Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Honeywell 13AT97-T Toggle Switch

Part Overview

The Honeywell 13AT97-T is a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) toggle switch rated for 1A at 30V DC, designed for panel mount applications with a standard round actuator. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The switch features solder turret termination and a circular 12.40mm diameter panel cutout, suitable for applications requiring reliable on-off-momentary switching functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 13AT97-T is determined by the following critical parameters that must align across candidate parts:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration: DPDT topology
• Switch function: On-Off-Mom operation
• Current rating: 1A minimum
• Mounting type: Panel Mount
• Panel cutout dimensions: Circular 12.40mm diameter
• Bushing thread: 15/32-32
• Termination compatibility with solder turret or equivalent connection method

Voltage Compatibility Consideration: The 13AT97-T operates at 30V DC. Substitute parts must support the application voltage requirement. Parts rated for higher voltage ratings (such as 115V AC or 28V DC) are electrically compatible for lower voltage applications within their specified ranges.

Actuator Geometry: Panel mount toggle switches with actuator lengths between 19.05mm and 19.81mm and compatible actuator profiles maintain functional equivalence for standard panel installations.

The Honeywell 13AT219-5-C02 meets all mandatory substitution criteria while offering active product status and enhanced environmental sealing.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The 13AT97-T is classified as obsolete. The 13AT219-5-C02 maintains active product status within the Honeywell AT series, ensuring continued availability, technical support, and manufacturing consistency for future procurement cycles.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts are RoHS Compliant and carry MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited), meeting environmental and moisture sensitivity requirements for standard industrial applications. Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.50.9065.

Electrical Compatibility: The 13AT219-5-C02 operates at 28V DC, which is within the operational envelope of the 13AT97-T's 30V DC rating. The substitute part's AC rating of 115V provides additional operational flexibility for mixed-voltage applications.

Mechanical and Interface Compatibility: Both parts share identical panel cutout dimensions (12.40mm circular) and bushing thread specifications (15/32-32), ensuring direct mechanical compatibility in existing panel installations. The actuator length difference of 0.76mm (19.05mm versus 19.81mm) falls within standard tolerance ranges for toggle switch panel applications.

Termination Consideration: The main part uses solder turret termination while the substitute employs quick connect 0.058" round terminals. Circuit board or wiring harness modifications may be required to accommodate this termination style change.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 13AT219-5-C02 directly replace the 13AT97-T in existing applications?

A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed for DC applications up to 30V. The panel cutout and bushing thread specifications are identical. However, the termination style differs (solder turret versus quick connect), requiring connection method adaptation. The substitute part's 28V DC rating is suitable for 30V applications operating below maximum rated voltage.

Q: What is the significance of the actuator type difference (Standard Round versus Flatted)?

A: Both actuator types are compatible with standard toggle switch panel openings. The flatted actuator on the 13AT219-5-C02 provides directional tactile feedback. This is a functional enhancement rather than a compatibility limitation.

Q: Does the 13AT219-5-C02 offer environmental advantages over the 13AT97-T?

A: The 13AT219-5-C02 includes environment sealed ingress protection, whereas the 13AT97-T does not specify ingress protection. This provides enhanced protection against moisture and contaminant ingress in sealed enclosure applications.

Q: Are there voltage limitations when substituting the 13AT97-T with the 13AT219-5-C02?

A: The 13AT219-5-C02 is rated for 28V DC, which is 2V below the 13AT97-T's 30V DC rating. For applications operating at or near 30V DC, the substitute part operates at reduced voltage margin. For applications operating below 28V DC, no voltage limitation exists.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to the 13AT219-5-C02?

A: The substitute part is supplied in bulk packaging. The main part packaging is not specified in available documentation. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement and inventory management processes.

Q: Is the current rating of 1A sufficient for both parts?

A: Both parts are rated for 1A. The 13AT219-5-C02 supports 1A for both AC and DC operation, while the 13AT97-T is rated for 1A DC. Current requirements must not exceed 1A in either configuration.
