The XUNPU TS-1002S-05026C is a common 6x6mm through-hole tactile switch with a 5mm actuator height and a 260gf operating force. It is widely used in consumer electronics, appliances, and control panels for user input.

AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

Voltage/current ratings are standard for this type of switch.

Package riskmedium

Actuator height is a common variable and must be verified for fit.

Firmware risklow

These are simple mechanical switches with no firmware.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct drop-in replacement with identical key parameters has been identified. The closest options involve a trade-off between actuator height and operating force. Review is required.

Best replacement path

For mechanical fit, UK-B0228-G5-160-JZ is a strong candidate due to its matching 5mm height, but requires validating the lower 160gf operating force. For matching the 260gf force, consider other parts in the XUNPU TS-1002S series, but be prepared to accommodate a different actuator height.

Main risk

The primary risk is a mismatch in either actuator height, affecting mechanical assembly, or operating force, affecting the user experience and function.

Questions & answers

The best alternative depends on your priority. For the same physical size, UK-B0228-G5-160-JZ has a matching 5mm height but a lower operating force (160gf). If operating force is critical, parts from the same XUNPU TS-1002S series like TS-1002ST-26C offer the same 260gf force but have different actuator heights.
