AM1107K Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AM1107K is a snap action switch manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, configured as a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) panel mount device rated for 15A at 125V AC. This component features an overtravel plunger actuator with solder lug termination and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, identifying functionally equivalent substitute parts is essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where this switching function is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AM1107K is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Must be SPDT to maintain identical switching logic
• Current Rating: Must support minimum 15A AC to ensure load capacity compatibility
• Voltage Rating: Must support minimum 125V AC to maintain electrical safety margins
• Actuator Type: Must be overtravel plunger to ensure mechanical compatibility with existing mounting and actuation mechanisms
• Mounting Type: Must be panel mount to fit existing mechanical installations
• Termination Style: Must be solder lug to maintain electrical connection compatibility
• Switch Function: Must be On-Momentary to preserve operational behavior

The BZ-2RQ1 manufactured by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions meets all these critical parameters and qualifies as a direct functional substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BZ-2RQ1 is the qualified substitute for the AM1107K based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters match exactly, including circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, actuator type, mounting configuration, and termination style.

Compliance Status: The BZ-2RQ1 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, providing superior regulatory compliance compared to the obsolete AM1107K. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications.

Product Availability: The BZ-2RQ1 maintains active product status with documented inventory availability, ensuring long-term supply chain reliability for new designs and replacement applications.

Mechanical Specifications: The BZ-2RQ1 provides additional documented mechanical parameters including operating force (255–368 gf), release force (113 gf), operating position (0.859"), and mechanical life rating (20,000,000 cycles), supporting detailed system design validation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BZ-2RQ1 directly replace the AM1107K in existing installations?

A: Yes. The BZ-2RQ1 matches all critical parameters: SPDT circuit, 15A AC current rating, 125V AC voltage rating, overtravel plunger actuator, panel mount configuration, and solder lug termination. Physical and electrical compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the difference in DC current rating between these parts?

A: The AM1107K specifies only AC ratings (15A at 125V AC). The BZ-2RQ1 specifies both AC and DC ratings (15A AC, 500mA DC at 125V DC). For AC-only applications, this difference is not relevant. DC applications must observe the 500mA DC limit of the BZ-2RQ1.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the AM1107K and BZ-2RQ1?

A: The BZ-2RQ1 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, providing enhanced regulatory compliance. Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications. The BZ-2RQ1 is recommended for new designs requiring modern compliance standards.

Q: What packaging is available for the BZ-2RQ1?

A: The BZ-2RQ1 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process before ordering.

Q: Are mechanical life specifications available for the AM1107K?

A: The AM1107K does not provide documented mechanical life specifications. The BZ-2RQ1 specifies 20,000,000 cycles mechanical life, supporting detailed reliability analysis for critical applications.
