E2013P Toggle Switch SPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The E2013P is a toggle switch manufactured by NKK Switches, classified as SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) with On-Off-On functionality. This panel-mount switch is rated for 3A at 125V AC and features a standard round actuator with PC pin termination. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance, repair, and redesign applications where continued availability is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the E2013P is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT
• Switch function: On-Off-On
• Mounting type: Panel Mount
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Actuator type: Standard Round
• Voltage rating: 125V AC minimum

Allowable Variance Parameters:

• Current rating: Substitute must equal or exceed 3A AC
• Actuator length: Tolerance of ±0.01mm acceptable
• Panel cutout diameter: Tolerance of ±0.10mm acceptable
• Bushing thread: Mechanical compatibility required
• Operating temperature: Substitute range must encompass or exceed -10°C to 70°C
• Electrical life: Substitute must equal or exceed 20,000 cycles

The MTA106EPC from TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches meets all mandatory parameters and exceeds performance specifications in current rating (6A AC), electrical life (60,000 cycles), and operating temperature range (-20°C to 80°C).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MTA106EPC is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete E2013P. Both components share identical circuit topology, voltage rating, and mounting configuration. The MTA106EPC is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The substitute component provides enhanced performance margins: current capacity is doubled (6A versus 3A), electrical life is tripled (60,000 versus 20,000 cycles), and operating temperature range is expanded (-20°C to 80°C versus -10°C to 70°C). These improvements do not introduce incompatibility; they represent superior performance within the same functional class.

Both components maintain identical RoHS non-compliance status. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through panel cutout and bushing thread specifications, with dimensional tolerances within acceptable engineering variance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MTA106EPC directly replace the E2013P in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components are SPDT toggle switches with On-Off-On functionality, 125V AC rating, panel mount configuration, and PC pin termination. Mechanical fit is compatible within standard tolerances. The substitute provides equal or superior performance across all electrical parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference (3A versus 6A)?

A: The E2013P is rated for 3A AC; the MTA106EPC is rated for 6A AC. In substitution, a higher current rating does not create incompatibility. The substitute can safely handle applications designed for 3A without derating. Applications requiring current capacity above 3A benefit from the increased rating.

Q: Are there mechanical fit concerns with the panel cutout diameter difference?

A: The panel cutout diameter differs by 0.10mm (E2013P: 6.50mm; MTA106EPC: 6.40mm). This variance is within standard mechanical tolerance for panel-mount switches and does not prevent installation. The slightly smaller diameter of the substitute may require minimal panel adjustment in tight tolerance applications.

Q: What is the bushing thread difference, and does it affect compatibility?

A: The E2013P uses M6 x 0.75 bushing thread; the MTA106EPC uses 1/4-40 bushing thread. Both are standard panel-mount fastening systems. Thread compatibility depends on the panel hardware. Verify that panel mounting hardware accommodates the substitute thread specification before installation.

Q: Why is the E2013P obsolete, and what does this mean for future availability?

A: The E2013P is classified as obsolete by NKK Switches, indicating it is no longer in active production. The MTA106EPC is in active production status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support for future requirements.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between the two components?

A: Both components are RoHS non-compliant and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. No compliance advantage exists between the two parts. Applications with RoHS compliance requirements must source alternative components from compliant product lines.
