Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the M2012ES1A25 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Current and voltage ratings (6A AC / 125V AC; 4A DC / 30V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount)
• Actuator type and length (Flatted, 11.40mm)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 6.50mm Dia)
• Bushing thread specification (1/4-40)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life rating (25,000 Cycles)

The M2012ES1A13 meets all these parameters and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the M2012ES1A13 be used as a direct replacement for the M2012ES1A25?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (6A AC / 125V AC; 4A DC / 30V DC), mechanical configuration (panel mount, flatted actuator, 11.40mm length), and termination style (PC Pin). Panel cutout dimensions and bushing thread specifications are identical, enabling direct substitution without mechanical or electrical redesign.

Q: What is the difference between the M2012ES1A25 and M2012ES1A13?

A: The primary difference is product status. The M2012ES1A25 is obsolete, while the M2012ES1A13 is active. All electrical, mechanical, and functional parameters are equivalent. The M2012ES1A13 offers improved supply chain availability.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The M2012ES1A25 is ROHS3 compliant, and the M2012ES1A13 is RoHS compliant. Both meet REACH requirements and carry EAR99 ECCN classification.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution in this product category?

A: For SPDT toggle switches, critical substitution parameters include circuit configuration, switch function, current and voltage ratings, mounting type, actuator geometry, termination style, panel cutout dimensions, and operating temperature range. Deviation in any of these parameters requires engineering evaluation.

Q: Is the M2012ES1A13 available in stock?

A: Availability is subject to current inventory levels. The M2012ES1A13 is an active product with established supply channels through NKK Switches and authorized distributors.
