Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Honeywell 1CPSC5 Snap Action Switch

Part Overview

The Honeywell 1CPSC5 is a snap action switch featuring DPST (Double Pole Single Throw) configuration with dual contact arrangements (NO/NC). This component operates at 50mA with 250V AC and 60V DC ratings, designed for general-purpose on-off switching applications. The switch is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent components to maintain supply chain continuity and support ongoing production requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1CPSC5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration: DPST-NO/NC
• Switch function: On-Off, Off-On operation
• Current rating: 50mA (AC/DC)
• Voltage rating: 250V AC / 60V DC
• Ingress protection: IP67 classification
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 80°C
• Series family: CPS
• Manufacturer: Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions
• RoHS compliance status
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The 1CPSA5 qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all specified electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: 1CPSA5 is active and currently manufactured, whereas 1CPSC5 is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1CPSA5 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 1CPSC5. Both components share identical electrical specifications, mechanical characteristics, and compliance certifications. The 1CPSA5 maintains active production status with Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability.

Selection of the 1CPSA5 is supported by:

• Complete electrical parameter equivalence across AC and DC voltage ratings
• Identical current handling capacity at 50mA
• Matching circuit configuration and switching function
• Equivalent environmental protection rating (IP67)
• Identical operating temperature range
• Consistent RoHS compliance and MSL classification
• Same manufacturer and series family

The transition from 1CPSC5 to 1CPSA5 presents no functional or performance trade-offs for applications requiring DPST snap action switching at the specified voltage and current levels.
