Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M2T12TXW30-DF is determined by the following critical parameters: circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-On), current and voltage ratings (6A AC/125V, 4A DC/30V), mounting type (through hole, right angle), termination style (PC pin), and regulatory compliance (RoHS3, CSA/UL approvals).

The M2012TXW30-DF qualifies as a substitute based on manufacturer continuity (NKK Switches), shared electrical specifications, and active product status. While detailed specifications for the M2012TXW30-DF are limited in the provided data, the part number structure and base product designation (M2012TX) indicate compatibility within the NKK Switches M-series rocker switch family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M2012TXW30-DF is identified as an active substitute for the obsolete M2T12TXW30-DF. Selection of the M2012TXW30-DF is supported by: (1) continued availability from the original manufacturer, (2) shared ECCN and HTSUS classifications indicating equivalent product categorization, (3) identical moisture sensitivity level, and (4) manufacturer continuity within the NKK Switches product line.

For applications requiring the M2T12TXW30-DF, the M2012TXW30-DF provides supply chain continuity. Verification of electrical specifications, mounting dimensions, and actuator characteristics against application requirements is necessary prior to implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the M2T12TXW30-DF considered obsolete? A: The M2T12TXW30-DF is classified as obsolete by NKK Switches, indicating discontinued production. The M2012TXW30-DF, with active product status, represents the current equivalent offering.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution? A: Circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-On), current ratings (6A AC, 4A DC), voltage ratings (125V AC, 30V DC), mounting type (through hole, right angle), and termination style (PC pin) determine substitution compatibility.

Q: Are the M2T12TXW30-DF and M2012TXW30-DF mechanically interchangeable? A: Both parts are manufactured by NKK Switches with PC pin termination and through-hole, right-angle mounting. Mechanical compatibility is supported by shared design characteristics within the M-series rocker switch family.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts? A: Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and 8536.50.9065 HTSUS code. The M2T12TXW30-DF holds CSA and UL approvals; equivalent certifications for the M2012TXW30-DF should be confirmed with the manufacturer.

Q: Is the M2012TXW30-DF RoHS compliant? A: The M2T12TXW30-DF is ROHS3 compliant. RoHS compliance status for the M2012TXW30-DF should be verified with NKK Switches prior to procurement for applications with RoHS requirements.
