KB15CKG01-5C-JC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KB15CKG01-5C-JC is a pushbutton switch manufactured by NKK Switches, featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration with 0.4VA current rating at 28V. The switch includes LED illumination (red) and is designed for panel mount, front installation with solder lug termination. This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The YB15CKG01-5C-JC qualifies as a functional substitute based on the following matching parameters:

• SPDT circuit configuration
• 0.4VA current rating (AC/DC)
• 28V voltage rating (AC/DC)
• Panel mount, front installation capability
• Round button actuator with clear red filter/diffuser
• Red LED illumination at 1.9VDC nominal
• Operating temperature range of -25°C to 50°C
• ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

Substitution is valid where these core electrical and mechanical parameters satisfy the application requirements. Differences in mechanical life rating, panel cutout dimensions, and termination style must be evaluated against specific installation constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The YB15CKG01-5C-JC is an active product substitute for the obsolete KB15CKG01-5C-JC. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for equivalent applications.

Selection of YB15CKG01-5C-JC is supported by:

• Active product status ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability
• Identical electrical specifications (SPDT, 0.4VA, 28V AC/DC)
• Matching illumination characteristics (red LED, 1.9VDC)
• Enhanced mechanical life rating (1,000,000 cycles versus 100,000 cycles)
• Equivalent environmental operating range (-25°C to 50°C)

Installation considerations require evaluation of panel cutout diameter differences (12.30mm versus 16.00mm) and termination style compatibility (solder lug versus solder/quick connect). Stainless steel construction in the YB series provides additional corrosion resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can YB15CKG01-5C-JC directly replace KB15CKG01-5C-JC in existing assemblies?

A: Electrical compatibility is confirmed across SPDT circuit, 0.4VA current rating, and 28V voltage specifications. Physical installation requires verification of panel cutout dimensions (KB series: 12.30mm diameter; YB series: 16.00mm diameter) and termination method compatibility (KB: solder lug; YB: solder/quick connect 0.110").

Q: What are the key differences between these two models?

A: Primary differences include product status (KB obsolete, YB active), mechanical life rating (KB 100,000 cycles, YB 1,000,000 cycles), panel cutout diameter, termination style, and stainless steel construction in the YB series. Electrical and illumination specifications are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both KB15CKG01-5C-JC and YB15CKG01-5C-JC are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: YB15CKG01-5C-JC is the appropriate selection for new designs due to active product status, enhanced mechanical life rating, and continued manufacturer support.

Q: What is the impact of different panel cutout dimensions?

A: Panel cutout diameter differs between models (KB: 12.30mm; YB: 16.00mm). Installation requires either panel modification or selection of a mounting bracket compatible with the 16.00mm diameter specification of the YB series.
