WR15AF/V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The WR15AF/V is a rocker switch manufactured by NKK Switches, classified as SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) with a 15A AC/DC rating at 125V AC and 30V DC. This panel-mount, snap-in switch features a concave black actuator with quick connect 0.250" (6.3mm) termination and IP67 ingress protection. The WR15AF/V is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where this switch type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The WR15AF (without the /V suffix designation) serves as the direct substitute for the WR15AF/V. Substitution is valid based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters: both parts maintain identical SPDT circuit configuration, 15A AC/DC current rating, 125V AC and 30V DC voltage ratings, panel mount snap-in installation method, quick connect 0.250" termination, concave black actuator, IP67 ingress protection, and rectangular 34.20mm x 17.20mm panel cutout dimensions. Operating temperature range, mechanical life (30,000 cycles), and electrical life (10,000 cycles) are identical across both parts. The key distinction is product status: WR15AF/V is obsolete while WR15AF is active, and packaging differs (WR15AF/V uses standard packaging while WR15AF is supplied in bulk). Both parts carry EN and UL approvals and feature epoxy sealed terminals.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WR15AF is the direct substitute for the obsolete WR15AF/V. Both parts are manufactured by NKK Switches and share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and functional characteristics. The WR15AF is preferred for new applications and replacements due to its active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification. Both parts maintain EN and UL approvals, ensuring regulatory compliance in applications requiring these certifications. The transition from WR15AF/V to WR15AF involves no functional compromise; the substitute provides equivalent performance with improved availability and compliance documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can WR15AF directly replace WR15AF/V in existing applications? A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with matching SPDT configuration, 15A AC/DC current rating, 125V AC and 30V DC voltage ratings, panel mount snap-in installation, quick connect 0.250" termination, and IP67 ingress protection. Panel cutout dimensions are identical at 34.20mm x 17.20mm.

Q: What is the difference between WR15AF/V and WR15AF? A: The primary differences are product status (WR15AF/V is obsolete; WR15AF is active), packaging format (standard versus bulk), and compliance documentation (WR15AF includes ROHS3 certification). Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting WR15AF for WR15AF/V? A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts feature identical termination style (quick connect 0.250"), actuator type (concave black), and panel mounting specifications. Direct substitution is possible without circuit or mechanical modifications.

Q: What certifications apply to both parts? A: Both WR15AF/V and WR15AF carry EN and UL approvals. The WR15AF additionally includes ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: Are operating conditions identical between the two parts? A: Yes. Both parts operate across -25°C to 85°C temperature range with 30,000 mechanical life cycles and 10,000 electrical life cycles. Epoxy sealed terminals provide identical environmental protection in both versions.
