Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the KB26SKW01-GG is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Electrical Requirements:

• Circuit configuration must be DPDT
• Switch function must be On-On
• Voltage ratings must meet or exceed: 125V AC and 30V DC
• Current rating must support the application requirement

Mechanical & Installation Requirements:

• Mounting type must be Panel Mount, Front
• Actuator type must be Square, Button
• Panel cutout dimensions must be compatible with existing installations

Environmental & Compliance Requirements:

• Operating temperature range must encompass -25°C to 70°C
• RoHS3 compliance required
• REACH unaffected status required

The substitute part YB26SKW01-GB meets these core substitution criteria while offering enhanced electrical and mechanical performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The YB26SKW01-GB is a qualified substitute for the KB26SKW01-GG based on the following engineering criteria:

Compliance & Availability: The substitute part maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment. The YB26SKW01-GB carries active product status with current inventory availability, eliminating supply chain risk associated with the obsolete KB26SKW01-GG.

Electrical Performance: Both parts satisfy the 125V AC and 30V DC voltage requirements. The YB26SKW01-GB provides enhanced current capacity at 3A versus the original 1A rating, offering design margin for applications operating at or below the original current specification.

Mechanical Compatibility Considerations: The panel cutout diameter increases from 12.30mm to 16.00mm. Existing panel installations require modification to accommodate the larger cutout. The termination style differs, with the substitute offering both solder and quick connect options versus the original solder lug only configuration.

Operational Durability: The YB26SKW01-GB demonstrates superior mechanical and electrical life ratings (200,000 and 100,000 cycles respectively) compared to the original part (100,000 and 50,000 cycles), providing extended service life in equivalent applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the YB26SKW01-GB directly replace the KB26SKW01-GG without panel modification?

A: No. The panel cutout diameter differs: KB26SKW01-GG requires 12.30mm, while YB26SKW01-GB requires 16.00mm. Panel drilling or enlargement is necessary for mechanical installation.

Q: Are the electrical specifications compatible for my application?

A: Yes, provided your application operates at or below 1A at 125V AC or 30V DC. The YB26SKW01-GB supports these ratings and higher, maintaining full compatibility with the original electrical requirements.

Q: What termination options does the substitute part provide?

A: The YB26SKW01-GB offers both solder and quick connect (0.110" / 2.8mm) termination styles, providing flexibility beyond the original solder lug only configuration.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the KB26SKW01-GG and YB26SKW01-GB are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the mechanical life difference between these parts?

A: The KB26SKW01-GG is rated for 100,000 mechanical cycles, while the YB26SKW01-GB is rated for 200,000 cycles. The substitute part provides double the mechanical durability.

Q: Is the YB26SKW01-GB currently available?

A: Yes. The YB26SKW01-GB carries active product status with 972 units in current inventory, ensuring reliable supply availability compared to the obsolete KB26SKW01-GG.
