Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the KB15CKG01-CC is determined by the following critical parameters:

Circuit Configuration Match: The substitute part must maintain SPDT circuit topology to preserve switching logic in the application.

Switch Function Match: On-Mom (momentary) operation must be preserved to ensure identical user interaction and control behavior.

Mounting Compatibility: Panel mount, front-facing installation must be maintained for mechanical fit within existing enclosures.

Actuator Specifications: Round button actuator with red coloring ensures consistent user interface and operational consistency.

Electrical Performance Envelope: The substitute must operate within or exceed the voltage and current ratings of the original part. The KB15CKG01-CC operates at 0.4VA at 28V; substitute parts must support these electrical parameters or higher ratings to ensure safe operation.

Environmental Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status must be maintained for regulatory adherence.

The identified substitute LP0115CCKW01C satisfies these core substitution criteria while offering enhanced electrical performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LP0115CCKW01C serves as a functional substitute for the obsolete KB15CKG01-CC based on the following engineering criteria:

Circuit and Function Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical SPDT circuit topology and On-Mom switch function, ensuring control logic compatibility.

Electrical Performance: The LP0115CCKW01C is rated for 3A at 125V AC and 30V DC, exceeding the original part's 0.4VA at 28V specification. This higher rating ensures the substitute can safely handle the electrical demands of applications originally designed for the KB15CKG01-CC.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining regulatory requirements for the application.

Active Production Status: The LP0115CCKW01C is currently in active production with 798 pieces in stock, ensuring long-term availability compared to the obsolete KB15CKG01-CC.

Physical Integration Considerations: The substitute requires a larger panel cutout (16.00mm diameter versus 12.30mm diameter) and features different termination options (Solder and Quick Connect versus Solder Lug). These differences necessitate mechanical panel modifications and electrical connection redesign during implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LP0115CCKW01C directly replace the KB15CKG01-CC without modifications?

A: The LP0115CCKW01C provides functional electrical equivalence but requires mechanical and electrical modifications. The larger panel cutout diameter (16.00mm versus 12.30mm) requires panel modification. The different termination style (Solder/Quick Connect versus Solder Lug) requires wiring reconfiguration.

Q: What are the key electrical differences between these parts?

A: The LP0115CCKW01C is rated for higher current (3A versus 0.4VA) and higher AC voltage (125V versus 28V). Both maintain 28V-30V DC compatibility. The substitute's higher ratings make it suitable for applications originally designed for the KB15CKG01-CC.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification concerns with substitution?

A: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. No compliance barriers exist for substitution from a regulatory standpoint.

Q: What is the impact of the different mechanical life ratings?

A: The LP0115CCKW01C offers 500,000 mechanical cycles compared to the KB15CKG01-CC's 100,000 cycles, providing extended operational life. The substitute's lower electrical life rating (50,000 versus 100,000 cycles) should be evaluated against specific application duty cycles.

Q: What termination modifications are required?

A: The KB15CKG01-CC uses Solder Lug termination, while the LP0115CCKW01C offers Solder and Quick Connect (0.110" / 2.8mm) options. Wiring connections must be adapted to the substitute's termination configuration.

Q: Is the LP0115CCKW01C available for immediate use?

A: Yes, the LP0115CCKW01C is in active production status with 798 pieces currently in stock, ensuring availability for new designs and replacement applications.
