Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the NK1FWH with the NK1FWHY is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Panduit Corp
• Category: Keystone Connectors
• Style: Single Gang
• Type: Faceplate
• Number of Ports: 1
• Port Direction: Straight
• Color: White
• Material: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
• For Use With/Related Products: NetKey® Series
• ECCN: EAR99
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Not Applicable

The NK1FWHY represents the active production equivalent of the obsolete NK1FWH. Both components share identical functional specifications and physical compatibility with NetKey® Series installations. The NK1FWHY is designated as the base product number successor and maintains full interchangeability for applications requiring single gang, 1-port white faceplates.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The NK1FWHY is the direct active production substitute for the obsolete NK1FWH. Selection of the NK1FWHY is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Transition: The NK1FWH is classified as obsolete, while the NK1FWHY maintains active product status. This transition ensures access to current manufacturing, quality assurance, and supply chain continuity.

Compliance and Certifications: Both parts share identical ECCN classification (EAR99) and equivalent regulatory standing. The NK1FWHY carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing enhanced environmental and regulatory documentation for modern installations.

Functional Equivalence: Complete parameter alignment across all critical specifications—including single gang configuration, 1-port capacity, straight port direction, white color, and ABS material composition—establishes full interchangeability within NetKey® Series applications.

Packaging and Features: The NK1FWHY includes label cover/holder with labels and mounting hardware as standard features, providing enhanced functionality over the base NK1FWH specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NK1FWHY be used as a direct replacement for the NK1FWH in existing NetKey® Series installations?

A: Yes. The NK1FWHY is the active production equivalent of the obsolete NK1FWH. Both components share identical functional specifications, physical dimensions, and compatibility with NetKey® Series connector systems. Direct substitution is supported for all applications.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the NK1FWH with the NK1FWHY?

A: The NK1FWH is classified as obsolete and is no longer in active production. The NK1FWHY represents the current active production model that maintains full functional and physical equivalence while ensuring ongoing availability and compliance with current manufacturing standards.

Q: Are there any differences in material composition between the NK1FWH and NK1FWHY?

A: No. Both parts are manufactured from Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and share identical material specifications.

Q: What additional features does the NK1FWHY provide compared to the NK1FWH?

A: The NK1FWHY includes label cover/holder with labels and mounting hardware as standard features. These additions enhance functionality without altering core faceplate specifications or compatibility.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: The NK1FWHY carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing current regulatory documentation. Both parts share identical ECCN classification (EAR99) for export control purposes.

Q: What are the physical dimensions of the NK1FWHY?

A: The NK1FWHY measures 4.500" (114.30mm) in length, 2.748" (69.80mm) in width, and 0.453" (11.50mm) in depth.

Q: Is the NK1FWHY available in packaging options other than bulk?

A: The NK1FWHY is supplied in bulk packaging. Specific packaging configurations should be confirmed with the supplier based on order requirements.
