Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The YB25SKW01-5F-JF qualifies as a substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• DPDT circuit configuration
• On-Mom switch function
• 125V AC voltage rating
• 30V DC voltage rating
• Panel mount, front mounting type
• Green LED illumination
• -25°C to 50°C operating temperature range
• ROHS3 compliance
• Solder lug termination compatibility

Differing Parameters:

• Current rating increased from 1A to 3A
• Panel cutout diameter increased from 12.30mm to 16.00mm
• Mechanical life upgraded from 100,000 to 1,000,000 cycles
• Electrical life upgraded from 50,000 to 100,000 cycles
• Illumination voltage nominal increased from 2.1V to 2.2V DC
• Termination style expanded to include Quick Connect option
• Product status changed from Obsolete to Active

The higher current rating and enhanced mechanical/electrical life of the YB25SKW01-5F-JF represent performance improvements. The larger panel cutout diameter requires mechanical redesign consideration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The YB25SKW01-5F-JF is an active product with current manufacturing support from NKK Switches, addressing the obsolescence status of the KB25SKW01-5F-JF. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment.

Selection of the YB25SKW01-5F-JF requires evaluation of mechanical panel integration due to the 16.00mm cutout diameter versus the original 12.30mm specification. The increased current capacity (3A versus 1A) and extended mechanical/electrical life cycles provide enhanced performance margins for applications within the 125V AC / 30V DC operating envelope.

Termination compatibility must be assessed, as the YB25SKW01-5F-JF offers both solder lug and quick connect options, whereas the KB25SKW01-5F-JF is limited to solder lug termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the YB25SKW01-5F-JF directly replace the KB25SKW01-5F-JF without circuit modifications?

A: Electrical compatibility is maintained across the 125V AC and 30V DC voltage ratings and DPDT circuit configuration. The higher current rating of the YB25SKW01-5F-JF (3A) is backward compatible with applications rated for 1A. Mechanical panel integration requires verification due to the increased cutout diameter (16.00mm versus 12.30mm).

Q: What is the impact of the larger panel cutout diameter?

A: The YB25SKW01-5F-JF requires a 16.00mm circular panel cutout compared to 12.30mm for the KB25SKW01-5F-JF. Existing panel designs must be evaluated for modification feasibility. This represents a 3.70mm increase in diameter.

Q: Are the illumination specifications compatible?

A: Both components feature green LED illumination with nominal voltages of 2.1V DC (KB25SKW01-5F-JF) and 2.2V DC (YB25SKW01-5F-JF). This 0.1V difference is within typical LED circuit tolerance ranges and does not require circuit redesign.

Q: What are the termination options for the substitute part?

A: The YB25SKW01-5F-JF provides both solder lug and quick connect (0.110" / 2.8mm) termination options, offering greater flexibility than the KB25SKW01-5F-JF solder lug-only configuration.

Q: How do the mechanical and electrical life ratings compare?

A: The YB25SKW01-5F-JF provides 1,000,000 mechanical cycles and 100,000 electrical cycles, compared to 100,000 mechanical cycles and 50,000 electrical cycles for the KB25SKW01-5F-JF. This represents a 10-fold improvement in mechanical life and a 2-fold improvement in electrical life.
