Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute part identification for the M2013TYW03 is based on the following criteria:

• Manufacturer alignment: Parts sourced from the same manufacturer (NKK Switches) ensure design consistency and reliability
• Functional category: Switch components within the same general classification (switch/rocker switch)
• Regulatory compliance: Matching ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9065) classifications ensure compliance continuity
• Product status: Active production status of substitute parts ensures long-term availability and supply chain stability

The MN13TYW03 meets these substitution criteria as an active production alternative from NKK Switches.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between the M2013TYW03 and MN13TYW03 should be based on the following factors:

• Product status: The M2013TYW03 is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (676 units). The MN13TYW03 is in active production, ensuring future availability and supply chain continuity.
• Regulatory compliance: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9065) classifications, maintaining compliance requirements across substitution.
• Inventory availability: The MN13TYW03 offers higher current inventory (1025 units) compared to the original part, supporting larger production volumes or extended procurement windows.

For new designs or long-term applications, the MN13TYW03 is the appropriate selection due to active production status and regulatory alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MN13TYW03 directly replace the M2013TYW03 in existing applications?

A: The MN13TYW03 shares the same manufacturer (NKK Switches), regulatory classifications (ECCN and HTSUS), and general switch functionality. Substitution suitability depends on specific mechanical and electrical requirements of the application, which are not provided in this reference. Physical form factor and electrical specifications must be verified against application requirements.

Q: Why is the M2013TYW03 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that NKK Switches has discontinued production of this part. This is a standard lifecycle designation for components no longer manufactured. Existing inventory may be available through authorized distributors, but long-term supply cannot be guaranteed.

Q: What do the ECCN and HTSUS codes indicate?

A: ECCN (Export Control Classification Number) EAR99 indicates the part is subject to standard export control regulations. HTSUS (Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States) code 8536.50.9065 classifies the component for tariff and trade purposes. Both codes are identical between the original and substitute parts, ensuring regulatory continuity.

Q: Is inventory availability a factor in component selection?

A: Inventory availability reflects current stock levels at the time of reference. The MN13TYW03 shows higher inventory (1025 units) compared to the M2013TYW03 (676 units), which may influence procurement timelines for high-volume applications. However, inventory levels are subject to change and should be confirmed with suppliers at the time of purchase.
