TC-6615-5-260G is a common 6x6mm through-hole tactile switch with a 5mm actuator height and 260gf operating force. Finding a suitable replacement requires matching these key mechanical and functional parameters.

AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

Ratings match, but higher contact resistance on the best alternative needs verification.

Package riskhigh

Many similar parts have different actuator heights, which is a critical failure point for fit.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for TC-6615-5-260G should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

TS-1002S-05026C is the strongest candidate, matching key mechanical and electrical specs, with a minor downgrade in contact resistance.

Main risk

The main risks are mechanical mismatches in actuator height and functional differences in operating force with other alternatives.
