M2012TXG30-DH Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The M2012TXG30-DH is a rocker switch manufactured by NKK Switches, classified as SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) with On-On switching function. This through-hole, right-angle mounted component is rated for 0.4VA at 28V AC/DC operation. The product is currently obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The switch features epoxy sealed terminals, CSA and UL approvals, and is RoHS3 compliant.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the M2012TXG30-DH is based on the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Current and voltage ratings (0.4VA at 28V AC/DC)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Mounting compatibility (through-hole, right-angle orientation)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Mechanical and electrical life specifications (50,000 cycles minimum)
• Regulatory compliance (CSA, UL approvals; RoHS3 compliance)

The MN12TXG30-DH is identified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both parts share the same base product family (M/MN series from NKK Switches) and are assigned identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, indicating functional and regulatory equivalence within the rocker switch category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MN12TXG30-DH is the manufacturer-designated substitute for the obsolete M2012TXG30-DH. Selection of this alternative is supported by:

• Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support
• Identical export classification (EAR99) and tariff coding (HTSUS 8536.50.9065), confirming regulatory equivalence
• Common manufacturer (NKK Switches) and shared product family lineage
• Bulk packaging availability for production-scale applications

For applications requiring the M2012TXG30-DH, transition to the MN12TXG30-DH is the appropriate engineering solution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the M2012TXG30-DH obsolete? A: The M2012TXG30-DH is classified as obsolete by NKK Switches. The MN12TXG30-DH represents the active product line continuation within the same manufacturer family.
