KB16SKW01-5C-JC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KB16SKW01-5C-JC is a pushbutton switch with SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration, designed for panel-mount front installation with LED illumination. This component operates at 1A (AC/DC) with 125V AC and 30V DC voltage ratings. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where similar electrical and mechanical characteristics are required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the KB16SKW01-5C-JC is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT maintained)
• Voltage ratings (125V AC / 30V DC minimum)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Front)
• Illumination type and color (LED, Red)
• Illumination voltage (1.9 VDC nominal)
• Actuator type (Square, Button)
• Operating temperature range (-25°C to 50°C)
• RoHS3 compliance

The YB16SKW01-5C-JC qualifies as a substitute based on matching these core parameters. Differences in current rating (3A vs. 1A), panel cutout diameter (16.00mm vs. 12.30mm), mechanical life (200,000 vs. 100,000 cycles), and electrical life (100,000 vs. 50,000 cycles) represent enhanced or different specifications rather than incompatibilities. The substitute part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The YB16SKW01-5C-JC is an active product substitute for the obsolete KB16SKW01-5C-JC. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for equivalent applications.

Selection between these parts depends on mechanical integration constraints:

• The KB16SKW01-5C-JC requires a 12.30mm diameter panel cutout
• The YB16SKW01-5C-JC requires a 16.00mm diameter panel cutout

If the existing panel cutout diameter is 12.30mm, mechanical modification is necessary to accommodate the substitute part. If panel modification is not feasible, the KB16SKW01-5C-JC must be sourced from available inventory or alternative suppliers.

The YB16SKW01-5C-JC offers enhanced electrical and mechanical durability (3A current rating, 200,000 mechanical cycles, 100,000 electrical cycles) compared to the original specification, making it suitable for applications requiring higher reliability margins.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the YB16SKW01-5C-JC directly replace the KB16SKW01-5C-JC without modification?

A: Electrical compatibility is confirmed. Mechanical compatibility requires verification of panel cutout diameter. The substitute part requires a 16.00mm diameter cutout versus the original 12.30mm diameter. Panel modification or redesign may be necessary.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference (1A vs. 3A)?

A: The substitute part has a higher current-carrying capacity. This represents an enhanced specification and does not create incompatibility. Applications designed for 1A operation will function within the 3A-rated component's operating envelope.

Q: Are both parts compliant with environmental and regulatory standards?

A: Both the KB16SKW01-5C-JC and YB16SKW01-5C-JC are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: Why does the substitute part have different mechanical and electrical life ratings?

A: The YB16SKW01-5C-JC is rated for 200,000 mechanical cycles and 100,000 electrical cycles, compared to 100,000 and 50,000 cycles respectively for the original part. These represent design improvements in the substitute series and do not affect substitution eligibility.

Q: What termination style differences exist between these parts?

A: The KB16SKW01-5C-JC uses solder lug termination. The YB16SKW01-5C-JC offers solder and quick connect 0.110" (2.8mm) termination options. Termination compatibility must be verified against circuit board design requirements.
