Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the M2015TYW03 is based on alignment with the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer consistency (NKK Switches product line)
• Functional classification (switch category)
• Regulatory compliance (ECCN and HTSUS alignment)
• Product status transition (from obsolete to active production alternatives)

The MN15TYW03 qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on shared regulatory classification, identical ECCN and HTSUS codes, and active production status within the same manufacturer's portfolio.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between the M2015TYW03 and MN15TYW03 should be based on the following criteria:

• The M2015TYW03 remains available in higher inventory quantity (1,071 units) and may be selected for immediate procurement needs where existing stock is accessible.
• The MN15TYW03 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturer support.
• Both parts share identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.50.9065), confirming compliance equivalence for export and tariff purposes.
• The transition from toggle switch to rocker switch form factor requires mechanical integration verification in the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the M2015TYW03 classified as obsolete? A: The M2015TYW03 has been discontinued by NKK Switches and is no longer manufactured. The MN15TYW03 represents the active production alternative within the manufacturer's current product line.

Q: Are the M2015TYW03 and MN15TYW03 electrically equivalent? A: Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, confirming regulatory and compliance equivalence. Electrical specifications beyond the provided parameters require consultation of detailed datasheets.

Q: What is the difference between a toggle switch and a rocker switch? A: The M2015TYW03 is a toggle switch, while the MN15TYW03 is a rocker switch. These represent different mechanical actuation styles. Mechanical compatibility must be verified for the specific application before substitution.

Q: How long will M2015TYW03 inventory remain available? A: Current inventory stands at 1,071 units. Procurement timelines depend on market demand and should be planned accordingly for obsolete components.

Q: Can I use MN15TYW03 as a direct replacement? A: The MN15TYW03 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. Mechanical form factor differences (rocker vs. toggle) require application-specific integration assessment before implementation.
