WR15AFN/V Rocker Switch SPDT 15A 125V - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The WR15AFN/V is a panel-mount rocker switch manufactured by NKK Switches, featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuitry with 15A AC/DC current rating at 125V AC / 30V DC. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing system support and procurement planning. The switch provides IP67 ingress protection with epoxy-sealed terminals and operates across -25°C to 85°C temperature range.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the WR15AFN/V is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-Mom)
• Current rating (15A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (125V AC / 30V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Snap-In)
• Actuator type and color (Concave, Black)
• Termination style (Quick Connect - 0.250")
• Panel cutout dimensions (Rectangular - 34.20mm x 17.20mm)
• Ingress protection rating (IP67)
• Operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C)
• Approval certifications (EN, UL)

The WR15AFN represents the active equivalent to the obsolete WR15AFN/V variant, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved product status and compliance documentation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WR15AFN serves as the direct active equivalent to the obsolete WR15AFN/V. Both components share identical electrical ratings, mechanical specifications, and panel mounting dimensions. The primary distinction is product status: WR15AFN/V is obsolete while WR15AFN is active.

The WR15AFN provides enhanced compliance documentation, including explicit ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, which are relevant for applications subject to environmental regulations. Both variants maintain EN and UL certifications, ensuring compatibility with regulated industrial and commercial applications.

For new designs or system replacements, WR15AFN is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where WR15AFN/V components remain in inventory, direct substitution with WR15AFN is electrically and mechanically valid.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can WR15AFN directly replace WR15AFN/V in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters: SPDT circuit, 15A AC/DC rating, 125V AC / 30V DC voltage ratings, panel mount snap-in configuration, and IP67 ingress protection. Panel cutout dimensions and termination styles are identical.

Q: What is the difference between WR15AFN/V and WR15AFN?

A: The primary difference is product status. WR15AFN/V is classified as obsolete, while WR15AFN is active. WR15AFN provides explicit ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected documentation. All electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: WR15AFN/V packaging is specified as "-" (not detailed), while WR15AFN is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction affects procurement and inventory management but does not impact component functionality or compatibility.

Q: What certifications apply to both variants?

A: Both WR15AFN/V and WR15AFN carry EN and UL approvals, meeting international and North American regulatory requirements for panel-mount switches in industrial and commercial applications.

Q: Can these switches be used in DC applications?

A: Yes. Both components are rated for 15A AC/DC operation at 30V DC maximum, enabling use in DC circuits within specified voltage and current limits.
