Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the M2012SS2W13/CUL is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Circuit topology: SPDT configuration required
• Switch function: On-On operation mandatory
• Electrical ratings: 6A AC / 125V and 4A DC / 30V minimum
• Mechanical interface: Through-hole mounting with PC pin termination
• Actuator specifications: Standard round type, 10.50mm length
• Environmental specifications: Operating temperature range -30°C to 85°C
• Reliability: 25,000 cycle electrical life

The M2012SS2W13/CUL-235A qualifies as a direct substitute, maintaining all specified electrical and mechanical parameters while offering Active product status and improved supply availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M2012SS2W13/CUL-235A is the direct substitute for the obsolete M2012SS2W13/CUL. 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/CUL-235A carries Active status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support, availability, and compliance with current regulatory requirements. The substitute part is supplied in Bulk packaging, compared to the original part's standard packaging configuration.

For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance verification or REACH status confirmation, component documentation should be obtained directly from the manufacturer, as these certifications are not specified for the substitute part in the provided data.
