Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the M2012SS2W13 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: SPDT topology must be maintained
• Switch Function: On-On operation required
• Current Rating: Minimum 6A at 125V AC; minimum 4A at 30V DC
• Voltage Rating: Minimum 125V AC; minimum 30V DC
• Mounting Type: Through-hole configuration
• Termination Style: PC Pin connection
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: Circular 6.50mm diameter
• Operating Temperature Range: -30°C to 85°C minimum
• Electrical Life: 25,000 cycles minimum
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part MN12SS2W13 from NKK Switches meets these criteria and is classified as an active product, providing continuity for applications requiring M2012SS2W13 functionality.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MN12SS2W13 is the designated substitute for the obsolete M2012SS2W13. Both components are manufactured by NKK Switches and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: M2012SS2W13 is obsolete while MN12SS2W13 is active, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and equivalent regulatory certifications (ECCN: EAR99; HTSUS: 8536.50.9065), supporting seamless integration into existing designs or new implementations requiring this switch topology.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MN12SS2W13 directly replace M2012SS2W13 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (6A at 125V AC, 4A at 30V DC), circuit configuration (SPDT), mounting type (through-hole), and termination style (PC Pin). Mechanical dimensions and operating temperature ranges are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The M2012SS2W13 is classified as obsolete. The MN12SS2W13 is an active product from the same manufacturer, providing equivalent functionality with assured supply availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The M2012SS2W13 is specified with packaging designation "-" while MN12SS2W13 is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both M2012SS2W13 and MN12SS2W13 are ROHS3 compliant and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9065) classifications.

Q: What electrical parameters must be verified for substitution?

A: Current rating (6A AC minimum, 4A DC minimum), voltage rating (125V AC minimum, 30V DC minimum), and circuit configuration (SPDT) must be maintained. Both substitute parts meet these requirements.

Q: Are there any mechanical constraints for panel integration?

A: Both parts require a circular panel cutout of 6.50mm diameter and feature through-hole mounting with PC Pin termination. Actuator length is 10.50mm for both components.
