AM1713F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AM1713F is a snap action switch manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, configured as a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) device with on-momentary function. This component is rated for 10A AC at 125V and features a lever roller actuator with chassis mount configuration and screw terminal termination. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for system maintenance, repair, and redesign applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AM1713F is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent or exceed the original specification:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT (maintained)
• Switch function: On-momentary (maintained)
• Voltage rating: 125V AC minimum (maintained or exceeded)
• Actuator type: Lever with roller (maintained)
• Mounting type: Chassis mount (maintained)
• Termination style: Screw terminal (maintained)

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Current rating: Minimum 10A AC (equal or higher acceptable)
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass or exceed -25°C to 80°C
• Mechanical life: Minimum 1,500,000 cycles (equal or higher acceptable)

The BZ-2RW822-A2 from Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions satisfies all primary criteria and exceeds secondary specifications, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete AM1713F.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BZ-2RW822-A2 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete AM1713F based on the following engineering factors:

Functional Equivalence: All primary electrical and mechanical parameters match or exceed the original specification. The SPDT circuit configuration, on-momentary function, 125V rating, and screw terminal termination are identical. The lever roller actuator and chassis mount configuration provide mechanical compatibility.

Performance Enhancement: The substitute part exceeds the original in three critical areas: AC current rating (15A versus 10A), operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C versus -25°C to 80°C), and mechanical life (20,000,000 cycles versus 1,500,000 cycles). These enhancements provide improved reliability margins without introducing incompatibility.

Compliance and Availability: The BZ-2RW822-A2 holds active product status with RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Current inventory availability (2,236 units) ensures supply continuity for production and maintenance applications.

Certification Alignment: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and MSL (1 - Unlimited) classifications, maintaining regulatory consistency in system documentation and supply chain management.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BZ-2RW822-A2 directly replace the AM1713F in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The BZ-2RW822-A2 maintains identical circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (on-momentary), voltage rating (125V AC/DC), actuator type (lever roller), mounting type (chassis mount), and termination style (screw terminal). Physical and electrical compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The BZ-2RW822-A2 provides higher AC current capacity (15A versus 10A), extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C versus -25°C to 80°C), and significantly higher mechanical life (20,000,000 versus 1,500,000 cycles). These represent performance improvements with no compatibility penalties.

Q: Why is the AM1713F obsolete?

A: The AM1713F is classified as obsolete by Panasonic Electric Works. The BZ-2RW822-A2 from Honeywell provides equivalent functionality with active product status and superior performance specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The AM1713F is packaged as individual units (dash packaging), while the BZ-2RW822-A2 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both use identical screw terminal configuration and chassis mount form factor. Bulk packaging does not affect component functionality or installation method.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The BZ-2RW822-A2 is RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. Both the original and substitute share EAR99 ECCN classification and MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level) designation.

Q: Can the BZ-2RW822-A2 operate in the same temperature range as the AM1713F?

A: Yes. The BZ-2RW822-A2 operating range (-55°C to 85°C) fully encompasses the AM1713F range (-25°C to 80°C), providing extended capability at both temperature extremes.
