M2013TXW13 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The M2013TXW13 is a rocker switch manufactured by NKK Switches, classified as SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) with On-Off-On functionality. This through-hole mounted switch is rated for 6A at 125V AC and 3A at 30V DC, designed for general-purpose switching applications. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing maintenance, repair, and legacy system support. The switch features epoxy sealed PC pin terminals and meets CSA and UL approval standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the M2013TXW13 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-Off-On), current ratings (6A AC / 3A DC minimum), and voltage ratings (125V AC / 30V DC minimum) must be maintained or exceeded in any substitute part.

Mechanical Parameters: Mounting type (through-hole), termination style (PC pin), and actuator type compatibility are essential for physical installation in existing PCB layouts.

Environmental & Compliance Parameters: Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C), mechanical life (50,000 cycles), electrical life (25,000 cycles), and regulatory approvals (CSA, UL) establish the baseline performance and safety requirements.

Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status must be maintained for regulatory continuity.

The substitute part MN13TXW13 is identified as the manufacturer-recommended equivalent from NKK Switches.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MN13TXW13 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete M2013TXW13. Both parts are manufactured by NKK Switches and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, indicating equivalent regulatory treatment. The substitute part maintains ROHS3 compliance, ensuring continued adherence to environmental regulations.

The transition from the obsolete M2013TXW13 to the active MN13TXW13 is supported by NKK Switches' official substitution designation. The active product status of MN13TXW13 ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity for new designs and legacy system replacements.
