Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M2012SA1G15 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-On), current rating (0.4VA AC/DC), voltage rating (28V AC/DC), mounting type (panel mount), panel cutout dimensions (6.50mm circular), bushing thread specification (1/4-40), termination style (PC Pin), and operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C).

The M2012SA1G13 qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on identical electrical ratings, mechanical mounting specifications, and termination compatibility. The primary distinction between these components is the actuator length specification.
