MSS6200 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSS6200 is a slide switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, configured as a 6PDT (six-pole double-throw) through-hole component rated for 300mA AC at 125V. This switch features shorting contact timing (MBB), standard actuator design, and epoxy-sealed terminals for PC pin termination.

The MSS6200 carries an obsolete product status. Locating equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to support ongoing maintenance, repair, and new design requirements where this component is specified or currently deployed in production systems.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MSS6200 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following critical areas:

Electrical Parameters: Circuit configuration (6PDT), contact timing (Shorting/MBB), switch function (On-On), current rating (300mA AC), and voltage rating (125V AC).

Mechanical Parameters: Actuator type (Standard), actuator length (6.00mm), 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).

Life Ratings: Both mechanical life and electrical life must be rated for 15,000 cycles minimum.

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes and may be used interchangeably in applications where the MSS6200 is specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The part 1825271-1 is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the MSS6200. All functional parameters, including circuit configuration, electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and life cycle specifications, are identical.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The MSS6200 is obsolete and carries RoHS non-compliant status. The 1825271-1 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and applications subject to RoHS regulations.

For applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement, both parts are functionally interchangeable. For applications where RoHS compliance is mandated, the 1825271-1 is the required selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1825271-1 be used as a direct replacement for the MSS6200?

A: Yes. The 1825271-1 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the MSS6200. All electrical ratings (300mA AC, 125V AC), circuit configuration (6PDT), mechanical dimensions (6.00mm actuator, 2.00mm travel), and life cycle specifications (15,000 cycles) are identical. The parts are interchangeable in applications where these specifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The MSS6200 is an obsolete product with RoHS non-compliant status. The 1825271-1 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance. All functional and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The 1825271-1 should be selected for new designs. It is an active product with current manufacturing support and RoHS3 compliance, making it suitable for modern applications and regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use identical through-hole PC pin termination, mounting type, and physical dimensions. No PCB layout modifications are required when substituting between these parts.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both the MSS6200 and 1825271-1 operate across the temperature range of -20°C to 85°C.

Q: Are both parts rated for the same electrical load?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 300mA AC at 125V AC with identical contact material (Copper Alloy) and silver finish.
