M2018TYW01-HC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The M2018TYW01-HC is a rocker switch manufactured by NKK Switches, classified as SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) with a momentary-off-momentary (Mom-Off-Mom) switch function. This panel-mount component is rated for 6A AC at 125V and 3A DC at 30V, featuring a red paddle actuator with solder lug termination and epoxy-sealed terminals. The product is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing system support and component replacement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M2018TYW01-HC is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: SPDT topology
• Switch Function: Mom-Off-Mom operation
• Current Rating: 6A AC / 3A DC minimum
• Voltage Rating: 125V AC / 30V DC minimum
• Actuator Type: Paddle configuration
• Mounting Interface: Panel mount with flange
• Termination: Solder lug connection
• Panel Cutout Compatibility: Rectangular 28.50mm x 16.00mm
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS3 and regulatory certifications (CSA, UL)

The identified substitute MN18TYW01-HC is manufactured by NKK Switches and shares the same base product family (MN18TY series), indicating design compatibility within the manufacturer's product line. Both components are classified under HTSUS 8536.50.9065 and carry EAR99 export classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M2018TYW01-HC is classified as obsolete. The MN18TYW01-HC substitute is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability. Both components are manufactured by NKK Switches and share identical export classification (EAR99) and tariff coding (HTSUS 8536.50.9065), indicating regulatory alignment.

Selection of the MN18TYW01-HC as a replacement is supported by:

• Active product status ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability
• Manufacturer continuity (NKK Switches)
• Shared base product family designation (MN18TY vs. M2018TY)
• Equivalent regulatory classification and compliance framework

For applications requiring the specific electrical and mechanical parameters of the M2018TYW01-HC (SPDT, Mom-Off-Mom, 6A AC/3A DC, 125V AC/30V DC, paddle actuator, panel mount with solder lug termination), the MN18TYW01-HC provides functional equivalence within the NKK Switches product portfolio.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the M2018TYW01-HC listed as obsolete?

A: The M2018TYW01-HC has reached end-of-life status in the manufacturer's product line. The MN18TYW01-HC represents the active equivalent within NKK Switches' current rocker switch offerings.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between M2018TYW01-HC and MN18TYW01-HC?

A: The provided specifications for MN18TYW01-HC do not include detailed electrical parameters. Verification of electrical ratings (current, voltage, circuit configuration) against application requirements is necessary before final component selection.

Q: What are the key compatibility factors for substitution?

A: Compatibility is determined by circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (Mom-Off-Mom), current and voltage ratings (6A AC/125V, 3A DC/30V minimum), actuator type (paddle), mounting interface (panel mount with flange), termination style (solder lug), and panel cutout dimensions (28.50mm x 16.00mm).

Q: Is the MN18TYW01-HC available in the same packaging as the original?

A: The M2018TYW01-HC packaging is not specified in the provided data. The MN18TYW01-HC is available in bulk packaging. Packaging compatibility should be confirmed against procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Do both components meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Both components share identical HTSUS classification (8536.50.9065) and ECCN designation (EAR99). The M2018TYW01-HC carries CSA and UL approvals. Regulatory certification details for MN18TYW01-HC are not provided in the available specifications.

Q: What is the mechanical life expectancy of the substitute?

A: Mechanical life specifications for the MN18TYW01-HC are not included in the provided data. The original M2018TYW01-HC is rated for 50,000 mechanical cycles. Mechanical durability requirements should be confirmed with the manufacturer for the substitute component.
