AM50045D43-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AM50045D43-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 essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AM50045D43-A is determined by the following critical parameters:

Circuit configuration must remain SPDT to maintain electrical functionality within the host system. Current and voltage ratings establish the maximum operational envelope; substitute parts must meet or exceed 100mA at 125V AC and 30V DC. Actuator type (lever with roller) and mounting configuration (chassis mount) define the mechanical interface requirements. Termination style (quick connect 0.250") must be compatible with existing wiring harnesses and PCB layouts.

The V3L-2163 from Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions qualifies as a functional substitute based on SPDT circuit configuration and compatible electrical ratings. Both components share MSL 1 classification and identical ECCN/HTSUS codes, confirming regulatory alignment.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The V3L-2163 represents an active product alternative to the obsolete AM50045D43-A. Both components share identical regulatory classifications (ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.50.7000) and moisture sensitivity levels, confirming compliance alignment.

The V3L-2163 provides superior current handling capability (11A versus 100mA), establishing margin for applications requiring higher switching loads. The component carries RoHS compliance certification, meeting modern environmental standards.

Termination style differs between the two parts: the AM50045D43-A uses quick connect 0.250" terminals, while the V3L-2163 employs solder termination. This distinction requires evaluation of the host system's connection methodology and potential redesign of terminal interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the V3L-2163 directly replace the AM50045D43-A in existing assemblies?

A: Electrical substitution is feasible based on SPDT circuit configuration and current/voltage compatibility. However, termination style differences (quick connect versus solder) necessitate mechanical interface modification. Mounting configuration compatibility must be confirmed against specific application requirements.

Q: What are the primary differences between these two SPDT switches?

A: The AM50045D43-A is rated for 100mA with quick connect 0.250" terminals and chassis mount configuration. The V3L-2163 provides 11A current capacity with solder termination. Both maintain SPDT functionality and MSL 1 classification.

Q: Is the V3L-2163 suitable for the same voltage applications as the AM50045D43-A?

A: The AM50045D43-A is rated for 125V AC and 30V DC. Complete voltage specifications for the V3L-2163 are not provided in available data. Detailed electrical specifications should be obtained from the manufacturer before final selection.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The V3L-2163 carries RoHS compliance certification, indicating conformance to restrictions on hazardous substances. The AM50045D43-A RoHS status is not specified. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, the V3L-2163 provides documented compliance.

Q: How do the mechanical life ratings compare?

A: The AM50045D43-A specifies 10,000,000 mechanical cycles. Mechanical life data for the V3L-2163 is not provided in available documentation. Application-specific cycle requirements should be evaluated against the AM50045D43-A baseline.
