Omron A22RL-FA-A Configurable Switch Body Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Omron A22RL-FA-A is a configurable switch body designed for pushbutton applications with round illuminated actuator in blue. This component functions as the mechanical housing and interface for modular contact blocks and illumination sources. The A22RL-FA-A is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent components to maintain design continuity and ensure ongoing component availability for new production and field replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the A22RL-FA-A is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Actuator Type: Pushbutton, Round
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: 22.3mm (Round)
• Illumination: Illuminated - Blue
• Switch Type: Maintained
• Manufacturer Compatibility: Omron Automation and Safety
• Modular Architecture: Requires Contact Block(s) and Illumination Source

The A22NZ-BGA-TAA qualifies as a functional equivalent based on matching all critical mechanical and electrical interface parameters. While the A22NZ-BGA-TAA belongs to the A22NL series rather than the A22RL series, both series share identical panel cutout dimensions and modular contact block compatibility, enabling direct mechanical and functional substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The A22NZ-BGA-TAA is the qualified substitute for the obsolete A22RL-FA-A. Selection of the A22NZ-BGA-TAA provides the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures continued availability and manufacturing support
• RoHS compliance aligns with current regulatory requirements for new designs and production
• Identical mechanical interface (22.3mm round panel cutout) enables direct installation compatibility
• Matching modular architecture supports existing contact block and illumination source configurations
• Equivalent electrical and functional characteristics maintain system performance

For applications subject to RoHS compliance mandates, the A22NZ-BGA-TAA is the required selection. For legacy systems where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable, the A22RL-FA-A remains functionally equivalent but is no longer manufactured.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the A22NZ-BGA-TAA directly replace the A22RL-FA-A in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical panel cutout dimensions (22.3mm round), actuator type (pushbutton, round), illumination color (blue), and switch type (maintained). The modular architecture of both components allows contact blocks and illumination sources to be transferred or reused.

Q: What is the primary difference between the A22RL-FA-A and A22NZ-BGA-TAA?

A: The A22NZ-BGA-TAA is an active product with RoHS compliance, while the A22RL-FA-A is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. Both components are functionally equivalent for mechanical and electrical interface purposes.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The A22RL-FA-A is supplied in standard packaging, while the A22NZ-BGA-TAA is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect component functionality or compatibility.

Q: What parameters must match for a valid substitution?

A: Critical matching parameters include panel cutout dimensions, actuator type, illumination color, switch type (maintained), and modular contact block compatibility. These parameters determine mechanical fit and functional equivalence.

Q: Is the A22NZ-BGA-TAA suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. The A22NZ-BGA-TAA is an active product with RoHS compliance and is appropriate for new design implementations requiring configurable pushbutton switch bodies with round illuminated actuators.
