Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M2012SS2G45 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Electrical ratings (0.4VA at 28V AC/DC)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle, Vertical)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 6.50mm Dia)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Actuator specifications (Standard Round, 10.50mm length)

The substitute part MN12SS2G45 meets all these criteria, providing functional and mechanical equivalence for direct replacement applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MN12SS2G45 is the designated substitute for the obsolete M2012SS2G45. Both components are manufactured by NKK Switches and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status: M2012SS2G45 is obsolete while MN12SS2G45 is active, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and fall under HTSUS code 8536.50.9065. The M2012SS2G45 is confirmed ROHS3 compliant; compliance status for MN12SS2G45 is not specified in available documentation.

For new designs or system replacements, MN12SS2G45 is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and equivalent performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MN12SS2G45 directly replace M2012SS2G45 in existing applications?
