AM50015D33-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AM50015D33-A is a snap-action switch manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, configured as a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) device with chassis mount termination. This component is rated for 100mA at 125V AC and 30V DC, featuring a lever roller actuator with quick connect 0.250" (6.3mm) terminals. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AM50015D33-A is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Current rating capability (minimum 100mA)
• Voltage ratings (minimum 125V AC, 30V DC)
• Actuator type (lever or roller mechanism)
• Mounting compatibility (chassis mount)
• Termination style (quick connect 0.250" terminals)
• Operating temperature range (-25°C to 105°C minimum)
• Electrical and mechanical life specifications

The V3L-2163 from Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions meets the core functional requirements as an SPDT switch with roller actuator configuration. However, direct parameter comparison reveals differences in current rating and termination specifications that must be evaluated for application compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The V3L-2163 provides functional equivalence in circuit topology (SPDT) and actuator mechanism (roller). The substitute part carries active product status and RoHS compliance certification, supporting long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

Key considerations for selection:

• The V3L-2163 current rating (11A) exceeds the AM50015D33-A specification (100mA), providing margin for application requirements
• Termination style differs: the original uses quick connect 0.250" terminals while the substitute uses solder termination, requiring circuit board redesign or adapter implementation
• Both components share identical MSL, ECCN, and HTSUS classifications
• The substitute's active product status ensures continued procurement availability

Selection of the V3L-2163 is appropriate where solder termination can be accommodated in the circuit design and where the elevated current rating does not introduce unintended operational characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the V3L-2163 directly replace the AM50015D33-A without modification?

A: Direct replacement is not possible due to termination style differences. The AM50015D33-A uses quick connect 0.250" (6.3mm) terminals, while the V3L-2163 uses solder termination. Circuit board redesign or mechanical adapter implementation is required.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference between these parts?

A: The AM50015D33-A is rated for 100mA, while the V3L-2163 is rated for 11A. The substitute's higher rating provides operational margin but does not affect compatibility if the application current requirement does not exceed the original specification.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between these components?

A: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.7000) classifications. The V3L-2163 carries RoHS compliance certification, which may be required for specific applications or markets.

Q: What mounting considerations apply to the V3L-2163?

A: Mounting type information for the V3L-2163 is not provided in the available technical data. Verification of mechanical compatibility with the original chassis mount configuration is required before implementation.

Q: How do the electrical life specifications compare?

A: The AM50015D33-A specifies 100,000 electrical cycles. Corresponding electrical life data for the V3L-2163 is not provided in the available technical parameters.
