Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M2015TXW13 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Current and voltage ratings (6A AC / 3A DC at 125V AC / 30V DC minimum)
• Switch function (On-Mom momentary operation)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C)
• Mechanical and electrical life specifications (50,000 / 25,000 cycles minimum)
• Regulatory compliance (CSA, UL certification)

The MN15TXW13 is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. However, complete electrical and mechanical parameter data for the MN15TXW13 is not provided in the available documentation. Verification of full parameter alignment with the above criteria is required before implementation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M2015TXW13 remains available in inventory (1231 units) and maintains ROHS3 compliance and dual CSA/UL certification. For applications currently utilizing this component, continued use of original stock is viable where supply permits.

The MN15TXW13 is designated as the manufacturer-recommended substitute and carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support. Both components are manufactured by NKK Switches and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, indicating regulatory equivalence for export and trade purposes.

Selection between the main part and substitute should be based on: (1) remaining inventory requirements, (2) design validation against the MN15TXW13 electrical and mechanical specifications, and (3) supply chain continuity objectives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the M2015TXW13 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active production. However, existing inventory remains available for procurement. The MN15TXW13 represents the active-status alternative for future designs and replenishment.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution compatibility?

A: The substitute must maintain SPDT circuit configuration, 6A AC / 3A DC current ratings at 125V AC / 30V DC, through-hole mounting with PC pin termination, operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C, and minimum mechanical/electrical life of 50,000 / 25,000 cycles respectively.

Q: Are both parts CSA and UL certified?

A: The M2015TXW13 carries CSA and UL certifications. Certification status for the MN15TXW13 must be confirmed through the manufacturer's current documentation.

Q: What is the difference between "Mini PC Mount" and standard through-hole mounting?

A: The MN15TXW13 is described as "Mini PC Mount," which may indicate dimensional or mounting configuration differences from the M2015TXW13 through-hole design. Physical compatibility must be verified before substitution.

Q: Can I use the MN15TXW13 as a direct drop-in replacement?

A: The MN15TXW13 is manufacturer-recommended but requires validation of mounting compatibility, panel cutout dimensions, and complete electrical parameter alignment before implementation as a direct replacement.

Q: What export classifications apply to these parts?

A: Both components are classified as EAR99 under ECCN and 8536.50.9065 under HTSUS, indicating standard commercial export treatment with no specific licensing requirements for most destinations.
