Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M2012TJW01-GA-2AC is determined by the following critical parameters:

  • Circuit configuration (SPDT)
  • Switch function (On-On)
  • Current and voltage ratings (6A/125V AC, 4A/30V DC minimum)
  • Actuator type and illumination specifications (Paddle, LED Red, 2.8VDC)
  • Mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Snap-In)
  • Termination style (Solder Lug)
  • Panel cutout dimensions (15.90mm x 12.50mm)
  • Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
  • Regulatory compliance (CSA, UL, ROHS3)

The MN12TJW01-GA-2AC meets these substitution criteria as an active product from NKK Switches with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.
