HBS2KCF5ST055C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HBS2KCF5ST055C is an SPDT snap action switch manufactured by C&K, designed for chassis mount applications with screw terminal connections. This switch is rated for 1A at 125V AC and 30V DC, featuring a straight lever actuator and IP65 ingress protection. The product is currently active and ROHS3 compliant. Equivalent and substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, application-specific performance requirements, or end-of-life considerations for the primary component.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HBS2KCF5ST055C is evaluated based on the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Both main and substitute parts must maintain SPDT topology to preserve switching logic
• Switch Function: On-Mom operation must be preserved for application compatibility
• Voltage Ratings: AC voltage rating of 125V is mandatory; DC rating of 30V establishes minimum compatibility threshold
• Current Rating: The substitute must support the application's current requirements; higher ratings provide operational margin
• Mounting Type: Chassis mount configuration must be maintained for mechanical fit
• Termination Style: Screw terminal connections ensure compatibility with existing wiring infrastructure
• Operating Temperature Range: The substitute must cover the application's thermal operating window
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance is required for modern applications

The Z-15GW25-B from Omron Automation and Safety qualifies as a substitute based on matching SPDT circuit configuration, On-Mom function, 125V AC rating, 30V DC rating, chassis mount design, and screw terminal termination. The substitute provides enhanced current capacity (15A AC / 6A DC) and extended mechanical life specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HBS2KCF5ST055C and Z-15GW25-B are active products with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment for current applications. The HBS2KCF5ST055C maintains a wider operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C), making it suitable for extreme thermal environments. The Z-15GW25-B provides higher current capacity and documented mechanical life specifications (10,000,000 cycles), offering enhanced performance margin for high-cycle applications within its operating temperature window (-25°C to 80°C).

Selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements: prioritize the HBS2KCF5ST055C for extended temperature operation; prioritize the Z-15GW25-B for applications requiring higher current capacity or documented mechanical life assurance within standard temperature ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Z-15GW25-B directly replace the HBS2KCF5ST055C in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible when the application operates within the Z-15GW25-B's temperature range (-25°C to 80°C) and does not require the HBS2KCF5ST055C's extended low-temperature capability (-55°C). Both parts share identical SPDT circuit configuration, On-Mom function, 125V AC rating, 30V DC rating, chassis mount design, and screw terminal termination.

Q: What are the key differences between these switches?

A: The primary differences are current capacity (HBS2KCF5ST055C: 1A AC/DC; Z-15GW25-B: 15A AC / 6A DC), operating temperature range (HBS2KCF5ST055C: -55°C to 150°C; Z-15GW25-B: -25°C to 80°C), actuator design (straight lever vs. roller lever), and documented mechanical life (Z-15GW25-B: 10,000,000 cycles).

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the HBS2KCF5ST055C and Z-15GW25-B are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: Does the roller actuator on the Z-15GW25-B affect mechanical compatibility?

A: The roller actuator design on the Z-15GW25-B differs from the straight lever on the HBS2KCF5ST055C. Physical clearance and actuation geometry must be evaluated for the specific mechanical installation environment.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Inventory availability should be confirmed with the component supplier for procurement planning.
