Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the WR13AFN/UCV is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Circuit configuration (SPDT)
  • Switch function (On-Off-On)
  • Current rating (15A AC/DC)
  • Voltage ratings (125V AC, 30V DC)
  • Mounting type (Panel Mount, Snap-In)
  • Actuator type and color (Concave, Black)
  • Termination style (Quick Connect - 0.250")
  • Panel cutout dimensions (Rectangular - 34.20mm x 17.20mm)
  • Ingress protection rating (IP67)
  • Operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C)
  • Mechanical and electrical life specifications

The WR13AFN/CUL meets all these parameters identically, establishing it as a direct functional equivalent. The primary distinction is product status: WR13AFN/UCV is obsolete, while WR13AFN/CUL is active in production.
