SW3006A/UCV Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SW3006A/UCV is a rocker switch manufactured by NKK Switches, configured as a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) switch rated for 20A at 125V AC and 30V DC. This panel-mount, flange-style switch features a concave white actuator with solder lug termination and dust-proof ingress protection. The part is currently listed as obsolete, which necessitates identification of equivalent alternatives for ongoing applications and new designs requiring compatible switching functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SW3006A/UCV is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (DPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Current rating (20A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (125V AC, 30V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Flange)
• Actuator type (Concave Standard V)
• Termination style (Solder Lug)
• Operating temperature range (-10°C to 70°C)
• Mechanical and electrical life specifications
• Ingress protection rating (Dust Proof)
• Regulatory approvals (CSA, UL)

The SW3006A represents a direct equivalent within the NKK Switches SW series, sharing identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing in product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SW3006A serves as the direct equivalent for the obsolete SW3006A/UCV. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical specifications, and regulatory certifications (CSA, UL). The primary distinction is product status: SW3006A is currently active in production, whereas SW3006A/UCV is obsolete. The SW3006A additionally carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental regulatory requirements. For applications requiring the SW3006A/UCV, the SW3006A is the appropriate selection for continued component availability and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SW3006A directly replace SW3006A/UCV in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters, including circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, mounting type, actuator specifications, and termination style. The SW3006A is the active production equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between SW3006A/UCV and SW3006A?

A: The primary differences are product status (SW3006A/UCV is obsolete; SW3006A is active) and packaging (SW3006A/UCV uses standard packaging; SW3006A uses bulk packaging). The SW3006A also carries ROHS3 compliance certification. Electrical and mechanical performance are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting SW3006A for SW3006A/UCV?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts share identical panel-mount flange configuration, solder lug termination, and dust-proof ingress protection. PCB layout and mechanical mounting requirements remain unchanged.

Q: Does the SW3006A meet the same regulatory approvals as SW3006A/UCV?

A: Yes. Both parts carry CSA and UL approvals. The SW3006A additionally meets ROHS3 compliance requirements.

Q: What packaging options are available for the SW3006A?

A: The SW3006A is supplied in bulk packaging, differing from the standard packaging of the obsolete SW3006A/UCV variant.
