AZ35229 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AZ35229 is a snap action switch manufactured by Panasonic Industrial Automation Sales, configured as a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) device with on-momentary function. This component is rated for 4A at 125V AC and 30V DC, featuring a lever straight actuator and chassis mount configuration with solder and quick connect termination options. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AZ35229 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Circuit and Function Compatibility: The substitute must maintain SPDT configuration with on-momentary switching function to preserve circuit behavior in the target application.

Electrical Ratings: The substitute must support minimum 125V AC operation. Current rating of the substitute (5A) exceeds the original specification (4A), providing margin for application requirements. DC voltage rating is not specified for the substitute but AC rating compatibility is maintained.

Mechanical Interface: Chassis mount configuration and quick connect termination at 0.110" (2.8mm) must be preserved to ensure physical and electrical integration without redesign.

Environmental and Compliance: RoHS compliance status ensures regulatory alignment. Operating temperature range and ingress protection specifications define environmental suitability.

The MS0850500F190C1A from E-Switch meets these substitution criteria while offering active product status and enhanced electrical lifecycle ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MS0850500F190C1A is a direct functional substitute for the AZ35229 based on matching circuit topology, voltage rating, and mechanical interface specifications. The substitute carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete original part.

Current rating elevation from 4A to 5A provides operational margin without introducing compatibility issues in applications designed for the original 4A specification. Extended operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C versus -20°C to 60°C) accommodates broader environmental deployment scenarios.

Both components maintain RoHS compliance with the substitute meeting ROHS3 requirements. Quick connect termination compatibility at 0.110" (2.8mm) eliminates the need for connector redesign or adapter implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MS0850500F190C1A directly replace the AZ35229 without circuit modification?

A: Yes. Both components share identical SPDT circuit configuration, on-momentary function, 125V AC rating, and 0.110" (2.8mm) quick connect termination. No circuit redesign is required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference (4A versus 5A)?

A: The substitute's higher current rating (5A) is compatible with applications designed for 4A operation. This provides operational margin and does not create compatibility issues. Applications requiring exactly 4A operation remain within specification with the 5A-rated substitute.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of the substitute affect compatibility?

A: No. The substitute's wider temperature range (-25°C to 85°C) encompasses the original specification (-20°C to 60°C). Applications operating within the original temperature envelope remain fully compatible.

Q: Are there termination differences between the two parts?

A: The original AZ35229 offers both solder and quick connect termination options. The MS0850500F190C1A provides quick connect termination only. Applications using solder termination require connection method adaptation or alternative substitute evaluation.

Q: What is the impact of product status on long-term availability?

A: The AZ35229 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited inventory availability. The MS0850500F190C1A maintains active product status, ensuring continued manufacturing, supply chain support, and technical documentation availability for future procurement cycles.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The AZ35229 is RoHS Compliant. The MS0850500F190C1A meets ROHS3 requirements, representing an updated compliance standard. Both components satisfy RoHS regulatory requirements for their respective manufacturing periods.
