CN-0263 Change Notice JL Series Change to JL Tactiles LED Specifications Type of Change: Engineering Product Part Number Appearance The JL Illuminated Tactiles will have a change to the LED specifications for Red, Amber and Green. The change will effect all illuminated models, both standard and custom. The specification changes are outlined below, followed by effected standard part numbers. LED Changes for JL Illuminated Tactiles LED COLORS & SPECIFICATIONS LEDs are an integral part of the switch. The electrical specifications shown are determined at a basic temperature of 25°C. Red LED Model - 6 LEDs (+) (–) Amber & Green Models 8 LEDs (+) (–) Before Change C 1-color, 1-element LEDs grouped in arrays of 6 or 8.

The resistor value can be calculated by using the formula shown here. • The changes to LED specifications do not effect any external dimensions of the switches. • Contact the factory if further details are needed. 1.31mA/°C 1.2mA/°C –25°C ~ +50°C R + –25°C ~ +50°C IF Anode VF E – 1.6mA/°C R = Where: R = E = VF = Cathode IF = E – VF IF Resistor Value (Ohms) Source Voltage (V) Forward Voltage (V) Forward Current (A) JL PART NUMBERS EFFECTED BY LED SPECIFICATION CHANGES JL15SKSBCP2 JL15SKSBDP2 JL15SKSBFP2 JL15LSKSCCP2 JL15SKSDDP2 JL15SKSFFP2 Effective Date Changes to JL Tactiles LEDs will be effective April 2016. http://www.nkkswitches.com • 1.877.2BUYNKK (228.9655) 7850 East Gelding Drive • Scottsdale, AZ 85260 • Telephone 480.991.0942 • Fax 480.998.1435 2016/01/28 Engineering Department
