Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IXR5S12M is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (DPST-NO/NC)
• Switch function (On-Mom, Off-Mom)
• Current and voltage ratings (2A DC, 28V DC)
• Actuator type and color (Round, Button, Mushroom; Black)
• Mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Front)
• Termination style (Solder Lug)
• Ingress protection rating (IP67/IP69K)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 11.90mm Dia)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)
• Mechanical and electrical life specifications

The IXP5S12M meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the APEM IX series, with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status: IXR5S12M is obsolete while IXP5S12M is active, making IXP5S12M the recommended source for new procurement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The IXP5S12M is a direct functional equivalent to the IXR5S12M with identical electrical performance, mechanical specifications, and environmental ratings. Selection of IXP5S12M is supported by its active product status, ensuring availability for procurement and ongoing supply chain continuity. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The transition from IXR5S12M to IXP5S12M requires no circuit redesign or mechanical modification, as all critical parameters remain unchanged.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can IXP5S12M be used as a direct replacement for IXR5S12M in existing designs?

A: Yes. IXP5S12M is electrically and mechanically identical to IXR5S12M across all specified parameters, including circuit configuration, current/voltage ratings, actuator type, mounting configuration, and ingress protection rating. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: IXR5S12M is obsolete. IXP5S12M is the active equivalent from APEM Inc., ensuring component availability and supply chain reliability for new procurement and system maintenance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between IXR5S12M and IXP5S12M?

A: IXR5S12M is supplied with standard packaging, while IXP5S12M is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction does not affect component performance or compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both IXR5S12M and IXP5S12M are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: Are the panel cutout dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both components require a circular panel cutout of 11.90mm diameter, ensuring mechanical interchangeability in existing panel designs.
