Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the M2012LL3W01-A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Current and voltage ratings (6A/125V AC, 4A/30V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount)
• Actuator type and length (Locking Lever, 16.50mm)
• Termination style (Solder Lug)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 6.50mm Dia)
• Bushing thread specification (1/4-40)
• Ingress protection rating (IP67)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)

The MN12LL3W01-A qualifies as a direct substitute based on manufacturer specification alignment within these parameters.
