KB16SKW01-5F05-JF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KB16SKW01-5F05-JF is a pushbutton switch with SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration, designed for panel mount front installation with LED illumination. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

The switch operates at 1A (AC/DC) with 125V AC and 30V DC voltage ratings, featuring a square button actuator with green LED illumination at 5VDC nominal. The circular 12.30mm panel cutout and solder lug termination define its mechanical and electrical interface requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the KB16SKW01-5F05-JF is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT required)
• Switch function (On-On operation)
• Illumination type and color (LED, Green)
• Illumination voltage (5VDC nominal)
• Voltage ratings (125V AC minimum, 30V DC minimum)
• Operating temperature range (-25°C to 50°C minimum)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Front)
• Actuator type (Square, Button)
• RoHS compliance status

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Current rating (equal or greater than 1A)
• Panel cutout diameter (mechanical interface adjustment may be required)
• Termination style (alternative termination acceptable with appropriate interface modification)
• Mechanical and electrical life cycles (equal or greater than specified values)

The YB16SKW01-5F05-JF meets all mandatory compatibility parameters while exceeding performance specifications in current rating, mechanical life, and electrical life.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The YB16SKW01-5F05-JF is a functionally equivalent substitute for the KB16SKW01-5F05-JF based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Both components maintain identical voltage ratings (125V AC, 30V DC) and illumination specifications (LED, Green, 5VDC). The YB16SKW01-5F05-JF provides enhanced current capacity (3A versus 1A), which is compatible with applications designed for the original 1A specification.

Operational Compatibility: Both switches feature identical SPDT circuit configuration, On-On switch function, and operating temperature range (-25°C to 50°C). Mechanical and electrical life cycles of the substitute exceed the original specification, providing extended service life.

Compliance Status: Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. The YB16SKW01-5F05-JF holds active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Mechanical Interface Consideration: The panel cutout diameter differs (16.00mm versus 12.30mm). Panel modifications or adapter hardware may be required for direct installation in existing enclosures designed for the KB16SKW01-5F05-JF.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the YB16SKW01-5F05-JF directly replace the KB16SKW01-5F05-JF without modification?

A: Electrical and functional compatibility is complete. However, the panel cutout diameter difference (16.00mm versus 12.30mm) requires mechanical evaluation. If the existing panel opening is sized for 12.30mm, enlargement to 16.00mm or use of an adapter bezel may be necessary.

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

A: The YB16SKW01-5F05-JF is rated for 3A, exceeding the original 1A specification. This higher rating is backward compatible with 1A applications and provides additional capacity margin for future design modifications.

Q: Are the illumination specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both components feature LED illumination in green color with 5VDC nominal operating voltage. Visual appearance and electrical interface are equivalent.

Q: What is the impact of the different termination styles?

A: The KB16SKW01-5F05-JF uses solder lug termination, while the YB16SKW01-5F05-JF offers solder and quick connect 0.110" (2.8mm) termination options. Termination compatibility must be evaluated against the specific circuit board or wiring harness design.

Q: Does the product status change affect component selection?

A: The YB16SKW01-5F05-JF holds active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability. The KB16SKW01-5F05-JF is obsolete, making the active substitute the preferred selection for new designs and ongoing maintenance.

Q: Are mechanical life cycle differences significant?

A: The YB16SKW01-5F05-JF provides 200,000 mechanical cycles versus 100,000 for the original, and 100,000 electrical cycles versus 50,000. These enhancements extend component service life and reduce replacement frequency in high-cycle applications.
