HB16SKW01-5C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HB16SKW01-5C is a pushbutton switch with SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration, rated for 100mA at 30V AC/DC. It features illumination with red LED at 2.1VDC nominal and is designed for panel mount front installation with a circular 8.00mm diameter cutout. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new designs requiring compatible functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the HB16SKW01-5C is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish valid substitutes:

Electrical parameters must match exactly: SPDT circuit, 100mA current rating, 30V AC/DC voltage rating, red LED illumination at 2.1VDC nominal, and solder lug termination.

Mechanical parameters must match exactly: Panel mount front installation, circular 8.00mm diameter panel cutout, and operating temperature range of -25°C to 50°C.

Performance specifications must match or exceed: Mechanical life of 100,000 cycles minimum and electrical life of 50,000 cycles minimum.

The HB16SKW01-5C-AB qualifies as a direct substitute based on these criteria. Differences in actuator type (plunger for cap versus square button) and actuator color do not affect electrical or core mechanical compatibility, as the panel cutout dimensions and mounting interface remain identical.

Mechanical compatibility: Panel mount interface, cutout dimensions, and operating temperature range are identical, ensuring direct installation compatibility without mechanical redesign.

Regulatory compliance: Both parts carry identical REACH and ECCN classifications. The HB16SKW01-5C-AB includes RoHS3 compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Packaging: The HB16SKW01-5C-AB is supplied in tray packaging, suitable for automated assembly and component handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HB16SKW01-5C-AB be used as a direct replacement for the HB16SKW01-5C?

A: Yes. The HB16SKW01-5C-AB meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. Electrical specifications, voltage and current ratings, illumination characteristics, panel cutout dimensions, and operating temperature range are identical. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between the actuator types listed for these parts?

A: The HB16SKW01-5C features a plunger for cap actuator, while the HB16SKW01-5C-AB features a square button actuator. These differences affect only the tactile interface and appearance. The electrical function, circuit configuration, and panel mounting interface remain unchanged.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The HB16SKW01-5C is supplied with standard packaging, while the HB16SKW01-5C-AB is supplied in tray packaging. Tray packaging is optimized for automated assembly processes and component handling. This does not affect the electrical or mechanical performance of the switch.

Q: Does the HB16SKW01-5C-AB meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The HB16SKW01-5C-AB is RoHS3 compliant and carries REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components. The original HB16SKW01-5C is obsolete and does not carry current compliance certifications.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in circuit configuration (SPDT), current rating (100mA AC/DC), voltage rating (30V AC/DC), illumination type and voltage (LED red at 2.1VDC), termination style (solder lug), panel cutout dimensions (8.00mm circular), operating temperature range (-25°C to 50°C), and mechanical/electrical life specifications (100,000 and 50,000 cycles respectively).
