Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the KB02KW01-12-GG is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Indicator Type: The main part uses incandescent technology; substitutes may employ LED technology with equivalent visual output characteristics
• Lamp Color & Lens Appearance: Blue lamp color with diffused lens transparency must be maintained for visual consistency
• Panel Mounting: Round panel cutout shape and mechanical fit requirements must be compatible
• Electrical Ratings: Voltage and current specifications must be suitable for the application circuit
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 and REACH compliance status must be maintained

The substitute part YB02KW01-6G-JB is classified as an equivalent based on matching lamp color (blue), lens transparency (diffused), panel cutout shape (round), and regulatory compliance. The transition from incandescent to LED technology represents a functional upgrade with reduced power consumption and extended operational life.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The KB02KW01-12-GG is obsolete and no longer in active production. The YB02KW01-6G-JB is the designated substitute part, currently in active production status with full ROHS3 and REACH compliance maintained.

Selection of the substitute requires evaluation of the following factors:

• Panel Cutout Compatibility: The substitute part requires a 0.63" (16.00mm) round cutout versus the original 0.48" (12.19mm). Mechanical panel modification may be necessary.
• Electrical Circuit Redesign: The substitute operates at 3.3V with 30mA maximum current, requiring circuit modification from the original 12V AC / 60mA specification.
• Termination Interface: The substitute features Quick Connect - 0.110" (2.8mm) termination, differing from the original part's unspecified termination style.
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring continued regulatory alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the YB02KW01-6G-JB be directly installed in place of the KB02KW01-12-GG without modifications?

A: No. The substitute part has a larger panel cutout dimension (0.63" versus 0.48") and requires different electrical ratings (3.3V versus 12V AC). Panel drilling and circuit redesign are necessary.

Q: What are the key differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The primary differences are technology type (incandescent to LED), voltage rating (12V AC to 3.3V), current consumption (60mA to 30mA maximum), panel cutout size (12.19mm to 16.00mm), and termination style (unspecified to Quick Connect).

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the KB02KW01-12-GG and YB02KW01-6G-JB are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The KB02KW01-12-GG is classified as obsolete. The YB02KW01-6G-JB is the active production equivalent from the same manufacturer, ensuring continued availability and support.

Q: Does the substitute part provide equivalent visual output?

A: Both parts feature blue lamp color with diffused lens transparency and round lens style, providing equivalent visual appearance in panel applications. The LED technology of the substitute provides improved brightness efficiency and extended operational life.

Q: What inventory status should be considered for procurement?

A: The KB02KW01-12-GG has 1098 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The YB02KW01-6G-JB has 701 pieces in stock as new original inventory in bulk packaging.
