AM50613D33-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AM50613D33-A is a snap action SPDT switch manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, designed for chassis mount applications with a straight lever actuator and quick connect termination. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The switch is rated for 6A AC at 125V with momentary on-off functionality, suitable for general-purpose control applications requiring reliable snap action switching.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AM50613D33-A is based on the following critical parameters that must align between the main part and substitute candidates:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw)
• Switch function: On-Mom (Momentary operation)
• Mounting type: Chassis Mount
• Termination style: Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm)
• Voltage rating: 125V AC minimum
• Current rating: Minimum 6A AC capability

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Operating force and release force may vary within mechanical design tolerances
• Operating position, pretravel, differential travel, and overtravel may differ while maintaining functional compatibility
• Operating temperature range may be extended
• Electrical and mechanical life ratings may exceed minimum requirements
• Product status may transition from obsolete to active

The TMCGD6ST174AC from C&K meets all mandatory compatibility parameters while providing enhanced electrical life (350,000 cycles vs. 100,000 cycles) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C vs. -25°C to 105°C).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TMCGD6ST174AC is a direct functional substitute for the AM50613D33-A. Both components share identical circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-Mom), mounting type (Chassis Mount), and termination style (Quick Connect - 0.250"). Voltage and DC current ratings are equivalent at 125V and 500mA respectively.

The C&K TMCGD6ST174AC offers superior specifications in several areas: AC current rating of 10A exceeds the 6A requirement, electrical life of 350,000 cycles provides extended operational durability compared to 100,000 cycles, and the operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C accommodates broader environmental conditions than the -25°C to 105°C range of the original part.

The TMCGD6ST174AC holds active product status with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. Both components maintain REACH Unaffected status. The mechanical parameters (operating force, release force, and operating position) are within acceptable tolerance ranges for functional equivalence in chassis mount snap action switch applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TMCGD6ST174AC directly replace the AM50613D33-A in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both switches share identical SPDT circuit configuration, momentary on-off function, 125V voltage rating, 500mA DC current rating, chassis mount design, and 0.250" quick connect termination. The mechanical operating characteristics (position, force, travel) are functionally equivalent within engineering tolerances for snap action switch applications.

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

A: The TMCGD6ST174AC provides higher AC current capacity (10A vs. 6A), extended electrical life (350,000 vs. 100,000 cycles), broader operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C vs. -25°C to 105°C), and active product status with ROHS3 compliance. These represent performance enhancements rather than functional incompatibilities.

Q: Why is the AM50613D33-A classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works. The TMCGD6ST174AC from C&K provides equivalent functionality with active production status and improved specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The AM50613D33-A is specified with dash packaging notation, while the TMCGD6ST174AC is supplied in bulk packaging. Both use identical quick connect termination and chassis mount configuration.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the TMCGD6ST174AC?

A: The TMCGD6ST174AC is ROHS3 compliant and maintains REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement and use.
