AM50625C33-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AM50625C33-A is a snap-action switch manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, configured as a single-pole, single-throw normally-closed (SPST-NC) device with chassis mount termination. This component is rated for 6A AC at 125V and features a lever-roller actuator with quick-connect 0.187" (4.7mm) termination. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing maintenance, repair, and legacy system support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AM50625C33-A is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Circuit and Function Compatibility: The substitute must maintain SPST-NC configuration with On-Momentary switch function to preserve circuit behavior in the original application.

Electrical Ratings: The substitute must meet or exceed the AC voltage rating of 125V and AC current rating of 6A. DC ratings of 125V and 500mA must also be supported.

Mechanical Interface: Chassis mount configuration with quick-connect 0.187" (4.7mm) termination is mandatory for direct physical replacement without adapter modifications.

Actuator Specification: Lever-roller actuator type ensures consistent mechanical engagement and operational feel within the original system design.

Operating Envelope: Temperature range compatibility and mechanical life specifications ensure reliable long-term operation in the intended application environment.

The TFCFK6SA1040W from C&K meets these substitution criteria while offering enhanced electrical performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TFCFK6SA1040W is a qualified substitute for the AM50625C33-A based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Equivalence: Both components share identical circuit configuration (SPST-NC), switch function (On-Momentary), actuator type (Lever-Roller), mounting method (Chassis Mount), and termination style (Quick Connect 0.187"). These parameters ensure direct functional replacement without circuit redesign.

Electrical Performance: The TFCFK6SA1040W exceeds the original part's electrical specifications, supporting 11A AC at 277V compared to the AM50625C33-A's 6A at 125V. This enhanced rating provides margin for applications operating at the original voltage and current limits.

Compliance Status: The TFCFK6SA1040W is RoHS3 compliant and REACH affected, reflecting current regulatory standards. The AM50625C33-A is REACH unaffected due to its obsolete status. Both components carry EAR99 ECCN classification.

Product Availability: The TFCFK6SA1040W maintains active product status with current manufacturing support, ensuring long-term availability for replacement and new applications. The AM50625C33-A is obsolete with no ongoing production.

Mechanical Life Consideration: The AM50625C33-A specifies 10,000,000 mechanical cycles. The TFCFK6SA1040W does not provide mechanical life data in the available specifications; applications requiring documented mechanical life performance should reference C&K technical documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TFCFK6SA1040W directly replace the AM50625C33-A without modifications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical circuit configuration, switch function, actuator type, mounting method, and termination style. Direct substitution is possible without circuit or mechanical modifications.

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

A: The TFCFK6SA1040W provides higher AC voltage rating (277V vs. 125V) and higher AC current rating (11A vs. 6A). Operating temperature range differs: AM50625C33-A operates -25°C to 105°C, while TFCFK6SA1040W operates -40°C to 85°C. Operating force is slightly higher on the substitute (65gf vs. 60gf).

Q: Is the TFCFK6SA1040W suitable for applications originally designed for the AM50625C33-A?

A: Yes. The substitute meets or exceeds all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required by the original design. The enhanced ratings provide additional performance margin.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The AM50625C33-A is packaged in standard format, while the TFCFK6SA1040W is supplied in bulk packaging. Both use identical quick-connect 0.187" (4.7mm) termination and chassis mount configuration.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the TFCFK6SA1040W?

A: The TFCFK6SA1040W is RoHS3 compliant and REACH affected. Both components carry EAR99 ECCN classification for export control purposes.

Q: Why is the AM50625C33-A obsolete?

A: The AM50625C33-A is listed as obsolete, indicating Panasonic Electric Works has discontinued production. The TFCFK6SA1040W from C&K remains in active production and is the recommended alternative for new designs and legacy system replacements.
