Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The YB16SKW01-6G-JB qualifies as a substitute based on the following alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT (identical)
• Voltage rating AC: 125V (identical)
• Voltage rating DC: 30V (identical)
• Mounting type: Panel Mount, Front (identical)
• Illumination type and color: LED, Blue (identical)
• Illumination voltage: 3.6VDC (identical)
• Actuator type: Square, Button (identical)
• Operating temperature range: -25°C to 50°C (identical)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)

Differing Parameters:

• Current rating: 3A (AC/DC) versus 1A (AC/DC) — higher rating in substitute
• Panel cutout diameter: 16.00mm versus 12.30mm — larger in substitute
• Termination style: Solder, Quick Connect - 0.110" (2.8mm) versus Solder Lug
• Mechanical life: 200,000 cycles versus 100,000 cycles
• Electrical life: 100,000 cycles versus 50,000 cycles
• Product status: Active versus Obsolete

The YB16SKW01-6G-JB provides enhanced electrical and mechanical performance characteristics while maintaining core functional compatibility in circuit topology, voltage ratings, and illumination specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The YB16SKW01-6G-JB is an active product from NKK Switches with current manufacturing support and ROHS3 compliance, addressing the obsolescence status of the KB16SKW01-6G-JB. Both parts maintain identical voltage ratings (125V AC, 30V DC), circuit topology (SPDT), and illumination specifications (LED, Blue, 3.6VDC).

Selection of the YB16SKW01-6G-JB requires consideration of three design-level factors: the increased current rating (3A versus 1A) is compatible with applications rated for 1A operation; the larger panel cutout diameter (16.00mm versus 12.30mm) necessitates panel modification or redesign; and the alternative termination style (Quick Connect versus Solder Lug) requires wiring harness adaptation.

Both parts carry identical moisture sensitivity (MSL 1) and temperature operating ranges, ensuring environmental compatibility. The substitute part provides extended mechanical and electrical life ratings, supporting long-term system reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the YB16SKW01-6G-JB directly replace the KB16SKW01-6G-JB without modification?

A: Electrical substitution is feasible due to matching voltage ratings, circuit configuration, and illumination specifications. However, mechanical integration requires panel cutout modification (12.30mm to 16.00mm diameter) and termination style adaptation (Solder Lug to Quick Connect).

Q: What is the impact of the higher current rating (3A) on the KB16SKW01-6G-JB application?

A: The 3A rating of the YB16SKW01-6G-JB is a superset of the 1A requirement. Applications designed for 1A operation remain within the electrical envelope of the substitute part and do not require circuit redesign.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The KB16SKW01-6G-JB is packaged in standard format, while the YB16SKW01-6G-JB is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction affects procurement and inventory management but does not impact functional performance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both the KB16SKW01-6G-JB and YB16SKW01-6G-JB are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The KB16SKW01-6G-JB is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The YB16SKW01-6G-JB maintains active status with ongoing production support from NKK Switches, ensuring long-term component availability and supply chain stability.
