WR15AS/V Rocker Switch SPDT 15A 125V - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The WR15AS/V is a panel-mount rocker switch manufactured by NKK Switches, featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuitry with On-Mom (momentary) switching function. Rated for 15A at 125V AC and 30V DC, this switch is designed for applications requiring reliable switching with IP67 ingress protection and epoxy-sealed terminals. The WR15AS/V is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent active alternatives essential for ongoing procurement and system maintenance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the WR15AS/V is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: SPDT only
• Switch Function: On-Mom (momentary) operation
• Current Rating: 15A (AC/DC)
• Voltage Ratings: 125V AC minimum; 30V DC minimum
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Snap-In
• Actuator Type: Concave (Curved)
• Actuator Color: Black
• Termination Style: Solder Lug
• Ingress Protection: IP67 minimum
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: Rectangular - 34.20mm x 17.20mm
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C to 85°C minimum
• Approval Agencies: EN and UL certification required

The WR15AS (without the /V suffix variant designation) from NKK Switches meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an active product, providing a direct equivalent for the obsolete WR15AS/V.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WR15AS is the direct equivalent for the obsolete WR15AS/V. Both parts are manufactured by NKK Switches within the WR series and share identical electrical, mechanical, and dimensional specifications. The WR15AS maintains active product status and carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, providing regulatory continuity for new designs and system updates.

Selection of the WR15AS over the obsolete WR15AS/V is supported by:

• Identical electrical performance across all rated parameters
• Matching mechanical specifications and panel cutout dimensions
• Equivalent EN and UL certifications
• Active manufacturing status ensuring long-term availability
• Enhanced regulatory compliance documentation (ROHS3, REACH)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WR15AS directly replace the WR15AS/V in existing applications?

A: Yes. The WR15AS is electrically and mechanically identical to the WR15AS/V. Both parts feature SPDT circuitry, 15A/125V AC rating, On-Mom switching function, identical panel cutout dimensions (34.20mm x 17.20mm), and matching solder lug termination. Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between WR15AS/V and WR15AS?

A: The WR15AS/V is classified as obsolete, while the WR15AS is an active product. The /V suffix designation on the obsolete variant does not indicate a functional difference. All electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent. The primary distinction is product status and availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The WR15AS/V was supplied in standard packaging (not specified), while the WR15AS is available in bulk packaging. Both parts are identical in form, fit, and function. Packaging selection depends on procurement volume requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the WR15AS/V and WR15AS carry EN and UL approvals. The WR15AS additionally documents ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing enhanced regulatory traceability for modern applications.

Q: What is the panel cutout requirement for installation?

A: Both parts require a rectangular panel cutout of 34.20mm x 17.20mm for snap-in mounting. This dimension is identical across both variants, ensuring mechanical compatibility in existing panel designs.

Q: Are there any environmental or temperature limitations?

A: Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -25°C to 85°C and maintain IP67 ingress protection (dust tight, waterproof). Environmental performance is equivalent between the two variants.
