WR18AT/UCV Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The WR18AT/UCV is a rocker switch manufactured by NKK Switches, classified as SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) with a momentary-off-momentary (Mom-Off-Mom) switch function. This panel-mount, snap-in component is rated for 15A at 125V AC and 30V DC, featuring a concave black actuator with screw terminal connections and IP67 ingress protection.

The WR18AT/UCV is currently listed as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system functionality and ensure continued availability for applications requiring this switch specification.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the WR18AT/UCV is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following critical areas:

  • Circuit configuration (SPDT)
  • Switch function (Mom-Off-Mom)
  • Current and voltage ratings (15A AC/DC, 125V AC, 30V DC)
  • Mounting type and panel cutout dimensions (Panel Mount, Snap-In; 34.20mm x 17.20mm)
  • Actuator type and color (Concave, Black)
  • Termination style (Screw Terminal)
  • Ingress protection rating (IP67)
  • Operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C)
  • Mechanical and electrical life cycles (30,000 and 10,000 respectively)
  • Regulatory approvals (EN, UL)

The WR18AT/CUL meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

The WR18AT/CUL maintains active product status and includes ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, providing regulatory advantages for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Selection of WR18AT/CUL ensures functional equivalence while supporting current compliance requirements and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can WR18AT/CUL be used as a direct replacement for WR18AT/UCV?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters, including circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, mounting dimensions, and regulatory approvals.

Q: What is the difference between WR18AT/UCV and WR18AT/CUL?

A: The primary difference is product status. WR18AT/UCV is obsolete, while WR18AT/CUL is active. WR18AT/CUL additionally carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. All functional and electrical specifications remain identical.

Q: Are the panel cutout dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts require a rectangular panel cutout of 34.20mm x 17.20mm and use identical snap-in mounting.

Q: Do both parts have the same termination style?

A: Yes. Both parts use screw terminal connections.

Q: What regulatory approvals apply to both parts?

A: Both WR18AT/UCV and WR18AT/CUL carry EN and UL approvals.
