Equivalent & Substitute Parts for M2T22SA5A13

Part Overview

The M2T22SA5A13 is a toggle switch manufactured by NKK Switches, classified as a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) switch rated for 6A at 125V AC and 4A at 30V DC. This through-hole mounted component features a standard round actuator with PC pin termination and is sealed for environmental protection. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing maintenance, repair, and design continuity in applications requiring equivalent switching functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the M2T22SA5A13 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Circuit configuration: DPDT
• Switch function: On-On
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Actuator type: Standard Round
• Operating temperature range: -30°C to 85°C

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Current rating: Minimum 5A AC/DC (M2T22SA5A13 rated 6A AC / 4A DC)
• Voltage rating: Minimum 120V AC / 28V DC (M2T22SA5A13 rated 125V AC / 30V DC)

Acceptable Variations:

• Actuator length: ±0.42mm from 12.70mm specification
• Electrical life: Equal to or exceeding 25,000 cycles
• Sealing method: Process sealed or epoxy sealed terminals acceptable
• Actuator material finish: Nickel plated or chrome plated acceptable

The three substitute parts listed meet all primary matching criteria and fall within acceptable electrical and mechanical tolerances for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

M2022SA2A13 (NKK Switches): This substitute maintains identical electrical ratings (6A AC / 4A DC, 125V AC / 30V DC) and shares the same manufacturer lineage as the M2T22SA5A13. The actuator length variance of 0.42mm is within acceptable mechanical tolerance. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and rated for identical operating temperature ranges. This part is obsolete, matching the status of the original component. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for applications where NKK Switches product continuity is preferred and where the minor actuator length difference does not impact panel cutout or mechanical clearance requirements.

100AWDP1T1B4M2QE and 100AWDP1T1B4VS21QE (E-Switch): Both E-Switch alternatives provide active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. These parts operate at slightly reduced electrical ratings (5A AC/DC, 120V AC / 28V DC) compared to the original specification, but remain suitable for applications operating within these lower parameters. Both feature enhanced IP67 ingress protection and extended electrical life (30,000 cycles versus 25,000 cycles). These substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and maintain identical operating temperature ranges. Selection of E-Switch alternatives is appropriate for new designs or applications where enhanced environmental sealing and extended component life provide operational advantages.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the M2022SA2A13 be used as a direct replacement for the M2T22SA5A13?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical DPDT circuit configuration, On-On switch function, 6A AC / 4A DC current ratings, 125V AC / 30V DC voltage ratings, through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, and operating temperature range. The actuator length difference of 0.42mm (12.28mm versus 12.70mm) is within acceptable mechanical tolerance and does not affect electrical function. Verify that panel cutout dimensions accommodate the slightly shorter actuator if mechanical clearance is critical to your application.

Q: What are the electrical differences between the NKK Switches and E-Switch substitutes?

A: The E-Switch models (100AWDP1T1B4M2QE and 100AWDP1T1B4VS21QE) are rated for 5A AC/DC at 120V AC / 28V DC, compared to the original M2T22SA5A13 specification of 6A AC / 4A DC at 125V AC / 30V DC. These lower ratings remain suitable for applications operating within the E-Switch electrical envelope. The E-Switch alternatives provide enhanced IP67 ingress protection and longer electrical life (30,000 cycles).

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The M2T22SA5A13 and all three substitute parts (M2022SA2A13, 100AWDP1T1B4M2QE, 100AWDP1T1B4VS21QE) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the two E-Switch models?

A: The 100AWDP1T1B4M2QE and 100AWDP1T1B4VS21QE are electrically and mechanically identical. Both are rated 5A AC/DC at 120V AC / 28V DC, feature IP67 ingress protection, 12.70mm actuator length, and 30,000 cycle electrical life. Differences exist only in packaging designation and internal product coding. Either part is functionally equivalent for substitution purposes.

Q: Should I select an active product status substitute over an obsolete one?

A: Product status selection depends on application requirements. The E-Switch alternatives (100AWDP1T1B4M2QE and 100AWDP1T1B4VS21QE) offer active status, ensuring long-term supply chain availability and support. The M2022SA2A13 matches the obsolete status of the original part. For new designs or applications requiring extended component availability, active status substitutes are preferable. For legacy system maintenance where supply is already secured, either substitute is acceptable.

Q: Can I use these substitutes in applications rated above 5A AC?

A: No. The E-Switch substitutes are rated for maximum 5A AC/DC. Applications requiring 6A AC operation must use either the original M2T22SA5A13 or the M2022SA2A13, both rated for 6A AC. Exceeding component current ratings creates safety and reliability risks.
