Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the WR13BT/V is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration must be SPDT
• Switch function must be On-Off-On
• Current rating must be 15A (AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings must match: 125V AC and 30V DC minimum
• Mounting type must be Panel Mount, Snap-In
• Termination style must be Screw Terminal
• Ingress protection must be IP67 or equivalent
• Panel cutout dimensions must be Rectangular - 34.20mm x 17.20mm
• Operating temperature range must encompass -25°C to 85°C
• Mechanical life must be 30,000 cycles or greater
• Electrical life must be 10,000 cycles or greater

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

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WR13BT (without the /V suffix) is a direct equivalent to the WR13BT/V. Both parts are manufactured by NKK Switches and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The primary distinction is product status: WR13BT/V is obsolete, while WR13BT is active and carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The WR13BT is available in bulk packaging with higher inventory levels (1092 pcs vs. 883 pcs), making it the preferred selection for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Both parts carry EN and UL approvals, meeting the same regulatory standards. Selection between these parts should be based on availability requirements and compliance documentation needs for your specific application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can WR13BT be used as a direct replacement for WR13BT/V?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The WR13BT is the active production equivalent of the obsolete WR13BT/V.

Q: What is the difference between WR13BT/V and WR13BT?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active) and packaging (not specified vs. bulk). The WR13BT includes RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status documentation. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any panel cutout dimension differences?

A: No. Both parts require an identical rectangular panel cutout of 34.20mm x 17.20mm. No mechanical redesign is necessary when substituting between these parts.

Q: Do both parts have the same termination style?

A: Yes. Both WR13BT/V and WR13BT use screw terminal connections with epoxy sealed terminals for IP67 protection.

Q: What are the voltage and current limits for substitution?

A: Both parts are rated for 15A at 125V AC and 30V DC. Substitution is valid only for applications within these electrical specifications.

Q: Is the operating temperature range the same?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -25°C to 85°C. No thermal derating is required when substituting between these parts.

Q: How many mechanical cycles are guaranteed?

A: Both parts are rated for 30,000 mechanical cycles and 10,000 electrical cycles. These specifications apply equally to WR13BT/V and WR13BT.
