Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the M2012LL1W03-C 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 (6.50mm circular)
• Bushing thread specification (1/4-40)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (25,000 cycles minimum)

The MN12LL1W03-C meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent for applications requiring the M2012LL1W03-C.

Parameter Comparison
