Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the YB16SKW01-12-EB is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Current and voltage ratings (3A AC/DC, 125V AC, 30V DC)
• Mounting type and panel cutout dimensions (Panel Mount, Front; 16.00mm circular)
• Termination style (Solder, Quick Connect - 0.110")
• Operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 50°C)
• Mechanical and electrical life specifications (200,000 and 100,000 cycles respectively)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3)

The YB16SKW01-5D12-JD meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct functional substitute. Differences in illumination technology (incandescent vs. LED) and illumination voltage (12 VAC vs. 12 VDC) do not affect core switching functionality but must be evaluated within the context of the specific application's control circuitry.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The YB16SKW01-5D12-JD is the qualified substitute for the obsolete YB16SKW01-12-EB. Both components maintain identical electrical switching characteristics, mechanical durability specifications, and regulatory compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected).

The primary distinction between these parts is the illumination subsystem: the main part uses incandescent illumination at 12 VAC, while the substitute employs LED illumination at 12 VDC. This difference requires verification that the application's control circuitry can supply 12 VDC to the illumination circuit. If the existing system is designed exclusively for 12 VAC incandescent loads, additional power supply modification may be necessary.

The YB16SKW01-5D12-JD carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can YB16SKW01-5D12-JD be used as a direct replacement for YB16SKW01-12-EB in all applications?

A: The switching function is directly compatible. However, the illumination voltage differs (12 VDC vs. 12 VAC). Verify that your control circuitry can supply 12 VDC before implementation. If your system provides only 12 VAC, the illumination will not function with the substitute part.

Q: What are the key parameters that make these parts interchangeable?

A: Interchangeability is based on matching SPDT circuit configuration, 3A/125V AC and 30V DC ratings, panel mount front installation with 16.00mm circular cutout, 0.110" quick connect termination, -25°C to 50°C operating range, 200,000 mechanical cycles, and 100,000 electrical cycles.

Q: Does the LED illumination in the substitute part affect switching performance?

A: No. The LED illumination is a separate subsystem from the switching contacts. Electrical switching performance remains identical between the incandescent and LED versions.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part YB16SKW01-12-EB is listed with "-" packaging designation, while the substitute YB16SKW01-5D12-JD is supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm bulk packaging meets your procurement and handling requirements.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: YB16SKW01-12-EB (obsolete) has 1062 pieces in stock. YB16SKW01-5D12-JD (active) has 1033 pieces in stock. Availability may change; verify current stock status with your supplier.
