JB15LPE-BH Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The JB15LPE-BH is an illuminated tactile switch manufactured by NKK Switches, designed for applications requiring momentary contact switching at 24VDC with 0.05A contact rating. This SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) switch features a square button actuator with yellow LED illumination and IP67 ingress protection, making it suitable for sealed enclosure applications. The part is currently Active in production status with 687 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and compliance certifications align with the original specification, enabling procurement flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the JB15LPE-BH is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Circuit configuration (SPST-NO), contact rating (0.05A @ 24VDC), and switch function (Off-Mom) must be identical
• Mechanical Compatibility: Mounting type (Through Hole), actuator orientation (Top Actuated), and termination style (PC Pin) must match
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status are mandatory for regulatory alignment
• Operational Envelope: Operating temperature range and mechanical life specifications must support the intended application

The FSM102 manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches meets the core electrical and mechanical requirements for substitution, with the exception of illumination capability and ingress protection rating, which represent functional differences rather than incompatibilities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the JB15LPE-BH and FSM102 are Active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for current applications. The JB15LPE-BH is recommended for applications requiring illuminated feedback, sealed enclosure operation (IP67), and extended mechanical life (5,000,000 cycles). The FSM102 is suitable for applications where illumination is not required and where the extended operating temperature range (-35°C ~ 85°C) provides operational advantage over the JB15LPE-BH's -25°C ~ 70°C range. Physical footprint differences (10mm vs. 12mm outline) and mechanical life variance (5M vs. 100K cycles) must be evaluated against specific application requirements before substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FSM102 directly replace JB15LPE-BH in existing designs?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed for SPST-NO momentary switching at 0.05A @ 24VDC with Through Hole mounting. However, the FSM102 lacks illumination capability and specified ingress protection. PCB layout modifications may be required due to outline dimension differences (10mm vs. 12mm) and actuator height variance (11.20mm vs. 12.00mm).

Q: What are the key differences in mechanical performance?

A: The JB15LPE-BH provides 5,000,000 mechanical cycles versus FSM102's 100,000 cycles. Operating force differs by 16gf (176gf vs. 160gf), and switch travel varies by 0.05mm (0.25mm vs. 0.30mm). These differences may affect tactile feedback and long-term reliability in high-cycle applications.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulations?

A: Yes. Both JB15LPE-BH and FSM102 are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these parts?

A: JB15LPE-BH is supplied in Box packaging with 687 units in stock. FSM102 is supplied in Bulk packaging with 13,359 units in stock. Packaging format may affect procurement lead times and inventory management strategies.

Q: Does the FSM102 support the same operating temperature range?

A: No. FSM102 operates across -35°C ~ 85°C, which exceeds the JB15LPE-BH's -25°C ~ 70°C range. For applications requiring operation below -25°C or above 70°C, FSM102 provides extended environmental capability.
