Key Parameters

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.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations
