MSS4200G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSS4200G is a slide switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, configured as a 4PDT (four-pole double-throw) through-hole component rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC. This switch features shorting contact timing (MBB), gold-plated copper alloy contacts, and an 8.00mm acetal actuator with 2.00mm travel distance. The MSS4200G is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent components to maintain design continuity and ensure ongoing component availability for production and repair applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MSS4200G is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part 1825264-2 maintains identical specifications in circuit configuration (4PDT), contact timing (shorting MBB), switch function (On-On), current and voltage ratings (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC), actuator dimensions (8.00mm length), contact material and finish (copper alloy with gold plating), mounting type (through hole), termination style (PC pin), operating temperature range (-20°C to 85°C), switch travel (2.00mm), mechanical and electrical life (15,000 cycles each), and operating force (600gf).

The primary distinction between these components is product status: MSS4200G is obsolete, while 1825264-2 is active. Both components belong to the TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches MSS series and share identical functional and physical characteristics, establishing direct substitutability based on the following key parameters:

• Circuit configuration and contact timing
• Electrical ratings (current and voltage)
• Physical dimensions and actuator specifications
• Contact material and finish
• Mounting and termination characteristics
• Environmental operating range
• Mechanical and electrical life ratings

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1825264-2 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete MSS4200G. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, ensuring functional compatibility in existing circuit designs. The 1825264-2 maintains active product status with TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The 1825264-2 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for restricted substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Both components share identical REACH unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Selection of 1825264-2 for new designs or replacement applications eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with designs originally specified for MSS4200G. No circuit modifications, PCB layout changes, or firmware adjustments are required for this substitution.
