JB15HBPG Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The JB15HBPG is a tactile switch manufactured by NKK Switches, classified as SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) with a contact rating of 0.125A at 24VDC. This illuminated switch features a top-actuated plunger design with blue LED illumination and is housed in a 10.00mm x 10.00mm outline. The part is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making identification of equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical characteristics, and environmental ratings to ensure direct compatibility in existing circuit designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the JB15HBPG is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Circuit configuration (SPST-NO), switch function (Off-Mom), and contact rating (0.125A @ 24VDC) must be identical
• Mechanical Compatibility: Actuator type (Plunger for Cap), mounting type (Through Hole), actuator orientation (Top Actuated), termination style (PC Pin), and physical outline (10.00mm x 10.00mm) must match exactly
• Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature range (-25°C to 70°C), ingress protection (IP67), switch travel (0.30mm), and mechanical life (1,000,000 cycles) must be maintained
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating must be preserved

The JB15HBPF qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. The only difference is the LED illumination color (green instead of blue) and packaging format (Tray instead of bulk), neither of which affects electrical or mechanical functionality in applications where the switch operates within the specified parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The JB15HBPF is a qualified substitute for the discontinued JB15HBPG. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including contact rating, actuator characteristics, environmental protection, and regulatory compliance. The JB15HBPF offers the additional advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The difference in LED illumination color (green vs. blue) should be evaluated based on application-specific visual indication requirements. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, confirming suitability for standard manufacturing and storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can JB15HBPF be used as a direct replacement for JB15HBPG in existing designs?

A: Yes, the JB15HBPF is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the JB15HBPG. Both parts share identical circuit configuration (SPST-NO), contact rating (0.125A @ 24VDC), mechanical characteristics (265gf operating force, 0.30mm travel), and environmental specifications (IP67, -25°C to 70°C operating range). The only functional difference is LED color (green vs. blue), which does not affect electrical operation.

Q: What is the significance of the LED color difference between JB15HBPG and JB15HBPF?

A: The LED color difference (blue for JB15HBPG, green for JB15HBPF) is a visual indicator distinction only. Both LEDs operate at the same nominal voltage (2.1 VDC) and do not affect the switch's electrical performance or circuit compatibility. Selection should be based on application-specific visual indication requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes, JB15HBPG is supplied in bulk packaging, while JB15HBPF is supplied in Tray packaging. This difference affects order quantities and handling but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Why is JB15HBPG discontinued?

A: The JB15HBPG is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. The JB15HBPF remains in active production status, providing continued availability for applications requiring this switch specification.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes, both JB15HBPG and JB15HBPF are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, confirming equivalent compliance status for manufacturing and storage requirements.
