Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the M2015ES2W13 are identified based on functional equivalence within the toggle switch category. The primary substitution criterion is manufacturer continuity—NKK Switches produces both the obsolete M2015ES2W13 and its active equivalent. Substitution is valid when the following parameters align:

• Manufacturer: NKK Switches
• Product Category: Toggle Switch
• ECCN Classification: EAR99
• HTSUS Code: 8536.50.9065
• Product Status: Active (preferred for new designs and ongoing supply)

The MN15ES2W13 meets all substitution criteria and represents the active-status equivalent within the same manufacturer's product line.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MN15ES2W13 is the direct substitute for the M2015ES2W13. Selection should prioritize the MN15ES2W13 for the following reasons:

• Active product status ensures long-term availability and manufacturer support
• Identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications confirm regulatory equivalence
• Consistent manufacturer sourcing eliminates supply chain fragmentation
• Higher inventory availability (831 Pcs vs. 683 Pcs) supports production scheduling

For legacy systems or applications where the M2015ES2W13 is specifically required, existing inventory remains available. However, new designs should incorporate the MN15ES2W13 to ensure sustained component availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes MN15ES2W13 a valid substitute for M2015ES2W13?

A: Both parts are toggle switches from NKK Switches with identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The MN15ES2W13 maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support and supply continuity.

Q: Can I use MN15ES2W13 as a direct replacement in existing designs?
