WR13AS/V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The WR13AS/V is a rocker switch manufactured by NKK Switches, classified as SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) with On-Off-On functionality. This panel-mount, snap-in switch is rated for 15A at 125V AC and 30V DC, featuring a concave black actuator with solder lug termination and IP67 ingress protection. The WR13AS/V is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing maintenance, repair, and system continuity in applications where this switch was originally specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the WR13AS/V is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following areas:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-Off-On)
• Current and voltage ratings (15A AC/DC, 125V AC, 30V DC)
• Mounting method (Panel Mount, Snap-In)
• Actuator type and color (Concave, Black)
• 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 cycles (30,000 and 10,000 respectively)
• Regulatory approvals (EN, UL)

The WR13AS (bulk packaging variant) meets all these criteria and serves as a direct substitute for the WR13AS/V.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WR13AS serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete WR13AS/V. Both parts are manufactured by NKK Switches and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status: WR13AS/V is obsolete, while WR13AS is active and currently in production with significantly higher inventory availability (29,388 pieces versus 1,172 pieces).

The WR13AS is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and replacements. Both parts carry EN and UL approvals, ensuring compliance with international safety standards. The WR13AS is suitable for direct substitution in all applications where the WR13AS/V was originally specified, with no design modifications required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WR13AS be used as a direct replacement for the WR13AS/V?

A: Yes. The WR13AS is electrically and mechanically identical to the WR13AS/V. All critical parameters—circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, mounting dimensions, actuator specifications, and regulatory approvals—are equivalent. No circuit modifications or mechanical adjustments are necessary.

Q: What is the difference between WR13AS/V and WR13AS?

A: The WR13AS/V is packaged in individual units and is obsolete. The WR13AS is supplied in bulk packaging and is currently in active production. Functionally and electrically, they are identical.

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

A: The WR13AS carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, reflecting current regulatory standards. Both parts maintain EN and UL approvals. The WR13AS is recommended for new applications and long-term availability.

Q: Will the WR13AS fit the same panel cutout as the WR13AS/V?

A: Yes. Both parts require an identical rectangular panel cutout of 34.20mm x 17.20mm and use the same snap-in mounting method.

Q: What is the inventory status for the WR13AS?

A: The WR13AS has 29,388 pieces in stock, providing reliable availability for immediate procurement. The obsolete WR13AS/V has limited remaining inventory of 1,172 pieces.
