M2018SS2W13 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The M2018SS2W13 is a toggle switch manufactured by NKK Switches, featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration with momentary-off-momentary (Mom-Off-Mom) switching function. This through-hole mounted component is rated for 6A at 125V AC and 3A at 30V DC, with a standard round actuator and epoxy sealed terminals. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M2018SS2W13 is determined by strict alignment with the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Circuit configuration must remain SPDT to maintain switching logic compatibility. Switch function must support Mom-Off-Mom operation for applications requiring momentary contact behavior. Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed the original specifications: minimum 6A at 125V AC and 3A at 30V DC. Mounting type must be through-hole to ensure PCB compatibility without redesign. Actuator type and length must match the standard round 10.50mm specification for mechanical fit within the panel cutout (6.50mm circular diameter). Termination style must be PC Pin for direct board connection. Operating temperature range must encompass -30°C to 85°C. RoHS3 compliance is required for regulatory alignment.

The substitute part MN18SS2W13 meets these criteria as an active product from NKK Switches with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MN18SS2W13 is the primary substitute for the obsolete M2018SS2W13. Both components are manufactured by NKK Switches and maintain identical electrical ratings and mechanical specifications. The key advantage of MN18SS2W13 is its active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain reliability. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and equivalent performance characteristics across the specified operating temperature range. Selection of MN18SS2W13 eliminates obsolescence risk while preserving full functional and mechanical compatibility with existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MN18SS2W13 directly replace M2018SS2W13 without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical through-hole mounting specifications, PC Pin termination, and panel cutout dimensions (6.50mm circular). No PCB layout changes are required.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between the two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 6A at 125V AC and 3A at 30V DC, with identical SPDT circuit configuration and Mom-Off-Mom switching function.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute M2018SS2W13?

A: M2018SS2W13 is obsolete. MN18SS2W13 is an active product from the same manufacturer, providing equivalent performance with assured long-term availability.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both M2018SS2W13 and MN18SS2W13 are ROHS3 compliant and carry equivalent regulatory certifications.

Q: Is packaging a consideration when selecting between these parts?

A: Packaging differs (M2018SS2W13 supplied in Tray; MN18SS2W13 supplied in Bulk), but this does not affect component functionality or compatibility. Packaging selection depends on procurement and inventory management requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both components operate across -30°C to 85°C, ensuring compatibility in equivalent thermal environments.
