SW3006A/V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SW3006A/V 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 SW3006A/V is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where this switch type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SW3006A/V 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)
• Ingress protection (Dust Proof)
• Operating temperature range (-10°C to 70°C)
• Mechanical and electrical life ratings

The SW3006A represents a direct substitute, sharing identical electrical and mechanical specifications while maintaining the same base product number (SW3006) within the NKK Switches series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SW3006A is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete SW3006A/V. Both parts carry identical electrical ratings, mechanical specifications, and regulatory certifications (CSA, UL). The primary distinction is product status: SW3006A/V is obsolete while SW3006A maintains active production status. The SW3006A is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. For applications currently using SW3006A/V, transition to SW3006A ensures continued availability and compliance with modern standards without requiring circuit or mechanical redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
