Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Z-15GW25-B from Omron Automation and Safety qualifies as a substitute based on the following shared electrical and mechanical parameters:

Circuit configuration match: Both parts are SPDT switches with On-Mom function, enabling equivalent logical switching behavior in applications requiring single-pole double-throw control.

Voltage compatibility: Both switches operate at 125V AC, meeting the primary voltage requirement for AC applications.

Mounting and termination alignment: Both parts feature chassis mount configuration with screw terminal connections, ensuring mechanical and electrical interface compatibility.

Actuator type consideration: The HBS2KCB4ST055C uses a straight lever actuator, while the Z-15GW25-B uses a roller lever actuator. Both are lever-actuated designs suitable for manual operation in chassis-mounted applications.

Compliance alignment: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification, meeting regulatory requirements for equivalent component selection.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HBS2KCB4ST055C and Z-15GW25-B are Active status products with ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific electrical requirements:

For AC applications at 125V with current demands up to 20A, the HBS2KCB4ST055C provides the higher current rating and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C).

For DC applications, the HBS2KCB4ST055C supports 500mA at 125V DC, while the Z-15GW25-B supports 6A at 30V DC maximum. DC voltage and current requirements must be evaluated against each part's specifications.

Environmental protection requirements determine ingress protection suitability: the HBS2KCB4ST055C provides IP65 dust-tight and water-resistant protection, while the Z-15GW25-B provides IP00 protection.

Temperature operating range must align with application environment: the HBS2KCB4ST055C operates from -55°C to 150°C, while the Z-15GW25-B operates from -25°C to 80°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Z-15GW25-B directly replace the HBS2KCB4ST055C in all applications?

A: Direct substitution is limited by electrical and environmental parameters. The Z-15GW25-B has lower AC current rating (15A vs 20A), lower DC voltage rating (30V vs 125V), lower ingress protection (IP00 vs IP65), and narrower operating temperature range (-25°C to 80°C vs -55°C to 150°C). Substitution is valid only when application requirements fall within the Z-15GW25-B specifications.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for these switches?

A: Both switches share SPDT circuit configuration, On-Mom function, 125V AC rating, chassis mount design, screw terminal connections, and ROHS3 compliance. These parameters establish the foundation for substitution consideration. Differences in current ratings, DC voltage, ingress protection, and temperature range must be evaluated against specific application demands.

Q: How do actuator type differences affect substitution?

A: The HBS2KCB4ST055C features a straight lever actuator, while the Z-15GW25-B features a roller lever actuator. Both are lever-actuated designs suitable for manual operation in chassis-mounted applications. Physical space constraints and actuation force requirements in the application must be considered, as actuator geometry and operating force differ between the two designs.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. The HBS2KCB4ST055C has 1140 pieces in stock, while the Z-15GW25-B has 827 pieces in stock. Availability should be confirmed for production requirements.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the HBS2KCB4ST055C and Z-15GW25-B are ROHS3 compliant. The HBS2KCB4ST055C is REACH Affected, while the Z-15GW25-B is REACH Unaffected. Both carry EAR99 ECCN classification and share HTSUS code 8536.50.9040.
