Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M2012TJW01-GA is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Current and voltage ratings (6A AC / 125V, 4A DC / 30V minimum)
• Mounting type (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)
• Regulatory compliance (CSA, UL approvals)

The MN12TJW01-GA is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both components are manufactured by NKK Switches and share the same base product series designation (M and MN respectively), indicating design compatibility within the manufacturer's product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations
