AM50062C43-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AM50062C43-A is a SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) snap-action switch manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works. This chassis-mount switch is rated for 100mA at 125V AC and 30V DC, featuring a straight lever actuator with quick-connect termination. The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing maintenance, repair, and legacy system support applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AM50062C43-A is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration must be SPST-NO
• Switch function must be Off-Momentary
• Actuator type must be Lever, Straight
• Mounting type must be Chassis Mount
• Termination style must be Quick Connect - 0.187" (4.7mm)
• Current rating must meet or exceed 100mA
• AC voltage rating must meet or exceed 125V
• DC voltage rating must meet or exceed 30V (where applicable)

The Crouzet 83265842 meets all substitution criteria. While it exceeds the original specifications in current capacity (5A vs. 100mA) and AC voltage rating (250V vs. 125V), these higher ratings ensure compatibility and provide additional operational margin. The mechanical and electrical characteristics remain functionally equivalent for the intended application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Crouzet 83265842 is a qualified substitute for the obsolete AM50062C43-A based on matching circuit configuration, switch function, actuator geometry, mounting method, and termination interface. The substitute part exceeds the original specifications in current capacity and AC voltage rating, providing operational margin without compromising functional compatibility.

The Crouzet part is currently in active production status with 1,047 units in stock, ensuring availability for replacement and new assembly applications. The part carries RoHS Compliance and REACH Unaffected certifications, meeting modern regulatory requirements.

The mechanical life rating of the original part (10,000,000 cycles) exceeds that of the substitute (1,000,000 cycles). For applications requiring the highest cycle count durability, this difference should be evaluated against actual operational demands.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Crouzet 83265842 directly replace the AM50062C43-A in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical circuit configuration (SPST-NO), switch function (Off-Momentary), actuator type (Lever, Straight), mounting type (Chassis Mount), and termination style (Quick Connect - 0.187"). The substitute meets or exceeds all electrical ratings of the original part.

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

A: The AM50062C43-A is rated for 100mA, while the Crouzet 83265842 is rated for 5A AC. The substitute's higher current capacity ensures compatibility with the original application and provides additional operational margin.

Q: Are there differences in mechanical durability?

A: The AM50062C43-A has a mechanical life rating of 10,000,000 cycles, while the Crouzet 83265842 is rated for 1,000,000 cycles. For applications with high cycle count requirements, this difference should be considered during design evaluation.

Q: Does the Crouzet part meet current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. The Crouzet 83265842 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and safety regulations. The original AM50062C43-A is obsolete and no longer manufactured.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible?

A: Both parts feature identical mounting type (Chassis Mount) and termination style (Quick Connect - 0.187"). Operating position measurements are nearly identical (0.602" vs. 0.606"), confirming mechanical compatibility in existing mounting configurations.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each part?

A: The AM50062C43-A operates from -25°C to 105°C. The Crouzet 83265842 operates from -20°C to 125°C, providing a wider temperature range suitable for extended environmental conditions.
