Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the KB05KW01-6B-JB is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Voltage rating (3.6V) and current rating (30mA) must match or exceed the original specification
• Optical Properties: Lamp color (white) and lens color (white) must be identical
• Mechanical Fit: Panel cutout shape (round) and cutout dimensions must accommodate the substitute without modification
• Lens Characteristics: Lens size and style determine visual appearance and light distribution
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and MSL rating must be maintained

The YB05KW01-6B-JB qualifies as a substitute based on matching electrical ratings (3.6V, 30mA), identical lamp and lens colors (white), and equivalent RoHS3 compliance. However, mechanical differences exist in panel cutout dimensions and termination style, which must be evaluated for specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The YB05KW01-6B-JB is electrically and optically compatible with the KB05KW01-6B-JB, with both components meeting ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings. Both parts are manufactured by NKK Switches and maintain identical voltage and current specifications.

Substitution feasibility depends on mechanical accommodation within the target application. The YB05KW01-6B-JB features a larger panel cutout diameter (0.63" vs. 0.48") and increased lens diameter (15.00mm vs. 11.60mm), requiring panel modification or redesign if the original cutout dimensions are fixed. The lens transparency differs (diffused vs. clear), which affects light distribution characteristics.

The YB05KW01-6B-JB is currently in active production status, ensuring availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete KB05KW01-6B-JB.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the YB05KW01-6B-JB directly replace the KB05KW01-6B-JB without panel modification?

A: Direct replacement without modification is not possible due to different panel cutout dimensions (0.48" vs. 0.63") and lens diameters (11.60mm vs. 15.00mm). Panel cutout enlargement or adapter mounting may be required.

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

A: Yes. Both components operate at 3.6V with a maximum current rating of 30mA, ensuring electrical compatibility in circuit design.

Q: What is the difference between clear and diffused lens transparency?

A: Clear lenses provide direct light transmission with minimal scattering, while diffused lenses scatter light across a wider viewing angle. This affects the visual appearance and brightness distribution of the indicator.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the KB05KW01-6B-JB and YB05KW01-6B-JB are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, meeting current environmental and moisture sensitivity requirements.

Q: What is the availability status of these components?

A: The KB05KW01-6B-JB is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (1104 pcs). The YB05KW01-6B-JB is in active production with current inventory of 1062 pcs, providing reliable long-term availability.

Q: Are there termination style differences between these parts?

A: The KB05KW01-6B-JB termination style is not specified in available documentation. The YB05KW01-6B-JB features Quick Connect termination with 0.110" (2.8mm) connectors, which may require wiring harness adaptation.
