Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the KB16RKW01-5C-JC is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Voltage rating (125V AC minimum, 30V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Front)
• Illumination type and color (LED, Red)
• Illumination voltage (1.9VDC nominal)
• Operating temperature range (-25°C to 50°C)
• RoHS compliance status

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Current rating (may exceed 1A specification)
• Mechanical and electrical life cycles (may exceed minimum values)
• Termination style (alternative connection methods acceptable)
• Panel cutout diameter (physical accommodation required)
• Product status (active products acceptable for obsolete components)

The YB16RKW01-5C-JC meets all mandatory compatibility criteria while providing enhanced electrical performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The YB16RKW01-5C-JC is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete KB16RKW01-5C-JC. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications for voltage and illumination parameters, ensuring circuit compatibility. The substitute part offers superior performance characteristics with 3A current rating versus 1A, and doubled mechanical and electrical life cycles.

Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, satisfying regulatory and environmental requirements. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Physical integration requires accommodation of the larger 16.00mm panel cutout diameter compared to the original 12.30mm specification. Termination compatibility differs between solder lug and quick connect options; circuit board layout and connector specifications must be evaluated for integration feasibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the YB16RKW01-5C-JC directly replace the KB16RKW01-5C-JC in existing applications?

A: Electrical and functional compatibility is confirmed. Physical integration requires verification of panel cutout diameter accommodation (16.00mm versus 12.30mm) and termination style compatibility (quick connect versus solder lug).

Q: What are the key differences between these two components?

A: The substitute part provides higher current rating (3A versus 1A), extended mechanical life (200,000 versus 100,000 cycles), and extended electrical life (100,000 versus 50,000 cycles). Panel cutout diameter and termination style differ between the two models.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Both KB16RKW01-5C-JC and YB16RKW01-5C-JC are ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating.

Q: What is the impact of the larger panel cutout diameter on substitution?

A: The YB16RKW01-5C-JC requires a 16.00mm circular panel cutout versus 12.30mm for the original part. Existing panel mounting holes must be enlarged or new panels fabricated to accommodate the substitute component.

Q: Are the illumination specifications identical?

A: Both components feature red LED illumination at 1.9VDC nominal voltage, ensuring identical illumination performance in circuit applications.

Q: What termination options are available?

A: The KB16RKW01-5C-JC uses solder lug termination. The YB16RKW01-5C-JC provides solder and quick connect 0.110" (2.8mm) termination options, offering flexibility for different circuit board designs.
