Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M2012LL1W03-A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Current and voltage ratings (6A/125V AC minimum, 4A/30V DC minimum)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount)
• Actuator type and length (Locking Lever, 16.50mm)
• 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 minimum)

The MN12LL1W03-A meets all specified parameters and is classified as an approved manufacturer substitute.

Parameter Comparison
