Microwave Magnetron 2M261-M39R (№32)

Genuine Panasonic Microwave Inverter Magnetron 2M261-M39R (Component №32)

The heart of your Panasonic NN-GD692M inverter microwave oven and the industry standard for reliability!

Did your microwave suddenly stop heating, even though the turntable is rotating and the timer is counting down? Don’t rush to buy a brand-new appliance. The primary cause behind a loss of microwave generation is a faulty magnetron.

The original Panasonic 2M261-M39R inverter magnetron (2M261-M39 model line) is the high-tech powerhouse of your microwave oven. It is guaranteed to restore its factory power output, rapid heating speeds, and flawless cooking performance.

Technical Specifications

This assembly is specifically engineered to meet the demanding power management requirements of Panasonic's premium inverter microwave ovens.

• Housing Marking: MAGNETRON 2M261-M39 (R28-0814 0)

• Original Part Number (Part No): 2M261-M39R

• Factory Order Number (Order No): H64P450104

• Schematic Position: №32 (Primary emitter)

• Manufacturer: Panasonic Appliances Microwave Oven (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

• Power Supply Type: inverter (engineered exclusively to operate with an inverter power board, not a standard heavy transformer)

• Design Features:

  • Six mounting holes on each of the two side mounting flanges (12 holes total for rock-solid fixing).

  • The radiator airflow direction and terminal layout are precisely aligned with the ventilation ducting of the NN-GD series.

  • Features a premium metallic mesh gasket surrounding the antenna to eliminate any risk of microwave radiation leakage.

Why Is It Crucial to Buy a Genuine 2M261-M39R?

• Inverter-Specific Technology: inverter magnetrons operate using continuous, smoothly modulated power adjustments—unlike conventional magnetrons that constantly cycle on and off at 100% power. Cheap knockoffs or incorrect alternatives cannot communicate properly with the inverter board, which leads to the immediate burnout of the microwave's expensive power control block.

• Perfect Wave Focusing: the geometry of the original magnetron's antenna and dome cap is calculated down to fractions of a millimeter to match the waveguide of the Panasonic NN-GD692M cavity. This ensures uniform heating without leaving "cold spots" inside your food.

• Overheat Protection: the substantial, perforated aluminum cooling fins (as seen in the reference image 2m261-m39r-magnetron-dlya-svch.webp) guarantee efficient heat dissipation during prolonged operating cycles, such as Combination or Grill modes.

• Health and Safety: only a certified original magnetron guarantees a snug, seamless fit into the factory mount, entirely preventing critical microwave radiation leakage outside the appliance chassis.

Symptoms of a Failing Magnetron (When to Replace):

• The microwave runs, lights up, and spins the tray, but the food remains completely cold.

• A loud, abnormal hum, crackling, or buzzing noise occurs as soon as heating begins.

• Error codes H97 or H98 trip on the display 3 to 5 seconds after starting a cycle (the inverter board's safety mechanism triggered by an open circuit or a magnetron short).

• Visible burn-through on the antenna cap or cracked/damaged magnets on the component's body.

Model Compatibility

This magnetron is the factory baseline component for the flagship model:

• Panasonic NN-GD692M (Inverter Grill Microwave, 31L)

• It is also fully compatible with other Panasonic inverter models of equivalent capacity (GD / SD series) where the manufacturer's parts list specifies component №32 with part number 2M261-M39R.

Important Safety Information! The magnetron is a high-voltage component (CAUTION HIGH VOLTAGE). Replacement must be performed exclusively by a qualified technician adhering strictly to all safety protocols for capacitor discharging and post-assembly microwave leakage testing.
