Is there a pin-compatible replacement for TS-1002S-04526C?

While several switches share the common 4-pin 6x6mm footprint, a direct pin-to-pin replacement also requires matching the 4.5mm actuator height. TC-6601-5.0-260-8.3 is close but taller, requiring review.

What risks should I check before replacing TS-1002S-04526C?

The main risk is mechanical. Verify the actuator height of any replacement fits your enclosure and button design. Also confirm the operating force and travel distance meet your application's user experience requirements.

AI replacement insight

Package riskmedium

Actuator height differs by 0.5mm, requiring mechanical fit check.

Electrical risklow

Key electrical ratings are identical.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct drop-in replacement was found in this batch. The closest candidate has a different actuator height, which requires mechanical verification.

Best replacement path

Use a form-fit-function alternative like TC-6601-5.0-260-8.3, but verify the mechanical impact of its taller actuator.

Main risk

Mechanical incompatibility due to differences in actuator height.

Recommended alternatives

A functional match with the same SMT footprint and electrical ratings, but with a slightly taller 5.0mm actuator.
