### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number
The alphanumeric code describes every physical and electrical characteristic of the component:
* **YB2**: Series designation (YB series pushbuttons).
* **16**: Represents the electrical capacity and circuit configuration (DPDT).
* **CW**: Indicates a "Panel Seal" version with a circular mounting nut.
* **CK**: Designates the "Flush Mount" housing style.
* **W01**: Indicates Silver Contacts (rated for power applications).
* **5F**: Specifies the LED voltage/color. In this case, it is a **Green LED**.
* **JS**: Refers to the cap type—a Metallic Silver insert with a Clear lens.

### 3. Key Electronic Features
#### A. DPDT Switching (Double Pole Double Throw)
This switch controls two separate circuits simultaneously. Because it is an **ON-ON** (Latching) switch, it stays in the depressed position after being pushed and returns only after being pushed again. This is ideal for power toggles.
#### B. Integrated LED Illumination
The "5F" designation indicates a Green LED. This LED is independent of the switch circuit, allowing it to be wired as:
1. **Always On:** To act as a pilot light.
2. **Switched On:** To indicate that the device is currently active.
#### C. IP65 Rating
The "CW" part of the code means it is supplied with an O-ring. This makes the front panel **IP65 rated**, protecting the internal electronics from dust and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for industrial or outdoor panels.
#### D. Solder Lug Terminals
The rear of the switch features epoxy-sealed solder lugs. This prevents flux or contaminants from entering the contact area during the soldering process.
