The **YB225CWCPG01-5F-JB** is a high-quality, panel-mount push-button switch manufactured by **NKK Switches**. It belongs to the YB2 series, specifically designed for tamper resistance and environmental sealing. --- ### ## Technical Specifications Below is a breakdown of the electrical and mechanical characteristics of this component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Switch Type** | Pushbutton (Square, Flush Mount) | | **Circuit** | DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) | | **Switch Function** | ON-ON (Alternate Action/Latching) | | **Current Rating** | 3A @ 125/250V AC or 3A @ 30V DC | | **Illumination** | Green LED (Super Bright) | | **Actuator Type** | Rectangular, Clear Lens with White Filter | | **Ingress Protection** | IP65 (Dust tight, Water resistant) | | **Termination Style** | Solder Lug | --- ### ### Key Electronic Components #### 1. Switching Mechanism (DPDT) The **Double Pole Double Throw** configuration means the switch controls two separate circuits simultaneously. Each circuit can toggle between two different output paths. The "Alternate Action" means the switch clicks and stays in position until pressed again (Latching). #### 2. Illumination (LED) * **Color:** Green (Code: 5F). * **Voltage/Current:** Typically requires a series resistor if not integrated, though some YB2 models are rated for specific voltages. * **Design:** Uses a "Super Bright" LED to ensure visibility even in high-ambient light conditions. #### 3. Contacts and Terminals * **Material:** Silver alloy contacts, often gold-plated to prevent oxidation and ensure low contact resistance over the component's lifespan. * **Rating:** Capable of handling power-level switching (up to 3 Amps), making it suitable for direct control of small motors or relays. --- ### ### Part Number Breakdown To better understand the specific parts of this unit: * **YB225:** Series designation (22mm mounting hole, square). * **CW:** "Customizable" / Splashproof (IP65 rated). * **CPG:** Metal shroud/bezel type and internal contact material. * **01:** Solder lug terminals. * **5F:** Green LED (Super Bright). * **JB:** Clear lens with a white insert/diffuser. --- ### ### Typical Applications * **Industrial Control Panels:** Due to the IP65 rating and rugged build. * **Medical Equipment:** Easy to clean and highly reliable. * **Communication Systems:** Used for toggling modes or power states where visual feedback (LED) is required.
