LP1S-17S-229-Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LP1S-17S-229-Z is a pushbutton switch manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation, configured as a Standard Illuminated SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) through-hole component with a red LED indicator. The switch is rated for 3A at 125V AC and 30V DC, with an operating temperature range of -15°C to 60°C and an electrical life of 30,000 cycles. This part is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The UB16SKW035C-CC from NKK Switches qualifies as a functional substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Both parts are SPDT with On-On switch function
• Voltage Ratings: Both rated for 125V AC and 30V DC
• Mounting & Termination: Both are through-hole mounted with PC pin termination
• Actuator & Illumination: Both feature square button actuators with red LED illumination
• Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The UB16SKW035C-CC provides enhanced electrical performance with a 5A current rating (exceeding the 3A requirement) and extended mechanical life of 200,000 cycles, making it suitable for applications requiring the LP1S-17S-229-Z specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The UB16SKW035C-CC is an active product from an established manufacturer, providing continuity for applications currently using the obsolete LP1S-17S-229-Z. Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance requirements and share identical voltage and circuit specifications. The substitute part offers superior current handling capacity (5A versus 3A) and extended mechanical life (200,000 cycles), providing design margin for new implementations. The operating temperature range of the substitute (-25°C to 50°C) overlaps the original specification, with extended low-temperature capability. Illumination voltage differs marginally (1.85V versus 2V nominal), which is within typical LED tolerance ranges for standard circuit designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UB16SKW035C-CC directly replace the LP1S-17S-229-Z in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical SPDT circuit configuration, 125V AC / 30V DC voltage ratings, through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, and red LED illumination. The substitute's higher current rating (5A) and mechanical life provide enhanced performance margins.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), current rating (3A versus 5A), electrical life (30,000 versus 10,000 cycles), mechanical life (not specified versus 200,000 cycles), and operating temperature ranges (-15°C to 60°C versus -25°C to 50°C). Illumination voltage differs slightly (2V versus 1.85V nominal).

Q: Are there packaging considerations for substitution?

A: The LP1S-17S-229-Z packaging is not specified in available data. The UB16SKW035C-CC is supplied in Tray packaging. Physical dimensions and panel cutout specifications should be verified against original design documentation to confirm mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. The substitute carries REACH Unaffected status. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.50.9033.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The UB16SKW035C-CC should be selected for new designs due to its active product status, superior electrical and mechanical performance characteristics, and availability from an established manufacturer.
