WR11BS/V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The WR11BS/V is a rocker switch manufactured by NKK Switches, classified as SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) with On-Off functionality. This panel-mount, snap-in switch is rated for 15A at 125V AC and 30V DC, featuring a concave ivory actuator with solder lug termination and IP67 ingress protection. The WR11BS/V is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing maintenance, repair, and system continuity in applications requiring SPST rocker switch functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the WR11BS/V is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPST)
• Switch function (On-Off)
• Current rating (15A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (125V AC, 30V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Snap-In)
• Actuator type (Concave)
• Termination style (Solder Lug)
• Ingress protection rating (IP67)
• Panel cutout dimensions (34.20mm x 17.20mm)
• Operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C)
• Mechanical and electrical life specifications

The WR11BS (Bulk packaging variant) from NKK Switches meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent to the WR11BS/V.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WR11BS serves as a direct substitute for the obsolete WR11BS/V. Both parts are manufactured by NKK Switches and share identical electrical, mechanical, and dimensional specifications. The WR11BS is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability.

The WR11BS carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement. Both parts maintain EN and UL approvals, ensuring compatibility with systems requiring these certifications.

Selection of the WR11BS over the WR11BS/V is justified by product availability, active manufacturing status, and regulatory compliance documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WR11BS directly replace the WR11BS/V in existing applications?

A: Yes. The WR11BS is electrically and mechanically identical to the WR11BS/V across all specified parameters, including current rating, voltage rating, mounting configuration, and panel cutout dimensions.

Q: What is the difference between WR11BS/V and WR11BS?

A: The primary difference is packaging and product status. The WR11BS/V is obsolete, while the WR11BS is active production. Both parts are functionally equivalent SPST rocker switches with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The WR11BS includes documented ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Both parts maintain EN and UL approvals. The WR11BS is the recommended choice for new designs and applications requiring current regulatory compliance documentation.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution?

A: Substitution requires matching circuit configuration (SPST), current rating (15A AC/DC), voltage ratings (125V AC, 30V DC), mounting type (Panel Mount, Snap-In), termination style (Solder Lug), ingress protection (IP67), and panel cutout dimensions (34.20mm x 17.20mm).

Q: Is the panel cutout dimension critical for substitution?

A: Yes. The rectangular panel cutout dimension of 34.20mm x 17.20mm is a mechanical requirement for proper snap-in installation. Any substitute must match this specification exactly.
