KB02KW01-6G-JB LED Panel Indicator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KB02KW01-6G-JB is an LED panel indicator manufactured by NKK Switches, designed as an illuminated pushbutton with blue LED and white clear lens. This component operates at 3.3V with a maximum current of 30mA and features a round panel cutout of 0.48" (12.19mm) diameter. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations where this component is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the KB02KW01-6G-JB is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Voltage rating (3.3V) and maximum current (30mA) must match or exceed the original specification to ensure proper LED operation and circuit protection.

Mechanical Compatibility: Panel cutout shape (round) and dimensions (0.48" / 12.19mm) establish the physical mounting interface. Substitute parts must fit the existing panel aperture without modification.

Optical Characteristics: Lamp color (blue) and lens transparency (clear) define the visual output. The lens color and style (round with flat top) contribute to the aesthetic and functional appearance.

Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status ensure the substitute meets current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions applicable to the original part.

The YB02KW01-6G-JB qualifies as a substitute based on matching electrical ratings (3.3V, 30mA), identical lamp color (blue), and equivalent regulatory compliance. However, mechanical differences exist that require evaluation for specific applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The YB02KW01-6G-JB is an active product from NKK Switches with identical electrical specifications (3.3V, 30mA) and equivalent regulatory compliance (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected) to the obsolete KB02KW01-6G-JB.

Mechanical Considerations: The substitute features a larger panel cutout diameter (0.63" / 16.00mm versus 0.48" / 12.19mm) and larger lens diameter (16.00mm versus 11.60mm). Direct panel mounting without modification is not possible in applications designed for the original KB02 series cutout dimensions.

Optical Differences: The YB02KW01-6G-JB has a blue lens with diffused transparency, whereas the KB02KW01-6G-JB has a white lens with clear transparency. This results in different visual appearance and light diffusion characteristics.

Termination: The YB02KW01-6G-JB includes quick connect termination (0.110" / 2.8mm), which may differ from the original part's connection method.

Selection of the YB02KW01-6G-JB as a substitute is appropriate only when panel cutout modification is feasible or when the larger form factor and diffused optical characteristics are acceptable for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the YB02KW01-6G-JB be used as a direct replacement for the KB02KW01-6G-JB without panel modification?

A: No. The YB02KW01-6G-JB requires a larger panel cutout (0.63" / 16.00mm diameter) compared to the KB02KW01-6G-JB (0.48" / 12.19mm diameter). Panel modification is necessary for installation.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts operate at 3.3V with a maximum current rating of 30mA, ensuring electrical compatibility in the circuit.

Q: What is the difference in optical appearance between these parts?

A: The KB02KW01-6G-JB has a white clear lens, while the YB02KW01-6G-JB has a blue diffused lens. The KB02 produces a brighter, more focused blue light, while the YB02 produces a softer, more diffused blue appearance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the KB02KW01-6G-JB and YB02KW01-6G-JB are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance regulations.

Q: What is the significance of the KB02KW01-6G-JB being obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured by NKK Switches. The YB02KW01-6G-JB is an active product, making it available for new procurement and long-term supply assurance.

Q: Does the YB02KW01-6G-JB have different termination compared to the KB02KW01-6G-JB?

A: The YB02KW01-6G-JB features quick connect termination (0.110" / 2.8mm). The KB02KW01-6G-JB termination style is not specified in the available data. Verify the original part's connection method before substitution.
