MSS-26CL-W Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSS-26CL-W is a magnetic ball switch module manufactured by Magnasphere Corp, designed for door contact applications. This component features a 1" diameter by 7/8" length form factor with SPST-NC (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Closed) output configuration and wire lead termination. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute components necessary for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MSS-26CL-W is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Output Type: SPST-NC configuration required
• Voltage Rating: 30V supply voltage compatibility
• Actuator Type: Magnet-actuated operation

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Termination Style: Wire Leads required
• Package Type: Module form factor
• Physical dimensions: Compatible with 1" door contact recess applications

Regulatory & Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Compliance status
• ECCN and HTSUS classification alignment

The MSS-301C-WHITE qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical, mechanical, and regulatory parameters, despite differing in internal switch technology (reed switch versus ball switch) and product status classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolescence Replacement: The MSS-301C-WHITE is the designated substitute for the obsolete MSS-26CL-W. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications (SPST-NC output, 30V supply voltage), mechanical interface (wire lead termination, module packaging), and regulatory compliance (RoHS compliant, EAR99 ECCN classification).

Product Status Consideration: The MSS-301C-WHITE carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. The MSS-26CL-W is classified as Obsolete, necessitating transition to the substitute component for new procurements and long-term system sustainability.

Compliance Verification: Both components satisfy identical RoHS compliance requirements and share the same HTSUS tariff classification (8536.50.9065), confirming regulatory equivalence for import/export and environmental compliance purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MSS-301C-WHITE directly replace the MSS-26CL-W in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical output configuration (SPST-NC), supply voltage rating (30V), wire lead termination, and module packaging. The internal switch mechanism differs (reed switch versus ball switch), but this does not affect functional compatibility in door contact applications where magnet actuation is employed.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The MSS-26CL-W is classified as Obsolete. The MSS-301C-WHITE is the manufacturer-designated equivalent with Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The MSS-26CL-W is specified with no packaging designation, while the MSS-301C-WHITE is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both maintain Module form factor compatibility for door contact recess applications.

Q: Do both components meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both components are RoHS Compliant, classified under ECCN EAR99, and share the identical HTSUS tariff code (8536.50.9065).

Q: Is inventory availability a consideration?

A: The MSS-301C-WHITE has 1053 pieces in stock with Active product status. The MSS-26CL-W, though 657 pieces remain in inventory, is Obsolete and should not be specified for new designs or long-term applications.
