M2T29TXA13 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The M2T29TXA13 is a rocker switch manufactured by NKK Switches, configured as a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) switch with On-Off-Mom functionality. This through-hole mounted component is rated for 6A AC at 125V and 4A DC at 30V, designed for applications requiring sealed switching with mechanical durability. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where legacy compatibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M2T29TXA13 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: DPDT topology must be maintained
• Switch Function: On-Off-Mom operation required
• Current and Voltage Ratings: Must meet or exceed 6A AC / 125V and 4A DC / 30V specifications
• Mounting Type: Through-hole configuration for PCB compatibility
• Termination Style: PC pin termination for direct board integration
• Operating Temperature Range: -30°C to 85°C operational envelope
• Mechanical and Electrical Life: 50,000 mechanical cycles and 25,000 electrical cycles minimum
• Regulatory Compliance: CSA and UL approvals required

The M2029TXA13 qualifies as a direct substitute based on manufacturer lineage within the NKK Switches product family and compatibility across these defined parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M2029TXA13 is the primary equivalent for the obsolete M2T29TXA13. Both components share identical electrical specifications, mechanical characteristics, and regulatory certifications (CSA, UL). The M2029TXA13 maintains active product status with NKK Switches, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both parts comply with ROHS3 requirements and carry equivalent moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Selection of the M2029TXA13 as a replacement is supported by full parameter alignment across all critical switching characteristics, thermal operating range, and lifecycle ratings. The active status of the substitute part provides superior long-term procurement viability compared to the obsolete original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the M2029TXA13 directly replace the M2T29TXA13 in existing designs?

A: Yes.
