M22-FW-T2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The M22-FW-T2 is an LED panel indicator manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety, designed for AC pilot light applications at 200V with 8mA current consumption. The unit features a white diffused lens with round geometry and IP65 ingress protection rating. This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing maintenance and new system designs where this component is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M22-FW-T2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer series compatibility (M22 series)
• Electrical ratings (AC, 200V, 8mA)
• Lens color and transparency (White, Diffused)
• Panel cutout dimensions (0.88" / 22.35mm)
• Ingress protection level (IP65)
• Environmental classification (MSL 1)

The M22-CW-T2 qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical electrical and environmental parameters. The primary distinction is the lens geometry: the M22-FW-T2 features a round lens with flat top, while the M22-CW-T2 features a square lens with flat top. Both maintain identical panel cutout dimensions, voltage, current, and protection ratings, allowing functional substitution in applications where lens shape does not impose mechanical or aesthetic constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M22-CW-T2 is the primary substitute for the obsolete M22-FW-T2. Both components share identical electrical specifications (200V AC, 8mA), environmental protection (IP65), and panel mounting dimensions (0.88" / 22.35mm). The M22-CW-T2 carries active product status and RoHS compliance certification, providing supply continuity and regulatory alignment for new designs.

The lens geometry difference (round versus square) represents the only functional distinction. Panel cutout compatibility is maintained through identical mounting hole dimensions. Selection between these components should be based on visual appearance requirements and available panel space for the lens profile.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the M22-CW-T2 be used as a direct replacement for the M22-FW-T2?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mounting perspective. Both components operate at 200V AC with 8mA current draw and mount through identical 0.88" (22.35mm) panel cutouts. The lens shape differs (round versus square), which may affect visual appearance and the space available around the indicator on the panel.

Q: Are there any voltage or current rating differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the M22-FW-T2 and M22-CW-T2 are rated for 200V AC at 8mA. Electrical compatibility is complete.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The M22-FW-T2 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing. The M22-CW-T2 maintains active status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. For new system designs, the M22-CW-T2 is the recommended choice.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental protection standards?

A: Yes. Both components carry IP65 ingress protection rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, providing equivalent environmental performance.

Q: What is the primary consideration when selecting between these two parts?

A: Lens geometry and panel aesthetics. The M22-FW-T2 features a round lens (29.70mm diameter), while the M22-CW-T2 features a square lens (25.60mm). Panel layout and visual design requirements should guide the selection.
