M2018TXG13 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The M2018TXG13 is a rocker switch manufactured by NKK Switches, featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration with a momentary-off-momentary (Mom-Off-Mom) switch function. This through-hole mounted component is rated for 0.4VA at 28V AC/DC operation and is sealed with epoxy-coated terminals for enhanced reliability. The product is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M2018TXG13 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (Mom-Off-Mom)
• Current and voltage ratings (0.4VA at 28V AC/DC)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Mechanical and electrical life specifications (50,000 cycles minimum)
• Regulatory compliance (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected, CSA/UL approval)

The substitute part MN18TXG13 is identified as the manufacturer-recommended equivalent from NKK Switches. While detailed electrical and mechanical specifications for the substitute are not fully documented in available data, both components share the same base product number series (M/MN18TX) and identical regulatory compliance status, indicating functional equivalence within the NKK Switches product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MN18TXG13 is the manufacturer-designated substitute for the obsolete M2018TXG13. Both components maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification, ensuring regulatory continuity. The substitute part is currently in active production status with documented inventory availability, providing supply chain reliability for replacement and new applications.

Selection of the MN18TXG13 is supported by NKK Switches' official substitution designation and shared compliance certifications. The transition from the obsolete M2018TXG13 to the active MN18TXG13 maintains functional and regulatory equivalence for 28V rocker switch applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the M2018TXG13 being replaced? A: The M2018TXG13 is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The MN18TXG13 is the active equivalent designated by NKK Switches for continued component availability.

Q: Are the M2018TXG13 and MN18TXG13 electrically equivalent? A: Both components are manufactured by NKK Switches and share the same base product series designation (M/MN18TX). The MN18TXG13 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute, indicating functional equivalence for SPDT rocker switch applications.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for substitution? A: Substitution is valid when the replacement component maintains SPDT circuit configuration, Mom-Off-Mom switch function, 0.4VA current rating at 28V AC/DC operation, and equivalent mechanical/electrical life specifications (50,000 cycles).

Q: Does the substitute part maintain the same regulatory compliance? A: Yes. Both the M2018TXG13 and MN18TXG13 are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9065) classifications.

Q: What is the difference between through-hole and PC mount configurations? A: The M2018TXG13 is specified as through-hole mounted with PC pin termination. The MN18TXG13 is described as mini PC mount. Both termination styles are compatible with standard PCB assembly processes for rocker switch applications.

Q: Is inventory available for the substitute part? A: Yes. The MN18TXG13 has 674 pieces documented as new original stock, providing immediate availability for component procurement.
