Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MN12TJG01 is identified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the M2012TJG01. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

  • Circuit configuration (SPDT)
  • Current and voltage ratings (0.4VA at 28V AC/DC)
  • Mounting method (Panel Mount, Snap-In)
  • Termination style (Solder Lug)
  • Panel cutout dimensions (Rectangular - 15.90mm x 12.50mm)
  • Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
  • Mechanical and electrical life specifications (50,000 Cycles)

The MN12TJG01 maintains compatibility with applications originally designed for the M2012TJG01 through preservation of these functional and mechanical parameters.
