Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the KB02KW01-6B-JB is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Electrical specifications: Voltage (3.6V) and current rating (30mA) must match exactly
• Optical properties: Lamp color (white) and lens color (white) must be identical
• Mechanical compatibility: Panel cutout shape (round) and dimensions must accommodate the replacement component
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS3 compliance status must be maintained

The YB02KW01-6B-JB qualifies as a substitute based on matching electrical ratings (3.6V, 30mA), identical lamp and lens colors (white), round panel cutout geometry, and equivalent RoHS3 compliance. Differences in lens transparency (clear vs. diffused), panel cutout dimensions (0.48" vs. 0.63"), lens diameter (11.60mm vs. 16.00mm), and termination style (standard vs. quick connect) represent design variations that may require mechanical or electrical interface evaluation during implementation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The YB02KW01-6B-JB is an active product with equivalent electrical specifications and regulatory compliance to the obsolete KB02KW01-6B-JB. Selection of this substitute requires evaluation of mechanical interface compatibility, specifically panel cutout dimensions (0.48" vs. 0.63") and lens diameter (11.60mm vs. 16.00mm). The diffused lens transparency of the YB02KW01-6B-JB differs from the clear lens of the original part, which may affect light distribution characteristics in the application. Termination style differences (quick connect vs. standard) must be assessed for circuit board integration feasibility. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring regulatory continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the YB02KW01-6B-JB directly replace the KB02KW01-6B-JB without modification?

A: Electrical compatibility is confirmed (3.6V, 30mA, white LED, white lens). Mechanical compatibility requires verification of panel cutout dimensions and lens diameter differences. The larger cutout (0.63" vs. 0.48") and lens diameter (16.00mm vs. 11.60mm) may necessitate panel modifications or mechanical adapter design.

Q: What is the significance of the lens transparency difference (clear vs. diffused)?

A: Lens transparency affects light distribution and intensity perception. Clear lenses provide focused, directional light output, while diffused lenses scatter light over a wider viewing angle. Application-specific visibility requirements determine acceptability of this substitution.

Q: Are there regulatory or compliance concerns with this substitution?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. No regulatory barriers exist for substitution from a compliance standpoint.

Q: What is the impact of the quick connect termination on the YB02KW01-6B-JB?

A: Quick connect termination (0.110" / 2.8mm) differs from the unspecified termination of the original part. Circuit board connection method and connector compatibility must be evaluated during implementation.

Q: Is the YB02KW01-6B-JB suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. The YB02KW01-6B-JB is an active product with current manufacturing status, making it suitable for new designs. Mechanical and optical characteristics must align with application requirements.
