operating force for switch actuation.
