M2012TJW01-FA-2A-C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The M2012TJW01-FA-2A-C is a rocker switch manufactured by NKK Switches, configured as a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch with on-on functionality. This panel-mount, snap-in component is rated for 6A at 125V AC and 4A at 30V DC, featuring an illuminated concave actuator with red LED indication at 2.8VDC nominal. The switch employs solder lug termination with epoxy-sealed terminals and operates across a temperature range of -30°C to 85°C.

The M2012TJW01-FA-2A-C is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent or substitute components becomes necessary when original stock is depleted or when design revisions require active product alternatives that maintain functional and electrical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M2012TJW01-FA-2A-C is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration & Function: SPDT on-on topology must be maintained
• Electrical Ratings: Current capacity (6A AC / 4A DC) and voltage ratings (125V AC / 30V DC) must be met or exceeded
• Mechanical Interface: Panel mount, snap-in mounting with matching panel cutout dimensions (15.90mm x 12.50mm)
• Actuator & Illumination: Concave illuminated actuator with red LED at 2.8VDC nominal
• Termination: Solder lug termination style
• Environmental & Compliance: Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C), RoHS3 compliance, and CSA/UL approvals

The MN12TJW01-FA-2A-C qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on functional equivalence across these parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M2012TJW01-FA-2A-C is obsolete; the MN12TJW01-FA-2A-C is designated as the manufacturer-recommended substitute and carries active product status. This transition from the M-series to the MN-series base product number reflects NKK Switches' current product line evolution.
