Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the M2112LCW03/M are identified based on the following criteria:

• Manufacturer alignment: Same manufacturer (NKK Switches) ensures design and quality consistency
• Product category: Toggle switch classification maintained across all substitutes
• Export compliance: ECCN and HTSUS codes must remain identical to preserve regulatory compliance
• Functional equivalence: Same detailed product description (Toggle Switch) confirms functional compatibility

The MNL12LCW03/M meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an active product, providing supply chain continuity for the obsolete M2112LCW03/M.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MNL12LCW03/M is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the M2112LCW03/M. Both components share identical export compliance classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.50.9065) and functional specifications as toggle switches from NKK Switches.

The primary distinction is product status: the M2112LCW03/M is obsolete while the MNL12LCW03/M maintains active production status. For new designs and long-term applications, the MNL12LCW03/M is the appropriate selection. For existing inventory management of the M2112LCW03/M, both parts remain available in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes MNL12LCW03/M a valid substitute for M2112LCW03/M?
