Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MN12TNW01-DF is identified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the M2012TNW01-DF. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Current and voltage ratings (6A AC/125V, 4A DC/30V)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Flange)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Rectangular - 17.80mm x 10.10mm)
• Termination style (Solder Lug)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Regulatory compliance (CSA, UL approval)

The MN12TNW01-DF maintains compatibility with these core electrical and mechanical parameters, enabling direct substitution in applications currently utilizing the M2012TNW01-DF.

Parameter Comparison
