Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

  • Circuit configuration (SPDT)
  • Switch function (On-On)
  • Current and voltage ratings (6A/125V AC minimum, 4A/30V DC minimum)
  • Mounting type (Through Hole)
  • Actuator specifications (Standard Round with Cap, 14.60mm length)
  • Termination style (PC Pin)
  • Panel cutout dimensions (Circular 6.50mm Dia)
  • Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
  • Electrical life (25,000 Cycles)

The substitute part MN12SS2W13-BC from NKK Switches meets these electrical and mechanical requirements, providing functional equivalence for applications requiring the M2012SS2W13-BC.
