Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the KB16MKG01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Electrical ratings (0.4VA at 28V AC/DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Snap-In)
• Actuator type (Plunger for Cap)
• Operating temperature range (-25°C to 70°C)
• RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)

The YB16MKG01 meets all core electrical and mechanical requirements for substitution. However, differences exist in termination style, panel cutout dimensions, mechanical life rating, and product status that must be evaluated for specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The YB16MKG01 is the primary substitute for the obsolete KB16MKG01. Both components are manufactured by NKK Switches and share identical electrical specifications, circuit configuration, and operating parameters. The YB16MKG01 holds Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support.

Key considerations for selection:

The YB16MKG01 features an extended mechanical life rating of 200,000 cycles compared to 100,000 cycles for the KB16MKG01, providing enhanced durability for high-cycle applications.

The YB16MKG01 incorporates Quick Connect termination (0.110" / 2.8mm) in addition to solder termination, offering greater installation flexibility compared to the solder lug-only termination of the KB16MKG01.

The YB16MKG01 requires a larger panel cutout diameter of 16.00mm compared to 12.30mm for the KB16MKG01. Panel modifications may be necessary for direct mechanical substitution.

Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical voltage and current ratings, ensuring electrical compatibility in 28V AC/DC applications rated for 0.4VA.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the YB16MKG01 directly replace the KB16MKG01 in existing designs?

A: Electrical substitution is direct. The YB16MKG01 matches all electrical specifications and circuit configuration. Mechanical substitution requires evaluation of panel cutout dimensions. The KB16MKG01 requires a 12.30mm circular cutout, while the YB16MKG01 requires a 16.00mm circular cutout. Panel modification or adapter solutions may be necessary.

Q: What are the termination differences between these parts?

A: The KB16MKG01 uses solder lug termination exclusively. The YB16MKG01 provides both solder and Quick Connect 0.110" (2.8mm) termination options, offering greater installation flexibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the KB16MKG01 and YB16MKG01 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the difference in mechanical life between these switches?

A: The KB16MKG01 is rated for 100,000 mechanical cycles. The YB16MKG01 is rated for 200,000 mechanical cycles, providing double the mechanical durability for high-cycle switching applications.

Q: Why is the KB16MKG01 obsolete?

A: The KB16MKG01 is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The YB16MKG01 represents the active product line continuation with enhanced specifications and ongoing supply availability.
