Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the M2012SD3G01 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: SPDT topology must be maintained
• Switch Function: On-On operation requirement
• Electrical Ratings: 0.4VA current capacity and 28V voltage rating (AC/DC)
• Mounting Interface: Panel mount with 1/4-40 bushing thread and 6.50mm circular cutout
• Actuator Specifications: Standard round actuator with 10.50mm length
• Termination: Solder lug connection style
• Environmental Sealing: IP67 ingress protection rating
• Temperature Range: -30°C to 85°C operational capability
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance requirement

The substitute part MN12SD3G01 meets these criteria and is classified as an active product, providing continuity for applications currently utilizing the obsolete M2012SD3G01.
