KB16SKG01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KB16SKG01 is a pushbutton switch manufactured by NKK Switches, featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration with 0.4VA current rating at 28V AC/DC. This component is designed for panel mount, front installation applications with a plunger actuator and solder lug termination. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the KB16SKG01 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Circuit configuration must be SPDT
• Switch function must be On-On
• Current rating must support minimum 0.4VA at 28V AC/DC
• Voltage rating must be rated for 28V AC/DC operation

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting type must be Panel Mount, Front
• Actuator type must be Plunger for Cap
• Operating temperature range must encompass -25°C to 70°C
• Panel cutout dimensions must accommodate the component

Regulatory & Environmental Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance required
• MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) acceptable
• REACH Unaffected status required

The YB16SKG01 qualifies as a substitute based on matching electrical specifications (SPDT, On-On, 0.4VA at 28V), compatible mechanical design (Panel Mount, Front, Plunger actuator), and equivalent regulatory compliance (ROHS3, MSL 1, REACH Unaffected).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The YB16SKG01 is a functionally equivalent substitute for the obsolete KB16SKG01 based on matching electrical and mechanical specifications. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for equivalent component selection.

Implementation considerations include panel cutout diameter modification (16.00mm for YB16SKG01 versus 12.30mm for KB16SKG01) and termination style adaptation (Quick Connect option available on YB16SKG01 in addition to solder capability). The YB16SKG01 provides enhanced mechanical life rating (200,000 cycles versus 100,000 cycles), offering improved durability in equivalent applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can YB16SKG01 directly replace KB16SKG01 without modifications?

A: Electrical and functional replacement is direct. Physical installation requires panel cutout enlargement from 12.30mm to 16.00mm diameter. Termination style differs; YB16SKG01 offers both solder and Quick Connect options versus KB16SKG01 solder lug only.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution compatibility?

A: SPDT circuit configuration, On-On switch function, 0.4VA current rating at 28V AC/DC, Panel Mount Front installation, Plunger actuator type, and -25°C to 70°C operating temperature range must all be maintained.

Q: Does YB16SKG01 meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both KB16SKG01 and YB16SKG01 are ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1 rated, and REACH Unaffected, satisfying equivalent regulatory compliance.

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

A: KB16SKG01 is rated for 100,000 mechanical cycles. YB16SKG01 is rated for 200,000 mechanical cycles, providing extended operational life in equivalent applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between KB16SKG01 and YB16SKG01?

A: KB16SKG01 packaging is listed as standard. YB16SKG01 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both are new original stock components from NKK Switches.
