Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M2012TNW01-EH 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, 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 substitute part MN12TNW01-EH is identified as a manufacturer-recommended equivalent from NKK Switches. However, complete electrical and mechanical parameter data for this substitute is not provided in the available documentation. Verification of full parameter alignment with the above criteria is required before implementation in production applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MN12TNW01-EH is designated as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete M2012TNW01-EH. Both parts are manufactured by NKK Switches and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, indicating regulatory alignment. The substitute maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Selection of the MN12TNW01-EH is supported by:
