WR11BL/V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The WR11BL/V is a rocker switch manufactured by NKK Switches, classified as SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) with a 15A rating at 125V AC. This panel-mount, snap-in switch features a concave ivory actuator and wire lead termination, designed for on-off control applications. The WR11BL/V is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for system maintenance, repair, and component sourcing. The WR11BL represents the active equivalent variant with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the WR11BL/V is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following categories:

Electrical Parameters: Circuit configuration (SPST), current rating (15A AC/DC), voltage ratings (125V AC / 30V DC), and switch function (On-Off).

Mechanical Parameters: Mounting type (Panel Mount, Snap-In), actuator type (Concave), actuator color (Ivory), termination style (Wire Leads), and panel cutout dimensions (34.20mm x 17.20mm).

Environmental & Compliance: Ingress protection rating (IP67), operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C), mechanical life (30,000 cycles), electrical life (15,000 cycles), and approval agencies (EN, UL).

The WR11BL represents a direct substitute, differing only in product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and packaging configuration (Bulk vs. standard packaging).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WR11BL is the direct substitute for the obsolete WR11BL/V. Both parts are manufactured by NKK Switches and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: WR11BL/V is obsolete while WR11BL is active and currently in production.

For new designs or component replacement, WR11BL is the appropriate selection. The active status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support. The WR11BL carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards. Both parts maintain EN and UL approvals, confirming compliance with international safety and performance standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can WR11BL be used as a direct replacement for WR11BL/V?

A: Yes. WR11BL is a direct substitute for WR11BL/V. All electrical ratings (15A at 125V AC, 30V DC), mechanical specifications (panel cutout 34.20mm x 17.20mm, snap-in mounting), actuator characteristics (concave, ivory), and environmental ratings (IP67, -25°C to 85°C operating range) are identical.

Q: What is the difference between WR11BL/V and WR11BL?

A: The primary difference is product status. WR11BL/V is obsolete, while WR11BL is active. WR11BL also carries ROHS3 compliance certification. All functional and mechanical parameters remain unchanged.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. WR11BL/V is supplied in standard packaging, while WR11BL is available in bulk packaging. This distinction does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both WR11BL/V and WR11BL carry EN and UL approvals. WR11BL additionally carries ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: What panel cutout dimensions are required for installation?

A: Both parts require a rectangular panel cutout of 34.20mm x 17.20mm for snap-in mounting.

Q: What is the mechanical and electrical life expectancy?

A: Both parts are rated for 30,000 mechanical cycles and 15,000 electrical cycles under specified operating conditions.
