P01-06-C-2A Panel Indicator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The P01-06-C-2A is an incandescent panel indicator manufactured by NKK Switches, designed for 6V AC applications with 80mA current consumption. This component features a red incandescent lamp with a clear red lens and square panel cutout (19.30mm x 19.30mm). The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where similar visual indication is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The UB204KW035C-3JC serves as a functional substitute for the P01-06-C-2A based on the following substitution criteria:

Common Functional Parameters:

• Red lamp color and red lens color for consistent visual indication
• Square panel cutout shape for mechanical compatibility with existing panel layouts
• Panel cutout dimensions within acceptable tolerance (0.69" x 0.69" vs. 0.76" x 0.76")
• Flat top lens style for consistent appearance
• ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status for regulatory alignment

Technology Transition: The substitute represents a transition from incandescent to LED technology. While voltage (1.85V vs. 6V) and current (30mA vs. 80mA) ratings differ, the UB204KW035C-3JC maintains the same visual function and panel integration requirements as the original component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The P01-06-C-2A is classified as obsolete. The UB204KW035C-3JC is an active product from the same manufacturer, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Substitution Feasibility: Selection of the UB204KW035C-3JC requires circuit-level modifications to accommodate the different voltage and current specifications. The mechanical panel integration remains compatible due to matching square cutout shapes and similar lens dimensions. The transition from incandescent to LED technology introduces reduced power consumption and extended operational life.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UB204KW035C-3JC directly replace the P01-06-C-2A without circuit modifications?

A: No. The UB204KW035C-3JC operates at 1.85V with 30mA maximum current, while the P01-06-C-2A requires 6V AC at 80mA. Circuit redesign is necessary to accommodate the different electrical specifications.

Q: Are the panel cutout dimensions compatible?

A: The panel cutout shapes are both square, but dimensions differ slightly (0.76" x 0.76" vs. 0.69" x 0.69"). The substitute has a smaller cutout, which may require panel modification or use of an adapter bezel depending on the existing panel layout.

Q: What is the primary difference between the lens transparency specifications?

A: The P01-06-C-2A features a clear lens, while the UB204KW035C-3JC has a diffused lens. This affects light distribution characteristics; the diffused lens provides a broader viewing angle with softer light output.

Q: Are both components compliant with current environmental standards?

A: Yes. Both the P01-06-C-2A and UB204KW035C-3JC are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the inventory status for these components?

A: The P01-06-C-2A has 711 pieces in stock (obsolete status). The UB204KW035C-3JC has 779 pieces in stock and is an active product, ensuring continued availability.
