AM50652D33-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AM50652D33-A is a snap-action switch manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, configured as a single-pole, single-throw normally-closed (SPST-NC) device with on-momentary switch function. This chassis-mount switch is rated for 6A at 125V AC and features a straight lever actuator with quick-connect 0.250" (6.3mm) 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

Substitute components for the AM50652D33-A must satisfy the following core electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPST-NC
• Switch function: On-Mom (momentary operation)
• Current rating: minimum 6A AC
• Voltage rating: minimum 125V AC
• Actuator type: Lever, straight configuration
• Mounting type: Chassis mount
• Termination style: Quick connect 0.250" (6.3mm)
• Electrical life: minimum 100,000 cycles
• Mechanical life: minimum 10,000,000 cycles

The Crouzet 831607B3.A meets these substitution criteria. While it operates at a higher voltage rating (250V AC) and lower temperature minimum (-40°C versus -25°C), these represent equal or superior performance characteristics. The identical current rating (6A AC), circuit configuration (SPST-NC), momentary function, lever actuator, chassis mount, quick-connect termination, and cycle life specifications establish direct functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Crouzet 831607B3.A is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete AM50652D33-A. Both components share identical circuit topology (SPST-NC), current capacity (6A AC), momentary switch function, actuator geometry, mounting configuration, and termination interface. The Crouzet part provides superior voltage rating (250V versus 125V), ensuring operation within the original design envelope with additional margin.

The Crouzet 831607B3.A holds active product status with RoHS compliance certification, providing supply chain continuity and regulatory alignment for new designs and production runs. Both components maintain REACH Unaffected status and equivalent electrical and mechanical life specifications (100,000 electrical cycles, 10,000,000 mechanical cycles).

Temperature operating range differs between the two parts: the AM50652D33-A operates from -25°C to 105°C, while the Crouzet part operates from -40°C to 85°C. Application-specific temperature requirements must be evaluated against these ranges to confirm suitability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Crouzet 831607B3.A directly replace the AM50652D33-A in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components share identical circuit configuration (SPST-NC), current rating (6A AC), switch function (momentary), actuator type (straight lever), mounting type (chassis mount), and termination style (quick connect 0.250"). Physical and electrical interfaces are compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the higher voltage rating on the Crouzet part?

A: The Crouzet 831607B3.A is rated for 250V AC compared to the AM50652D33-A at 125V AC. A higher voltage rating indicates the component can safely operate at the original design voltage (125V) with additional electrical margin. This does not affect compatibility or performance in 125V applications.

Q: Are there temperature range considerations for substitution?

A: The AM50652D33-A operates from -25°C to 105°C, while the Crouzet part operates from -40°C to 85°C. If the application requires operation above 85°C or below -40°C, the specific temperature requirements must be verified against the substitute part's rated range.

Q: What is the difference in product status between these components?

A: The AM50652D33-A is obsolete, indicating it is no longer manufactured or supported by Panasonic Electric Works. The Crouzet 831607B3.A maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability.

Q: Does the Crouzet part meet current regulatory requirements?

A: The Crouzet 831607B3.A is RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards. The AM50652D33-A RoHS status is not specified in available documentation.

Q: Are the electrical and mechanical life specifications equivalent?

A: Yes. Both components are rated for 100,000 electrical cycles and 10,000,000 mechanical cycles, providing identical operational longevity specifications.
