WR13AF/UCV Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The WR13AF/UCV is a rocker switch manufactured by NKK Switches, designed for panel-mount applications requiring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) switching functionality. This component operates at 15A (AC/DC) with a 125V AC / 30V DC voltage rating and features a concave black actuator with quick-connect 0.250" (6.3mm) termination. The WR13AF/UCV is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the WR13AF/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)
• Actuator type and color (Concave, Black)
• Termination style (Quick Connect - 0.250")
• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Snap-In)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Rectangular - 34.20mm x 17.20mm)
• Ingress protection rating (IP67)
• Operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 85°C)
• Approval agencies (EN, UL)

The WR13AF/CUL meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WR13AF/CUL is the direct equivalent for the obsolete WR13AF/UCV. Both components share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and regulatory certifications (EN, UL). The WR13AF/CUL carries active product status and includes ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, providing regulatory advantages for new designs and long-term availability assurance. For applications currently using WR13AF/UCV, direct substitution with WR13AF/CUL is supported without circuit modification or mechanical redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can WR13AF/CUL be used as a direct replacement for WR13AF/UCV?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by NKK Switches and share identical electrical ratings (15A at 125V AC / 30V DC), circuit configuration (SPDT), actuator specifications, termination style, mounting type, and panel cutout dimensions. The WR13AF/CUL is the active equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between WR13AF/UCV and WR13AF/CUL?

A: The primary difference is product status. WR13AF/UCV is obsolete, while WR13AF/CUL is active. Additionally, WR13AF/CUL includes ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. All functional and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: WR13AF/UCV is supplied in standard packaging, while WR13AF/CUL is supplied in bulk packaging. This does not affect component functionality or electrical performance.

Q: Do these switches require any special handling or installation considerations?

A: Both switches feature IP67 ingress protection and epoxy sealed terminals. Installation follows standard panel-mount snap-in procedures with the specified rectangular cutout dimensions of 34.20mm x 17.20mm. Quick-connect 0.250" (6.3mm) termination is used for both parts.

Q: What regulatory certifications apply to these switches?

A: Both WR13AF/UCV and WR13AF/CUL carry EN and UL approvals. WR13AF/CUL additionally meets ROHS3 compliance requirements.
