KB16SKW01-5C24-JC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KB16SKW01-5C24-JC is a pushbutton switch with SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration, designed for panel-mount front installation with LED illumination. This component features a 1A current rating at 125V AC and 30V DC, with a square button actuator and red LED indicator powered at 24VDC. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the KB16SKW01-5C24-JC is determined by the following critical parameters:

Circuit configuration must remain SPDT to maintain switching logic equivalence. Voltage ratings (125V AC / 30V DC) establish the maximum operational envelope and cannot be reduced. Illumination specifications (LED, Red, 24VDC) must match to preserve indicator functionality and control circuit compatibility. Mounting type (Panel Mount, Front) and actuator type (Square, Button) ensure mechanical fit within the panel assembly.

The substitute part YB16SKW01-5C24-JC maintains all these core parameters while offering enhanced performance characteristics. Current rating differences (1A versus 3A) represent an upgrade path where the substitute accommodates higher load requirements within the same voltage and circuit framework. Panel cutout diameter increase (12.30mm to 16.00mm) reflects a different mechanical envelope but remains compatible with standard panel mounting practices. Termination style variation (Solder Lug to Solder/Quick Connect) provides installation flexibility without affecting electrical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The YB16SKW01-5C24-JC qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete KB16SKW01-5C24-JC based on maintained electrical and functional parameters. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying regulatory requirements for current manufacturing and deployment.

The substitute part carries Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Enhanced mechanical life (200,000 cycles versus 100,000 cycles) and electrical life (100,000 cycles versus 50,000 cycles) provide extended operational durability. The increased current rating (3A versus 1A) accommodates higher load applications without circuit redesign, provided the system load does not exceed 3A at the specified voltage levels.

Panel cutout diameter expansion from 12.30mm to 16.00mm requires mechanical panel modification. Termination style flexibility (addition of Quick Connect option) supports multiple installation methodologies without compromising solder lug compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the YB16SKW01-5C24-JC replace the KB16SKW01-5C24-JC in existing assemblies?

A: Yes, provided the panel cutout diameter can accommodate the larger 16.00mm opening. All electrical parameters, circuit configuration, and illumination specifications remain compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating increase from 1A to 3A?

A: The substitute part supports higher load currents within the same voltage envelope. Systems designed for 1A operation remain fully compatible; systems requiring higher current capacity benefit from the upgrade without circuit modification.

Q: Does the termination style change affect installation?

A: The YB16SKW01-5C24-JC offers both Solder Lug and Quick Connect termination options. Existing solder lug installations remain compatible; Quick Connect provides alternative installation flexibility.

Q: Are there mechanical fit considerations?

A: Panel cutout diameter increases from 12.30mm to 16.00mm. Panel drilling or modification may be required for retrofit applications. New designs should accommodate the larger diameter.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and deployment.
