Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IXR5S13M is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: DPST-NO/NC
• Switch function: On-Mom, Off-Mom
• Current rating: 2A (DC)
• Voltage rating: 28V (DC)
• Actuator type: Round, Button, Mushroom
• Actuator color: Green
• Mounting type: Panel Mount, Front
• Panel cutout diameter: 11.90mm (Circular)
• Ingress protection rating: IP67/IP69K
• Termination style: Solder Lug
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C
• Mechanical life: 1,000,000 Cycles
• Electrical life: 100,000 Cycles

The IXP5S13M meets all specified parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is product status: IXP5S13M is active and available, whereas IXR5S13M is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The IXP5S13M is the direct substitute for the obsolete IXR5S13M. Both components are manufactured by APEM Inc. within the IX series and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. The IXP5S13M is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, making it the appropriate selection for replacement applications.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for new designs and legacy system support. The transition from IXR5S13M to IXP5S13M requires no circuit redesign or mechanical modification, as all functional parameters remain equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can IXP5S13M be used as a direct replacement for IXR5S13M?

A: Yes. The IXP5S13M is electrically and mechanically equivalent to IXR5S13M. All circuit parameters, mounting dimensions, ingress protection ratings, and environmental specifications are identical. The primary difference is product status: IXP5S13M is active and available, while IXR5S13M is obsolete.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns when substituting IXP5S13M for IXR5S13M?

A: No. Both components feature identical panel mount configurations with 11.90mm circular cutout dimensions, solder lug termination, and round mushroom actuator geometry. No panel modifications or connector changes are required.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: IXR5S13M packaging is listed as standard, while IXP5S13M is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction affects procurement and handling procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both IXR5S13M and IXP5S13M are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance regulations.

Q: What is the operational difference between these pushbutton switches?

A: There is no operational difference. Both components are DPST-NO/NC switches with On-Mom, Off-Mom functionality, rated for 2A DC at 28V, with identical mechanical life (1,000,000 cycles) and electrical life (100,000 cycles) specifications.
