Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M2012TXW30-DH 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, right-angle orientation)
• Termination style (PC pin)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Mechanical and electrical life specifications (50,000 and 25,000 cycles respectively)

The MN12TXW30-DH is identified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both parts share the same base product family (M/MN series from NKK Switches) and identical HTSUS and ECCN classifications, indicating functional and regulatory equivalence within the rocker switch category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M2012TXW30-DH is obsolete; however, original stock remains available (1058 units). For new designs or long-term system support, the MN12TXW30-DH is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer. Both parts carry identical export classifications (EAR99) and tariff codes (8536.50.9065), confirming regulatory equivalence.

Selection between the obsolete M2012TXW30-DH and active MN12TXW30-DH should be based on:

• Availability requirements and project timeline
• Compliance with existing system certifications (CSA, UL)
• Long-term supply chain sustainability
• Cost considerations relative to inventory status

The MN12TXW30-DH is recommended for new applications and systems requiring extended product lifecycle support.
