AM50065C33-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AM50065C33-A is a SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) snap-action switch manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works. This chassis-mount switch features a lever roller actuator with quick connect termination and is rated for 100mA at 125V AC or 30V DC. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable equivalent parts essential for system maintenance, repair, and redesign applications where this component is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AM50065C33-A is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Circuit configuration must be SPST-NO
• Switch function must be Off-Momentary
• Actuator type must include Lever and Roller options
• Mounting type must be Chassis Mount
• Termination style must include Quick Connect - 0.187" (4.7mm)

Electrical Performance Criteria:

• Current rating must meet or exceed 100mA
• Voltage ratings must support the application's AC and DC requirements
• Operating temperature range must encompass -25°C to 105°C or be compatible with the intended use environment

Mechanical Criteria:

• Operating position of 0.815" (20.7mm) establishes the mechanical envelope
• Electrical and mechanical life cycles must be sufficient for the application

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: ABV1236619 (Panasonic Electric Works) and LS085R105F250C1C (E-Switch). Both maintain SPST-NO configuration, Off-Momentary function, lever roller actuation, chassis mounting, and quick connect termination compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ABV1236619 (Panasonic Electric Works)

This substitute is an active product from the original manufacturer, providing continuity with Panasonic Electric Works design and quality standards. The ABV1236619 exceeds the current rating of the original part (3A versus 100mA) and supports higher AC voltage (250V versus 125V). The operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) is narrower at the upper limit but extends lower, suitable for applications not requiring the full 105°C capability. The part is RoHS Compliant and maintains the same electrical life rating (100,000 cycles). Mechanical life is reduced to 5,000,000 cycles. This option is recommended for applications prioritizing manufacturer continuity and higher current capacity.

LS085R105F250C1C (E-Switch)

This substitute is an active product from E-Switch with ROHS3 Compliance and REACH Unaffected status. The LS085R105F250C1C maintains the same operating position and termination style as the original. However, the voltage ratings are significantly lower (20V AC/DC versus 125V AC/30V DC), and current capacity is 0.4VA. Electrical life is 50,000 cycles and mechanical life is 1,000,000 cycles. This option is suitable only for low-voltage applications and is not recommended as a general substitute for the AM50065C33-A in standard 125V AC circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ABV1236619 directly replace AM50065C33-A in all applications?

A: ABV1236619 maintains the same SPST-NO circuit configuration, Off-Momentary function, lever roller actuation, chassis mounting, and quick connect termination. The higher current rating (3A) and voltage rating (250V AC) make it suitable for the original application's 100mA at 125V AC requirement. The reduced upper operating temperature limit (85°C versus 105°C) must be evaluated against the specific application environment.

Q: Why is LS085R105F250C1C listed as a substitute if voltage ratings are lower?

A: LS085R105F250C1C meets the core substitution criteria of circuit configuration, function, actuator type, mounting, and termination style. However, its 20V AC/DC rating makes it unsuitable for applications requiring 125V AC operation. This part is listed as a substitute only for low-voltage applications within its electrical specifications.

Q: What is the impact of reduced mechanical life in substitute parts?

A: ABV1236619 provides 5,000,000 cycles versus the original 10,000,000 cycles. LS085R105F250C1C provides 1,000,000 cycles. Applications requiring extended mechanical cycling should evaluate whether the substitute's life rating meets the intended duty cycle and service life requirements.

Q: Are there termination compatibility considerations?

A: ABV1236619 offers both Solder and Quick Connect - 0.187" (4.7mm) termination options, providing flexibility for different assembly methods. LS085R105F250C1C provides Quick Connect - 0.187" (4.7mm) only. Both maintain compatibility with the original quick connect termination specification.

Q: What compliance certifications should be considered?

A: ABV1236619 is RoHS Compliant. LS085R105F250C1C is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification. Compliance requirements for the end application should be verified against these certifications.
