WR13BSN/V Rocker Switch SPDT 15A 125V - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The WR13BSN/V is a panel-mount rocker switch manufactured by NKK Switches, featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuitry with On-Off-On switching function. Rated for 15A at 125V AC and 30V DC, this component is designed for applications requiring sealed, waterproof switching with IP67 ingress protection. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent models essential for procurement and design continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the WR13BSN/V is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: SPDT only
• Switch Function: On-Off-On operation
• Current Rating: 15A (AC/DC)
• Voltage Ratings: 125V AC and 30V DC minimum
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Snap-In
• Actuator Type: Concave (Curved)
• Termination Style: Solder Lug
• Ingress Protection: IP67 with epoxy sealed terminals
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: Rectangular - 34.20mm x 17.20mm
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C to 85°C
• Mechanical Life: 30,000 Cycles minimum
• Electrical Life: 10,000 Cycles minimum

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct equivalents and may be substituted without design modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WR13BSN is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete WR13BSN/V. Both parts are manufactured by NKK Switches within the WR series and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and dimensional specifications. The primary distinction is product status: WR13BSN/V is obsolete while WR13BSN is active and currently in production.

For new designs or component replacement, WR13BSN is the appropriate selection. The active part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. Both parts maintain identical panel cutout dimensions (34.20mm x 17.20mm), ensuring mechanical compatibility in existing panel designs without modification.

All electrical parameters, including 15A current rating at 125V AC and 30V DC, IP67 ingress protection with epoxy sealed terminals, and operational temperature range of -25°C to 85°C, are preserved in the equivalent part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can WR13BSN be used as a direct replacement for WR13BSN/V in existing designs?

A: Yes. WR13BSN is a direct equivalent with identical electrical ratings, mechanical specifications, and panel cutout dimensions. No design modification is required.

Q: Are the panel cutout dimensions identical between WR13BSN/V and WR13BSN?

A: Yes. Both parts require a rectangular panel cutout of 34.20mm x 17.20mm. Existing panel designs require no modification.

Q: What is the difference between WR13BSN/V and WR13BSN?

A: The primary difference is product status. WR13BSN/V is obsolete, while WR13BSN is active and in current production. WR13BSN also carries ROHS3 compliance certification. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are both parts rated for the same voltage and current?

A: Yes. Both WR13BSN/V and WR13BSN are rated for 15A at 125V AC and 30V DC with identical ingress protection (IP67) and sealed terminal construction.

Q: What certifications apply to these parts?

A: Both parts carry EN and UL approvals. WR13BSN additionally carries ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: Can these switches be used in applications requiring waterproof operation?

A: Yes. Both parts feature IP67 ingress protection (dust tight, waterproof) with epoxy sealed terminals, suitable for sealed enclosure applications.
