KB16RKG01-CC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KB16RKG01-CC is a pushbutton switch manufactured by NKK Switches, featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration with On-On switch function. This component is rated for 0.4VA at 28V AC/DC and is designed for standard panel mount, front installation with a red rectangular button actuator. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for system maintenance, repair, and redesign applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the KB16RKG01-CC is determined by the following critical parameters:

Circuit and Function Compatibility: The substitute part must maintain SPDT circuit configuration with On-On switch function to preserve electrical behavior in the application.

Electrical Ratings: The substitute must support the application's voltage and current requirements. The KB16RKG01-CC operates at 28V AC/DC with 0.4VA capacity. Substitute parts with higher voltage and current ratings (such as 125V AC / 30V DC at 3A) are electrically compatible for applications requiring the original 28V / 0.4VA specification, as they provide margin above the minimum requirement.

Mechanical Interface: Panel mount, front installation with rectangular button actuator is required. Panel cutout diameter differences (12.30mm original versus 16.00mm substitute) indicate mechanical redesign may be necessary.

Environmental and Compliance: Operating temperature range (-25°C to 70°C), RoHS3 compliance, and REACH unaffected status must be maintained.

Termination Compatibility: The original solder lug termination differs from substitute quick connect options, requiring circuit board or harness modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The YB16RKW01-JB is electrically suitable as a substitute for the KB16RKG01-CC based on the following factors:

Electrical Compatibility: The YB16RKW01-JB exceeds the electrical requirements of the original part. Its 125V AC / 30V DC rating with 3A capacity provides adequate margin above the KB16RKG01-CC specification of 28V / 0.4VA. Both parts maintain identical SPDT On-On circuit function.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Product Availability: The YB16RKW01-JB is active in production with documented inventory availability, whereas the KB16RKG01-CC is obsolete. This ensures long-term supply chain viability for new designs or system replacements.

Mechanical and Termination Considerations: The substitute part features a larger panel cutout diameter (16.00mm versus 12.30mm) and different termination style (quick connect versus solder lug). These differences require mechanical redesign of the panel interface and electrical connection method. The substitute also provides extended mechanical life (200,000 cycles versus 100,000 cycles).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the YB16RKW01-JB directly replace the KB16RKG01-CC without modification?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. However, mechanical redesign is required due to panel cutout diameter difference (16.00mm versus 12.30mm) and termination style change (quick connect versus solder lug). The circuit board or harness must be modified to accommodate these differences.

Q: Are the voltage and current ratings compatible with my application?

A: If your application requires 28V at 0.4VA, the YB16RKW01-JB is electrically compatible. Its 125V AC / 30V DC rating at 3A capacity exceeds the original specification, providing operational margin. Verify that your circuit design can accommodate the higher rated capacity without adverse effects.

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

A: The KB16RKG01-CC is rated for 100,000 mechanical cycles, while the YB16RKW01-JB is rated for 200,000 mechanical cycles. The substitute offers extended durability for high-cycle applications.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the KB16RKG01-CC and YB16RKW01-JB are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic components.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to the substitute part?

A: The YB16RKW01-JB is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the original part packaging specification was not provided. Verify bulk packaging compatibility with your procurement and assembly processes.
