Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the KB15CKG01-6F-JB is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-Mom momentary operation)
• Electrical ratings (0.4VA at 28V AC/DC)
• Illumination type and color (LED, Green)
• Illumination voltage (3.3VDC nominal)
• Actuator type (Round button)
• Mounting configuration (Panel mount, front)
• Operating temperature range (-25°C to 50°C)

Allowable Variations:

• Termination style (Solder Lug vs. Quick Connect - 0.110")
• Panel cutout diameter (12.30mm vs. 16.00mm)
• Mechanical life rating (100,000 vs. 1,000,000 cycles)
• Product status (Obsolete vs. Active)
• Stainless steel construction (optional feature)

The YB15CKG01-6F-JB qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and functional specifications, with enhanced mechanical durability and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The YB15CKG01-6F-JB is the qualified substitute for KB15CKG01-6F-JB applications. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications, circuit configuration, and illumination characteristics required for direct functional replacement.

Selection Basis:

The YB15CKG01-6F-JB offers active product status with current manufacturing support, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

Implementation Considerations:

Panel cutout diameter differs between the two models (12.30mm vs. 16.00mm). Mechanical panel modifications may be required if the YB15CKG01-6F-JB is installed in existing enclosures designed for KB15CKG01-6F-JB. Termination style variation (Solder Lug vs. Quick Connect) requires verification of circuit board or harness compatibility.

The YB15CKG01-6F-JB provides enhanced mechanical life rating (1,000,000 cycles vs. 100,000 cycles), offering improved durability for high-cycle applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can YB15CKG01-6F-JB replace KB15CKG01-6F-JB in existing designs?

A: Yes, electrical and functional specifications are identical. Panel cutout diameter and termination style must be verified for mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing installations.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two models?

A: The YB15CKG01-6F-JB features active product status, enhanced mechanical life (1,000,000 vs. 100,000 cycles), stainless steel construction, and alternative termination options. Electrical ratings and illumination characteristics remain identical.

Q: Does the panel cutout diameter difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. The cutout diameter is a mechanical specification for panel mounting only. Electrical performance is unaffected by this variation.

Q: Are both components RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both KB15CKG01-6F-JB and YB15CKG01-6F-JB are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Which termination style should I select?

A: Selection depends on circuit board design and harness configuration. Solder Lug termination (KB15CKG01-6F-JB) requires direct soldering to PCB pads. Quick Connect - 0.110" (YB15CKG01-6F-JB) accommodates standard 0.110" spade connectors for harness integration.

Q: Is the YB15CKG01-6F-JB suitable for high-cycle applications?

A: Yes. The YB15CKG01-6F-JB mechanical life rating of 1,000,000 cycles supports extended-duty applications compared to the KB15CKG01-6F-JB 100,000-cycle specification.
