Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M2012SS2G13 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Current and voltage ratings (0.4VA at 28V AC/DC)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Actuator specifications (Standard Round, 10.50mm length)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Circular 6.50mm Dia)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C)
• Electrical life rating (50,000 Cycles)

The MN12SS2G13, manufactured by NKK Switches, meets these substitution criteria as an active product with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MN12SS2G13 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete M2012SS2G13. Both components are manufactured by NKK Switches and maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and environmental ratings. The primary distinction is product status: M2012SS2G13 is obsolete while MN12SS2G13 is active and currently available in production quantities.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and equivalent certifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.50.9065), ensuring regulatory alignment for new designs and legacy system support. The transition from M2012SS2G13 to MN12SS2G13 requires no circuit redesign or mechanical modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MN12SS2G13 be used as a direct replacement for M2012SS2G13?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (0.4VA at 28V AC/DC), circuit configuration (SPDT On-On), mechanical dimensions, and operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C). No circuit or mechanical modifications are required.

Q: Why is M2012SS2G13 classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The MN12SS2G13 represents the active equivalent in NKK Switches' current product portfolio.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both components are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging specifications should be confirmed with the supplier for specific order requirements.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: SPDT circuit configuration, On-On switch function, 0.4VA current rating at 28V (AC/DC), through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, and -30°C ~ 85°C operating temperature range.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both M2012SS2G13 and MN12SS2G13 are ROHS3 compliant with identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.
