Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M2012TXW13 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Current and voltage ratings (6A AC / 4A DC at 125V AC / 30V DC minimum)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Mechanical and electrical life specifications
• Regulatory compliance (RoHS3, CSA, UL)

The MN12TXW13 is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. However, complete electrical and mechanical specifications for the MN12TXW13 are not provided in the available data. Verification of compatibility against all critical parameters listed above is required before implementation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MN12TXW13 is designated as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete M2012TXW13. Both components are manufactured by NKK Switches and share identical RoHS3 compliance status, ECCN classification, and HTSUS coding, indicating functional equivalence within the NKK Switches product family.

The MN12TXW13 carries active product status, ensuring availability and ongoing manufacturer support. Selection of the MN12TXW13 is appropriate for applications requiring a direct replacement for the M2012TXW13 where component specifications align with design requirements.

Complete electrical and mechanical parameter verification is necessary prior to final component selection to confirm all performance criteria are met.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the M2012TXW13 being replaced? A: The M2012TXW13 is classified as obsolete and is no longer in active production. The MN12TXW13 is the manufacturer-recommended active alternative.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution? A: Circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-On), current ratings (6A AC / 4A DC), voltage ratings (125V AC / 30V DC), mounting type (Through Hole), termination style (PC Pin), and operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C) must be verified for compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. Both the M2012TXW13 and MN12TXW13 are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What information is missing for the MN12TXW13? A: Complete electrical specifications including circuit configuration, current ratings, voltage ratings, mechanical life, electrical life, and operating temperature range are not provided in the available data. These parameters must be obtained from the manufacturer datasheet before implementation.

Q: Can the MN12TXW13 be used as a direct drop-in replacement? A: The MN12TXW13 is designated as the manufacturer-recommended substitute. However, physical dimensions, mounting configuration, and all electrical parameters must be verified against your specific application requirements and the original design specifications.
