Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The YB15CKW01-5C-JC qualifies as a substitute for the KB15CKW01-5C-CC based on the following electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT
• Switch function: On-Mom (Momentary)
• Voltage rating - AC: 125V
• Voltage rating - DC: 30V
• Mounting type: Panel Mount, Front
• Actuator type: Round Button
• Illumination type and color: LED, Red
• Illumination voltage: 1.9V DC (Nominal)
• Operating temperature range: -25°C to 50°C
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

Substitution Basis: The YB15CKW01-5C-JC maintains electrical equivalence through identical voltage ratings, circuit topology, and illumination specifications. Both components support the same operating temperature envelope and regulatory compliance framework. The substitute part is suitable for applications requiring SPDT momentary switching with red LED indication at the specified voltage levels.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Electrical Compatibility: The YB15CKW01-5C-JC maintains full electrical equivalence with the KB15CKW01-5C-CC across all critical parameters: SPDT circuit topology, 125V AC / 30V DC voltage ratings, momentary switch function, and red LED illumination at 1.9V DC. Both components operate within the identical temperature range of -25°C to 50°C.

Current Rating Consideration: The substitute part provides a higher current rating of 3A compared to the original 1A specification. This represents an increase in electrical capacity and does not create incompatibility with applications designed for the original 1A rating.

Mechanical and Life Cycle Differences: The YB15CKW01-5C-JC offers extended mechanical life (1,000,000 cycles versus 100,000 cycles) and electrical life (100,000 cycles versus 50,000 cycles). The substitute features stainless steel construction and improved durability characteristics.

Installation Considerations: The panel cutout diameter differs between parts: 12.30mm for the original versus 16.00mm for the substitute. Panel modifications may be required for physical installation. Termination style differs (Solder Lug versus Solder with Quick Connect option), requiring circuit board layout assessment.

Regulatory and Compliance Status: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The substitute part is currently active in production, ensuring long-term availability compared to the obsolete original.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the YB15CKW01-5C-JC directly replace the KB15CKW01-5C-CC without circuit modifications?

A: Electrical substitution is valid based on matching SPDT circuit configuration, voltage ratings (125V AC / 30V DC), and illumination specifications (LED, Red, 1.9V DC). However, physical installation requires panel cutout modification from 12.30mm to 16.00mm diameter, and termination style differs (Solder Lug to Solder/Quick Connect), necessitating circuit board layout assessment.

Q: What is the significance of the higher current rating (3A versus 1A) on the substitute part?

A: The substitute part's 3A current rating represents increased electrical capacity. Applications designed for 1A operation remain fully compatible, as the substitute can safely handle lower current loads. No circuit redesign is required from a current perspective.

Q: Are there mechanical life cycle implications for using the substitute part?

A: The YB15CKW01-5C-JC provides 1,000,000 mechanical cycles compared to 100,000 cycles on the original, and 100,000 electrical cycles versus 50,000 cycles. This represents improved durability and extended component life expectancy in the application.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The KB15CKW01-5C-CC is supplied without specified packaging notation, while the YB15CKW01-5C-JC is packaged in Tray format. Procurement and handling procedures may differ accordingly.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory requirements?

A: Both the KB15CKW01-5C-CC and YB15CKW01-5C-JC maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.
