AZH2013 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Panasonic AZH2013 is a snap action SPDT switch with 5A/125V AC rating, chassis mount configuration, and cross roller plunger actuator. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The AZH2013 delivers 100,000 electrical cycles and 10,000,000 mechanical cycles with IP67 ingress protection and RoHS compliance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AZH2013 is determined by the following critical parameters: circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-Mom), voltage ratings (125V AC / 30V DC), actuator type, mounting type (chassis mount), termination style (screw terminal), ingress protection (IP67), operating force (1200gf), release force (500gf), and operating position (1.625" / 41.3mm).

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Equivalents (Chassis Mount, 5A Rating): D4E-1E20N and AZH2013 share identical mounting type, operating position, and current rating. These parts maintain full functional compatibility.

Functional Alternatives (Chassis Mount, Reduced Current Rating): D4E-2E20N operates at 100mA instead of 5A, suitable for low-current applications requiring the same mechanical and environmental specifications.

Higher Current Alternative (Chassis Mount, 10A Rating): ZC-N2155 provides increased current capacity (10A AC / 6A DC) with chassis mount configuration, suitable for applications requiring higher current switching while maintaining SPDT functionality and IP67 protection.

Panel Mount Alternative: D4E-1B20N provides identical electrical and mechanical specifications to D4E-1E20N but uses panel mount instead of chassis mount configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Chassis Mount, 5A Rating): D4E-1E20N is the primary equivalent for AZH2013. Both parts maintain identical mounting type, operating position, current rating, and mechanical specifications. D4E-1E20N is active product status with extended electrical life (500,000 cycles versus 100,000 cycles) and RoHS compliance.

For Panel Mount Applications: D4E-1B20N provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance to D4E-1E20N with panel mount configuration. Selection depends on mechanical integration requirements.

For Low-Current Applications: D4E-2E20N operates at 100mA and is suitable only for applications where current requirements do not exceed 100mA. This part maintains identical mechanical specifications and chassis mount configuration.

For Higher Current Requirements: ZC-N2155 accommodates 10A AC / 6A DC switching with chassis mount configuration. Operating force and release force are reduced (700gf and 170gf respectively), and operating position is increased to 1.866" (47.4mm). Selection requires confirmation that reduced actuation forces and increased operating position are compatible with application mechanics.

All substitute parts maintain IP67 ingress protection, SPDT circuit configuration, On-Mom switch function, screw terminal termination, and -10°C to 80°C operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can D4E-1E20N directly replace AZH2013 in existing designs?

A: D4E-1E20N is functionally equivalent for chassis mount applications. Both parts share identical current rating (5A AC/DC), voltage ratings (125V AC / 30V DC), operating position (1.625" / 41.3mm), operating force (1200gf), release force (500gf), and mechanical life (10,000,000 cycles). D4E-1E20N offers extended electrical life (500,000 cycles) and active product status.

Q: What is the difference between D4E-1B20N and D4E-1E20N?

A: D4E-1B20N and D4E-1E20N are electrically and mechanically identical except for mounting type. D4E-1B20N uses panel mount configuration with 1.235" (31.4mm) operating position. D4E-1E20N uses chassis mount configuration with 1.625" (41.3mm) operating position. Selection depends on mechanical integration requirements.

Q: When should ZC-N2155 be selected instead of D4E-1E20N?

A: ZC-N2155 is selected when application requirements exceed 5A current capacity. ZC-N2155 provides 10A AC / 6A DC rating. However, operating force is reduced to 700gf (versus 1200gf), release force is reduced to 170gf (versus 500gf), and operating position is increased to 1.866" (47.4mm) (versus 1.625" / 41.3mm). Mechanical compatibility must be confirmed.

Q: Is D4E-2E20N suitable as a general replacement for AZH2013?

A: D4E-2E20N is suitable only for applications where current requirements do not exceed 100mA. Current rating is reduced from 5A to 100mA. All other mechanical and environmental specifications remain identical to D4E-1E20N. Application current requirements must be confirmed before selection.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to substitute parts?

A: D4E-1E20N maintains RoHS compliance matching AZH2013. D4E-1B20N, D4E-2E20N, and ZC-N2155 are ROHS3 compliant. D4E-1B20N and ZC-N2155 are REACH Affected. All parts maintain EAR99 ECCN classification and 8536.50.9055 HTSUS code.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in equivalent packaging quantities?

A: Substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Current inventory: D4E-1B20N (1074 pcs), D4E-1E20N (1019 pcs), D4E-2E20N (861 pcs), ZC-N2155 (971 pcs). Packaging configuration differs from original AZH2013 specification.
