AM50062D33-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AM50062D33-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 identification of suitable substitute components essential for system maintenance, repair, and redesign applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AM50062D33-A requires matching the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPST-NO topology
• Switch function: Off-Mom (momentary action)
• Actuator type: Lever, straight configuration
• Mounting interface: Chassis mount
• Termination: Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm)
• Current capacity: Equal to or greater than 100mA
• Voltage rating: Equal to or greater than 125V AC and 30V DC

The Crouzet 83265822 satisfies these substitution criteria. While it exceeds the original current rating (5A vs. 100mA) and AC voltage rating (250V vs. 125V), these higher ratings ensure compatibility in applications designed for the AM50062D33-A. The mechanical and electrical characteristics remain functionally equivalent for the specified use case.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Crouzet 83265822 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete AM50062D33-A. Selection is based on the following factors:

• Functional equivalence: Both switches share identical circuit topology (SPST-NO), switch function (Off-Mom), actuator configuration (lever, straight), mounting method (chassis mount), and termination style (quick connect 0.250").
• Electrical compatibility: The Crouzet part exceeds the original voltage and current specifications, ensuring safe operation in all applications designed for the AM50062D33-A.
• Product availability: The Crouzet 83265822 is active in production, providing long-term supply continuity.
• Compliance status: The Crouzet part is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting modern regulatory requirements.
• Mechanical similarity: Operating position and actuator force are nearly identical, ensuring drop-in compatibility in existing mechanical assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Crouzet 83265822 directly replace the AM50062D33-A in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both switches share identical circuit topology, actuator type, mounting method, and termination style. The Crouzet part's higher current and voltage ratings ensure compatibility with all applications designed for the original component.

Q: What are the key differences between these two switches?

A: The primary differences are current rating (5A vs. 100mA), AC voltage rating (250V vs. 125V), operating force (25gf vs. 30gf), and mechanical life (1,000,000 vs. 10,000,000 cycles). The Crouzet part exceeds the original specifications in electrical capacity while maintaining functional equivalence.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns?

A: No. Operating position values are nearly identical (0.606" vs. 0.602"), and both switches use the same quick-connect 0.250" termination. Physical installation in existing chassis mount locations will not require modification.

Q: Does the Crouzet part meet current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. The Crouzet 83265822 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and safety regulations.

Q: What is the impact of the lower mechanical life rating on the Crouzet part?

A: The Crouzet part is rated for 1,000,000 mechanical cycles compared to 10,000,000 for the original. For applications requiring extended cycle life, this difference should be evaluated against actual usage patterns and system requirements.
