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

Part Overview

The LP1S-17S-W-Z is a pushbutton switch manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation, featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration with a rated capacity of 3A at 125V AC. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The switch employs through-hole mounting with a white square button actuator and PC pin termination, suitable for standard industrial control applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LP1S-17S-W-Z is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Must be SPDT to maintain electrical functionality
• Voltage Rating - AC: Minimum 125V AC to support existing circuit requirements
• Voltage Rating - DC: Minimum 30V DC compatibility
• Mounting Type: Through hole mounting required for PCB compatibility
• Actuator Type & Color: Square button with white actuator for mechanical fit and visual consistency
• Termination Style: PC pin termination for direct board connection
• Current Rating: Minimum 3A (AC/DC) to handle circuit load; higher ratings provide design margin

The UB16SKW03N-B from NKK Switches meets all substitution criteria. This part exceeds the minimum current rating (5A vs. 3A), maintains identical voltage specifications, preserves mechanical and electrical interface compatibility, and carries active product status with enhanced lifecycle specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The UB16SKW03N-B is a direct functional substitute for the LP1S-17S-W-Z. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and maintain identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete LP1S-17S-W-Z.

The UB16SKW03N-B provides a higher current rating (5A vs. 3A), which increases design margin without affecting circuit compatibility. The extended operating temperature range (-20°C to 70°C vs. -15°C to 60°C) accommodates broader environmental conditions. Both parts feature identical voltage ratings, mounting configuration, and termination style, enabling direct board-level replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UB16SKW03N-B directly replace the LP1S-17S-W-Z without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mounting type (through hole), actuator configuration (square button, white), termination style (PC pin), and voltage ratings (125V AC / 30V DC). No PCB layout changes are required.

Q: Why does the substitute part have a higher current rating?

A: The UB16SKW03N-B is rated for 5A (AC/DC) compared to the LP1S-17S-W-Z at 3A (AC/DC). This higher rating provides additional design margin and does not affect compatibility with circuits designed for 3A operation.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the LP1S-17S-W-Z and UB16SKW03N-B are ROHS3 compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the LP1S-17S-W-Z being obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation. The UB16SKW03N-B, with active product status from NKK Switches, ensures continued availability and supply chain reliability for new designs and replacements.

Q: Are the operating temperature ranges compatible?

A: The UB16SKW03N-B operates across -20°C to 70°C, which encompasses the LP1S-17S-W-Z range of -15°C to 60°C. The substitute part supports a wider temperature envelope, providing greater environmental flexibility.
