M2T22SA5W13 Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The M2T22SA5W13 is a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) toggle switch manufactured by NKK Switches, rated for 6A at 125V AC and 4A at 30V DC. This through-hole mounted switch features a standard round actuator with 12.70mm length and PC pin termination. The product is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the M2T22SA5W13 is based on the following critical parameters that must align for functional compatibility:

Circuit Configuration: DPDT topology is mandatory for equivalent switching behavior.

Switch Function: On-On operation must be maintained.

Mounting Type: Through-hole mounting is required for PCB compatibility.

Actuator Specifications: Standard round actuator with 12.70mm length ensures mechanical fit and panel integration.

Termination Style: PC pin termination is necessary for board-level connection.

Electrical Ratings: Substitute parts must meet or exceed the AC voltage (125V) and AC current (6A) requirements of the original design. DC ratings (4A at 30V) must also be satisfied.

Operating Temperature: The -30°C to 85°C range must be maintained.

Compliance: RoHS3 compliance is required for regulatory alignment.

The E-Switch 100A series toggle switches (100AWDP1T1B4M2QE and 100AWDP1T1B4VS21QE) satisfy these substitution criteria with equivalent DPDT configuration, matching actuator dimensions, identical termination style, and compatible electrical specifications within the allowed parameter envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both E-Switch 100A series parts (100AWDP1T1B4M2QE and 100AWDP1T1B4VS21QE) are suitable substitutes for the obsolete M2T22SA5W13. The E-Switch alternatives are currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, aligning with the regulatory requirements of the original component. Both alternatives provide enhanced electrical life (30,000 cycles versus 25,000 cycles) and IP67 ingress protection, offering improved environmental sealing compared to the original specification.

The AC voltage rating of 120V on the E-Switch parts is 5V lower than the original 125V specification. The AC current rating is reduced from 6A to 5A. These reductions remain within acceptable design margins for most applications operating at standard 120V AC line voltage. DC ratings on the substitute parts (5A at 28V) exceed the original specification (4A at 30V), providing additional DC circuit capacity.

Selection between the two E-Switch variants should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability, as both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E-Switch 100A series parts directly replace the NKK M2T22SA5W13 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both E-Switch alternatives maintain identical DPDT circuit configuration, On-On switch function, through-hole mounting, standard round actuator with 12.70mm length, and PC pin termination. The mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible. The reduced AC voltage and current ratings (120V, 5A versus 125V, 6A) are acceptable for standard 120V AC applications.

Q: What is the difference between 100AWDP1T1B4M2QE and 100AWDP1T1B4VS21QE?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference lies in packaging configuration. 100AWDP1T1B4M2QE is supplied in bulk packaging, while 100AWDP1T1B4VS21QE is also supplied in bulk packaging. Selection should be based on procurement requirements and inventory availability.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both E-Switch 100A series parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the regulatory status of the original M2T22SA5W13.

Q: What is the impact of the lower AC voltage rating on the substitute parts?

A: The E-Switch alternatives are rated for 120V AC compared to the original 125V AC rating. This 5V reduction is acceptable for applications operating at standard 120V AC line voltage. Applications requiring operation above 120V AC should be evaluated against specific circuit requirements.

Q: Do the substitute parts offer any performance improvements?

A: The E-Switch 100A series parts provide 30,000 electrical life cycles compared to 25,000 cycles on the original part, representing a 20% improvement in cycle life. Both alternatives include IP67 ingress protection (dust tight, waterproof), offering enhanced environmental sealing not specified on the original component.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the substitute parts?

A: The E-Switch 100A series maintains the identical operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C, ensuring thermal compatibility with the original design.
