Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the KP0215ASBKG036CF-2FJB is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPST-NO
• Switch function: Off-Mom (momentary operation)
• Current rating: 100mA DC minimum
• Voltage rating: 12V DC minimum
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Actuator type: Square, Button
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Illumination capability: LED-based

Allowable Variations:

• Illumination color options: Substitute parts may offer expanded color capabilities (such as RGB) while maintaining compatibility with the original green/red requirement
• Illumination voltage: Nominal values may vary within the operating range of standard LED specifications
• Operating temperature range: Substitute parts may offer extended ranges
• Mechanical and electrical life: Substitute parts may exceed the original specification
• Product status: Active status preferred for ongoing availability

The two substitute parts listed below satisfy these criteria through functional equivalence in switching performance and electrical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

KP0215ASBKG03RGBP-2FJB (NKK Switches): This substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the original part while offering expanded illumination capability through RGB color support. The part is manufactured by the same supplier as the original, ensuring design continuity and compatibility. Active product status provides assured long-term availability. ROHS3 compliance supports modern regulatory requirements. This option is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the original green/red illumination is required, with the added flexibility of RGB capability for future design iterations.

LP11OA1TBSRG (E-Switch): This substitute meets all critical electrical and switching parameters while sourced from an alternative manufacturer. The part offers an extended operating temperature range (-20°C to 70°C) compared to the original specification. Mechanical and electrical life ratings are reduced to 1,000,000 cycles, which remains suitable for standard momentary switch applications but should be evaluated for high-cycle-count environments. ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status align with regulatory standards. This option provides cross-manufacturer flexibility for procurement and supply chain resilience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can KP0215ASBKG03RGBP-2FJB be used as a direct replacement for KP0215ASBKG036CF-2FJB?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical circuit configuration (SPST-NO), switch function (Off-Mom), current rating (100mA DC), voltage rating (12V), mounting type (Through Hole), actuator type (Square Button), and termination style (PC Pin). The substitute offers RGB illumination capability while maintaining full compatibility with the original green/red requirement.

Q: What is the key difference between the two substitute parts?

A: KP0215ASBKG03RGBP-2FJB is manufactured by NKK Switches (same as the original) with identical mechanical and electrical life ratings (5,000,000 cycles). LP11OA1TBSRG is manufactured by E-Switch with reduced life ratings (1,000,000 cycles) but offers an extended operating temperature range (-20°C to 70°C versus -25°C to 50°C). Both are functionally equivalent for standard momentary switch applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original part was supplied in standard packaging. KP0215ASBKG03RGBP-2FJB and LP11OA1TBSRG are both supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Both substitute parts are ROHS3 Compliant. The KP0215ASBKG03RGBP-2FJB status for REACH compliance is not specified in available data. LP11OA1TBSRG is REACH Unaffected. For applications requiring specific regulatory certification, confirm compliance documentation with the manufacturer.

Q: What is the impact of the reduced mechanical life rating in the LP11OA1TBSRG?

A: The LP11OA1TBSRG is rated for 1,000,000 cycles compared to 5,000,000 cycles for the original part. For applications requiring fewer than 1,000,000 actuations over the product lifetime, this specification is sufficient. For high-cycle applications, the KP0215ASBKG03RGBP-2FJB is the preferred substitute.

Q: Can illumination voltage differences affect circuit design?

A: Illumination voltage specifications are nominal values. The KP0215ASBKG036CF-2FJB operates at 2.0 and 3.1 VDC; KP0215ASBKG03RGBP-2FJB at 2.0, 2.9, and 2.9 VDC; LP11OA1TBSRG at 2.2 and 4.6 VDC. These variations are within standard LED operating ranges and do not require circuit redesign for typical applications using current-limiting resistors.
