Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MN12TXG13-FC is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute for the M2012TXG13-FC. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

Circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-On), current rating (0.4VA AC/DC), voltage rating (28V), termination style (PC Pin), and operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C) establish the functional requirements for equivalent operation. Both parts are manufactured by NKK Switches and share the same base product family designation (M/MN series), confirming design compatibility at the component level.

The MN12TXG13-FC maintains electrical and mechanical specifications consistent with the original M2012TXG13-FC, enabling direct functional substitution in applications requiring SPDT rocker switch operation within the specified voltage and current parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MN12TXG13-FC is the manufacturer-designated substitute for the obsolete M2012TXG13-FC. Selection of the MN12TXG13-FC is appropriate for applications requiring continued component availability, as the original part is no longer in production. Both parts carry identical ECCN classification (EAR99) and share the same HTSUS commodity code (8536.50.9065), confirming regulatory equivalence.

The active product status of the MN12TXG13-FC ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both components are supplied in bulk packaging and maintain compatibility with existing procurement and logistics workflows.
