B23JP-JA Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The B23JP-JA is an NKK Switches toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration, rated for 0.4VA at 28V AC/DC. This through-hole mounted switch features an On-Off-On function with a standard round actuator and non-illuminated design. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align within the allowed specifications for this product category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 200MDP3T2B2M2RE from E-Switch qualifies as an equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: Both parts are DPDT
• Switch function: Both provide On-Off-On operation
• Current rating: Both rated at 0.4VA (AC/DC)
• Mounting type: Both are through-hole mounted
• Termination style: Both use PC Pin termination
• Operating temperature range: Both operate from -30°C to 85°C
• RoHS compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant
• Moisture sensitivity: Both rated MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part operates at a lower voltage rating (20V AC/DC versus 28V AC/DC) and has a reduced electrical life specification (30,000 cycles versus 50,000 cycles). These differences must be evaluated against application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the B23JP-JA and 200MDP3T2B2M2RE are Active status products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification. Selection between these parts depends on application voltage and cycle life requirements. The B23JP-JA supports higher voltage operation (28V versus 20V) and provides extended electrical life (50,000 cycles versus 30,000 cycles). The 200MDP3T2B2M2RE is suitable for applications operating at 20V or lower with cycle life requirements not exceeding 30,000 operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 200MDP3T2B2M2RE replace the B23JP-JA in all applications?

A: The 200MDP3T2B2M2RE is suitable only for applications operating at 20V AC/DC or lower. If your application requires 28V operation, this substitute is not appropriate. Additionally, if your application requires more than 30,000 electrical cycles, the B23JP-JA is the correct choice.

Q: What are the physical differences between these parts?

A: The B23JP-JA has an actuator length of 6.30mm with a cap, while the 200MDP3T2B2M2RE has an actuator length of 5.33mm without a cap. Panel mounting geometry may differ; verify mechanical fit in your application.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bulk packaging and use PC Pin termination for through-hole mounting.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with the same HTSUS code (8536.50.9065).

Q: What is the difference in electrical life between these parts?

A: The B23JP-JA is rated for 50,000 electrical cycles, while the 200MDP3T2B2M2RE is rated for 30,000 cycles. For applications requiring extended operational life, the B23JP-JA provides a higher cycle rating.
