Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M2012TXW13-DF 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 (CSA, UL approvals)

The MN12TXW13-DF is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both parts are manufactured by NKK Switches and share the same base product family designation (M/MN series). The substitute maintains compatibility with the electrical and mechanical requirements of the original specification.
