Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the M2T12TXG13 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Current rating (0.4VA AC/DC)
• Voltage rating (28V AC and DC)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Mechanical and electrical life (50,000 cycles)
• Regulatory compliance (CSA, UL approval; ROHS3 compliant)

The M2012TXG13 meets all these criteria and is identified as a direct substitute. Both parts belong to the NKK Switches rocker switch family and maintain identical electrical performance specifications and environmental ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M2012TXG13 is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the M2T12TXG13. Both components satisfy identical functional requirements and maintain equivalent performance across all specified electrical parameters, environmental ratings, and regulatory certifications.

The primary differences between these parts are packaging format (Bulk versus Tray) and terminal sealing methodology (Process Sealed versus Epoxy Sealed Terminals). These differences do not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility in circuit applications.

Selection between M2T12TXG13 and M2012TXG13 should be based on procurement requirements, inventory availability, and packaging specifications for the intended application. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and CSA/UL approval, ensuring regulatory alignment for applications requiring these certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can M2012TXG13 be used as a direct replacement for M2T12TXG13?

A: Yes. Both parts are SPDT On-On rocker switches with identical electrical ratings (0.4VA at 28V AC/DC), mounting configuration (through-hole with PC pin termination), and environmental specifications (-30°C to 85°C operating range, 50,000 cycle mechanical and electrical life). Regulatory certifications (CSA, UL) and RoHS3 compliance are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between Process Sealed and Epoxy Sealed Terminals?

A: Both sealing methods provide environmental protection for the switch terminals. Process Sealed refers to sealing applied during manufacturing, while Epoxy Sealed Terminals indicates epoxy material applied to terminal connections. Both approaches maintain equivalent electrical performance and environmental protection for the specified operating conditions.

Q: Does packaging format affect component functionality?

A: No. Packaging format (Bulk versus Tray) affects only handling, storage, and procurement logistics. Electrical performance, mechanical characteristics, and functional compatibility remain identical regardless of packaging configuration.

Q: Are both parts suitable for applications requiring CSA and UL certification?

A: Yes. Both M2T12TXG13 and M2012TXG13 carry CSA and UL approval and are ROHS3 compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for certified applications.

Q: What is the mechanical life specification?

A: Both parts are rated for 50,000 mechanical cycles and 50,000 electrical cycles, indicating the expected operational lifespan under specified conditions.
