M2018TXW13-GA - NKK Switches

M2018TXW13-GA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended torque for mounting the switch?
  The recommended torque for mounting the M2018TXW13-GA switch is 0.5 N·m to 1.5 N·m (0.36 lbf·in to 1.07 lbf·in) to ensure proper seating and prevent damage to the switch or PCB.
• Is the switch compatible with washable or waterproof applications?
  The M2018TXW13-GA switch is not designed for washable or waterproof applications. It has an IP40 rating, which means it provides protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm, but it is not sealed against water or moisture. For washable or waterproof applications, consider using a switch with a higher IP rating, such as IP67 or IP69K.
• What is the expected lifespan of the switch?
  The expected lifespan of the M2018TXW13-GA switch is 100,000 to 200,000 cycles, depending on the operating conditions and usage. However, this can vary depending on factors such as the quality of the switch, the environment it is used in, and the maintenance and handling of the switch.
• Can the switch be used in high-temperature applications?
  The M2018TXW13-GA switch is rated for operation in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 85°C (-4°F to 185°F). While it can tolerate some high-temperature exposure, it is not designed for extreme high-temperature applications. If you need a switch for high-temperature applications, consider using a switch with a higher temperature rating, such as 125°C (257°F) or higher.
• Is the switch RoHS and REACH compliant?
  Yes, the M2018TXW13-GA switch is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) compliant, meaning it meets the European Union's regulations for the restriction of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
