Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the KP0215ASBKG03RGB is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Circuit Configuration: SPST-NO topology must be maintained for functional compatibility.

Electrical Ratings: Current rating of 100mA DC and voltage rating of 12V DC are mandatory requirements.

Illumination Specification: RGB LED illumination with nominal voltages of 2.0, 2.9, and 2.9 VDC must be preserved.

Switch Function: Off-Mom (momentary) operation is required.

Mounting Type: Through-hole mounting with PC pin termination is mandatory.

Mechanical and Electrical Life: Both rated at 5,000,000 cycles minimum.

Operating Temperature Range: -25°C to 50°C operational envelope must be supported.

The substitute part KP0215ASBKG03RGBP meets all these criteria while offering improved product status and supply availability.
