Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the WR13BS/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, Ivory)
• 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 WR13BS/CUL meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is product status: WR13BS/UCV is obsolete, while WR13BS/CUL is active production.
