M2015TXW13-DC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The M2015TXW13-DC is a rocker switch manufactured by NKK Switches, classified as SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) with a rated capacity of 6A at 125V AC and 3A at 30V DC. This through-hole mounted component features a red concave actuator with epoxy sealed PC pin terminals and is designed for on-momentary switch function applications.

The M2015TXW13-DC is currently listed as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this component.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the M2015TXW13-DC are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-Momentary)
• Current and voltage ratings (minimum AC 6A at 125V or equivalent DC ratings)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Actuator type and color (Concave, Red)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Operating temperature range compatibility (-30°C to 85°C)

Substitute Categories:

MFR Recommended Substitute: MN15TXW13-DC (NKK Switches) — Same manufacturer, mini PC mount rocker switch variant with active product status and higher inventory availability.

Similar Substitute: 300SP2J1REDVS2QE (E-Switch) — SPDT rocker switch with comparable electrical ratings (5A AC/DC at 120V), matching actuator specifications (red concave), through-hole mounting, and active product status. Electrical life rating of 40,000 cycles exceeds the original specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MN15TXW13-DC Selection Rationale: The MN15TXW13-DC is the manufacturer-recommended substitute from NKK Switches. As an active product with higher inventory availability (1023 units), it provides supply chain continuity from the original manufacturer. This option is preferred for designs where manufacturer consistency and support are prioritized.

300SP2J1REDVS2QE Selection Rationale: The 300SP2J1REDVS2QE from E-Switch provides an alternative from an established component manufacturer. It meets or exceeds the electrical specifications of the original part (5A AC/DC at 120V versus 6A AC at 125V), maintains identical mechanical and actuator characteristics, and demonstrates superior electrical life performance (40,000 cycles versus 25,000 cycles). Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and equivalent environmental ratings. This option is suitable for applications where cross-manufacturer sourcing is acceptable and enhanced reliability margins are beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MN15TXW13-DC directly replace the M2015TXW13-DC? A: The MN15TXW13-DC is the manufacturer-recommended substitute from NKK Switches. However, detailed electrical and mechanical specifications for the MN15TXW13-DC are not fully documented in available data. Verification of circuit configuration, current ratings, and mounting compatibility with your specific application is recommended before implementation.

Q: What are the key differences between the 300SP2J1REDVS2QE and the original M2015TXW13-DC? A: The 300SP2J1REDVS2QE is manufactured by E-Switch rather than NKK Switches. Current ratings are 5A AC/DC at 120V (versus 6A AC at 125V for the original). DC voltage rating is 28V (versus 30V). Electrical life is 40,000 cycles (versus 25,000 cycles). All other critical parameters—circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-Momentary), mounting type (Through Hole), actuator type and color (Concave, Red), termination style (PC Pin), and operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)—are equivalent.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: The 300SP2J1REDVS2QE is confirmed ROHS3 compliant. RoHS status for the MN15TXW13-DC is not specified in available documentation.

Q: What is the difference between "MFR Recommended" and "Similar" substitutes? A: The MFR Recommended substitute (MN15TXW13-DC) is designated by the original manufacturer, NKK Switches, providing direct manufacturer support and continuity. The Similar substitute (300SP2J1REDVS2QE) is from an alternative manufacturer and meets functional and electrical requirements based on documented specifications.

Q: Can I use the 300SP2J1REDVS2QE in a 125V AC application? A: The 300SP2J1REDVS2QE is rated for 120V AC. While this is close to 125V, the rated voltage should not be exceeded. Application at 125V AC exceeds the component's specified rating and is not recommended.

Q: What is the inventory status of these substitute parts? A: MN15TXW13-DC: 1023 units in stock. 300SP2J1REDVS2QE: 906 units in stock. Both are available as new original components.
