AM50062D53-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AM50062D53-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 AM50062D53-A requires matching the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Criteria:

• Circuit configuration: SPST-NO
• Switch function: Off-Momentary
• Mounting type: Chassis Mount
• Termination style: Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm)
• Actuator type: Lever, Straight

Electrical Performance Criteria:

• Current rating must equal or exceed 100mA
• Voltage rating (AC) must equal or exceed 125V
• Voltage rating (DC) must equal or exceed 30V

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Operating position tolerance within ±0.050" of 0.602" (15.3mm)
• Pretravel and differential travel within acceptable mechanical envelope

The Crouzet 83265822 satisfies all mandatory compatibility criteria and exceeds electrical performance requirements, making it a suitable substitute for the obsolete AM50062D53-A.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Crouzet 83265822 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete AM50062D53-A. Both switches share identical circuit configuration (SPST-NO), switch function (Off-Momentary), actuator geometry (straight lever), mounting method (chassis mount), and termination style (0.250" quick connect).

The Crouzet substitute provides superior electrical performance with 5A current capacity versus the original 100mA rating, and 250V AC rating versus 125V AC. Operating position variance is minimal (0.606" versus 0.602"), ensuring mechanical compatibility within standard assembly tolerances.

The Crouzet 83265822 is currently in active production status with RoHS compliance certification, providing long-term supply chain stability and regulatory alignment. The operating temperature range of -20°C to 125°C covers the original -25°C to 105°C specification with extended upper temperature capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Crouzet 83265822 directly replace the AM50062D53-A in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both switches share identical mounting type (chassis mount), termination style (0.250" quick connect), actuator type (straight lever), and circuit configuration (SPST-NO). Operating position variance of 0.004" (0.1mm) is within standard mechanical tolerances.

Q: What are the key differences between these switches?

A: The primary differences are current rating (5A versus 100mA), AC voltage rating (250V versus 125V), and product status (active versus obsolete). The Crouzet substitute exceeds the electrical specifications of the original part.

Q: Is the Crouzet 83265822 suitable for low-current applications originally designed for the AM50062D53-A?

A: Yes. The Crouzet switch is rated for 5A maximum current, which accommodates the original 100mA requirement with significant margin. The switch will function correctly in circuits designed for the lower current rating.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences?

A: The Crouzet 83265822 carries RoHS compliance certification. The original AM50062D53-A specification does not indicate RoHS status. Both parts share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification.

Q: What is the mechanical life difference, and does it affect substitution suitability?

A: The AM50062D53-A specifies 10,000,000 mechanical cycles versus 1,000,000 cycles for the Crouzet substitute. For applications requiring the original cycle life specification, this parameter must be evaluated against actual duty cycle requirements.
