P01-06-B-2A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The P01-06-B-2A is an incandescent panel indicator manufactured by NKK Switches, designed for 6V AC applications with 80mA current consumption. This component features a white incandescent lamp with a clear white lens and a square panel cutout of 0.76" x 0.76" (19.30mm x 19.30mm). The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance, repair, and redesign applications where continued sourcing of the original component is no longer viable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P01-06-B-2A is determined by the following critical parameters:

Panel Mechanical Compatibility: The panel cutout shape (square) and dimensions (0.76" x 0.76" / 19.30mm x 19.30mm) establish the physical mounting envelope. Substitute parts must accommodate installation within this cutout without requiring panel modification.

Optical Characteristics: The lamp color (white) and lens transparency (clear) define the visual output. Substitute parts must maintain white light emission with comparable optical clarity.

Electrical Ratings: The voltage (6V AC) and current (80mA) establish the power supply requirements. Substitute parts must operate within compatible voltage and current parameters to ensure proper integration with existing power distribution systems.

Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are mandatory for continued use in regulated markets.

The UB204KW036B-3JB represents a technology transition from incandescent to LED technology while maintaining functional equivalence in panel indicator applications. This substitute operates at 3.3V with 20mA current consumption, requiring circuit-level voltage and current adjustment but providing superior reliability and extended operational life compared to incandescent technology.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Active Product Status: The UB204KW036B-3JB is classified as active, ensuring continued manufacturer support, availability, and compliance updates. The P01-06-B-2A obsolete status creates supply chain risk and limits access to replacement inventory.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying current environmental and hazardous substance regulations applicable to electronic components in regulated markets.

Substitution Feasibility: Direct mechanical substitution requires panel cutout modification due to dimensional differences (0.76" vs. 0.69" cutout dimensions). Electrical substitution requires circuit redesign to accommodate 3.3V and 20mA operating parameters in place of 6V and 80mA. The substitute part is suitable for new designs and retrofit applications where circuit modification is feasible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UB204KW036B-3JB be installed directly into the P01-06-B-2A panel cutout without modification?

A: No. The panel cutout dimensions differ: P01-06-B-2A requires 0.76" x 0.76" (19.30mm x 19.30mm), while UB204KW036B-3JB requires 0.69" x 0.69" (17.53mm x 17.53mm). Panel modification is necessary for mechanical installation.

Q: What circuit modifications are required to use the UB204KW036B-3JB as a substitute?

A: The substitute operates at 3.3V with 20mA maximum current, compared to the original 6V AC at 80mA. Power supply voltage must be reduced from 6V to 3.3V, and current-limiting circuitry must be adjusted accordingly. The substitute requires DC power supply rather than AC.

Q: Are both components compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the P01-06-B-2A and UB204KW036B-3JB maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance regulations.

Q: What is the primary advantage of substituting to the UB204KW036B-3JB?

A: The substitute transitions from obsolete incandescent technology to active LED technology. LED indicators provide extended operational life, lower power consumption, and continued manufacturer support and availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: Yes. The P01-06-B-2A is packaged in standard format, while the UB204KW036B-3JB is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect functional compatibility.
