Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the M2013TXW13-DF is determined by electrical and mechanical compatibility based on the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-Off-On)
• Current and voltage ratings (6A AC / 125V, 3A DC / 30V)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Mechanical and electrical life specifications

The substitute part MN13TXW13-DF is identified as a manufacturer-recommended equivalent from NKK Switches. Both parts share the same base product number series (M/MN13TX) and are manufactured by the same supplier, indicating design lineage and compatibility within the product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M2013TXW13-DF is obsolete and no longer in active production. The MN13TXW13-DF is the manufacturer-recommended substitute, currently in active production status with 877 units available in inventory. Both parts are manufactured by NKK Switches and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence. The substitute part maintains the same base product family designation, indicating design compatibility and functional equivalence for applications requiring SPDT rocker switch functionality at the specified electrical ratings.

Selection of the MN13TXW13-DF is appropriate for replacement applications where the M2013TXW13-DF is no longer procurable. Both parts comply with ROHS3 requirements and carry CSA and UL approvals, supporting use in regulated applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MN13TXW13-DF directly replace the M2013TXW13-DF in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are SPDT rocker switches from NKK Switches with identical circuit configuration and switch function. The MN13TXW13-DF is the active production equivalent designated by the manufacturer for legacy M2013TXW13-DF applications.

Q: What are the key electrical compatibility criteria?

A: The substitute must maintain SPDT circuit configuration, On-Off-On switch function, and support the same current ratings (6A AC, 3A DC) and voltage ratings (125V AC, 30V DC). The MN13TXW13-DF meets these requirements.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility considerations?

A: Both parts use through-hole mounting with PC pin termination, supporting installation in existing PCB designs. Verify panel cutout dimensions and actuator clearance in your specific application layout.

Q: What is the difference between the M and MN base product designations?

A: The M2013TX and MN13TX designations indicate product family evolution within NKK Switches' rocker switch portfolio. The MN series represents the current production line, while the M series is obsolete. Both maintain functional and electrical equivalence for SPDT switching applications.

Q: Are compliance certifications identical?

A: Both parts carry CSA and UL approvals and are ROHS3 compliant. ECCN and HTSUS classifications are identical, confirming regulatory equivalence for export and procurement purposes.
