LB02KW01-12-JC Panel Indicator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LB02KW01-12-JC is an incandescent panel indicator manufactured by NKK Switches, designed for 12V AC applications with 60mA current consumption. The device features a red incandescent lamp with a clear lens, round panel cutout of 0.87" (22.10mm), and quick connect termination at 0.110" (2.8mm). This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes necessary for ongoing maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LB02KW01-12-JC is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Panel cutout shape and dimensions (0.87" round)
• Lens size and style (19.00mm diameter, round with flat top)
• Termination style (Quick Connect - 0.110")
• Voltage rating (12V)
• Lamp color and lens color (Red)
• Mechanical fit within the same series (LB)

The LB02KW01-5C12-JC qualifies as a substitute based on matching panel cutout dimensions, lens specifications, termination style, voltage rating, and color requirements. The primary difference is the technology transition from incandescent to LED, which alters current consumption (60mA to 26mA) and electrical ratings (AC to DC).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LB02KW01-5C12-JC is an active product substitute for the obsolete LB02KW01-12-JC. Both components maintain identical mechanical compatibility through matching panel cutout dimensions, lens specifications, and termination style. Both achieve ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Selection between these parts depends on circuit design requirements. The main part operates on AC 12V at 60mA with incandescent technology. The substitute operates on DC 12V at 26mA with LED technology. Circuit voltage source type (AC versus DC) and current capacity must align with the selected component. The LED substitute provides reduced power consumption and extended operational life compared to the incandescent original.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LB02KW01-5C12-JC directly replace LB02KW01-12-JC in existing applications?

A: Mechanical replacement is direct due to identical panel cutout dimensions (0.87" round), lens size (19.00mm), and termination style (Quick Connect - 0.110"). Electrical compatibility requires verification that the circuit provides DC 12V at 26mA for the LED substitute, whereas the original requires AC 12V at 60mA.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The main differences are technology type (incandescent versus LED), electrical rating (AC versus DC), and current consumption (60mA versus 26mA). Both maintain identical mechanical form factors and color specifications (red lamp, red lens).

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both LB02KW01-12-JC and LB02KW01-5C12-JC are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: The LB02KW01-12-JC is classified as obsolete. The active substitute LB02KW01-5C12-JC represents the current product offering within the LB series for equivalent panel indicator applications.

Q: Does lens transparency affect substitution?

A: Lens transparency differs between parts (clear versus diffused). This affects light distribution characteristics but does not prevent mechanical or electrical substitution when circuit requirements are met.
