AZH2213 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AZH2213 is a snap-action switch manufactured by Panasonic Industrial Automation Sales, configured as a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) device with momentary operation. This chassis-mounted switch is rated for 100mA at 125V AC and 30V DC, featuring a cross roller plunger actuator and IP67 ingress protection. The product is currently active and RoHS compliant. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, regional availability, or specific application requirements where alternative manufacturers' components meet equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AZH2213 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Circuit configuration must be SPDT
• Switch function must be On-Momentary
• Voltage ratings must meet or exceed 125V AC and 30V DC
• Current rating must support 100mA minimum at specified voltages
• Mounting type must be Chassis Mount
• Termination style must be Screw Terminal
• Ingress protection must be IP67 or equivalent
• Operating temperature range must encompass -10°C to 80°C

Substitute Parts Identified:

Group 1 - Direct Electrical Equivalent: D4E-2E20N (Omron Automation and Safety) meets all primary compatibility criteria with identical electrical ratings and mechanical specifications.

Group 2 - Higher Current Capacity: ZC-N2155 (Omron Automation and Safety) exceeds the current rating requirement (10A AC / 6A DC versus 100mA requirement) while maintaining SPDT configuration, chassis mount, screw terminal, and IP67 protection. This part is suitable for applications where higher current capacity provides design margin or future upgrade potential.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

D4E-2E20N Selection: This Omron part provides direct substitution for the AZH2213 with matching electrical ratings (100mA at 125V AC / 30V DC), identical operating force and release force specifications, and equivalent mechanical life. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. The D4E-2E20N is suitable for one-to-one replacement in existing designs without modification.

ZC-N2155 Selection: This Omron part exceeds the current capacity requirement (10A AC / 6A DC) while maintaining all voltage, temperature, and protection specifications. The ZC-N2155 features lower operating force (700gf versus 1200gf) and release force (170gf versus 500gf), with a slightly longer operating position (1.866" versus 1.625"). This part is suitable for applications where higher current capacity is beneficial and the reduced actuation forces are compatible with the mechanical design. ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are maintained. The ZC-N2155 carries REACH Affected status, whereas the AZH2213 is REACH Unaffected.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the D4E-2E20N directly replace the AZH2213 in my application?

A: Yes. The D4E-2E20N matches the AZH2213 in all critical electrical parameters (100mA at 125V AC / 30V DC), circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-Momentary), mounting type (Chassis Mount), termination style (Screw Terminal), and ingress protection (IP67). Operating force, release force, and operating position are identical. Both parts support the same temperature range (-10°C to 80°C) and mechanical life (10,000,000 cycles).

Q: When should I use the ZC-N2155 instead of the D4E-2E20N?

A: The ZC-N2155 is appropriate when your application requires higher current capacity (10A AC / 6A DC) or when lower actuation forces (700gf operating, 170gf release) are advantageous for the mechanical design. The ZC-N2155 has a longer operating position (1.866" versus 1.625"), which may affect mounting clearance requirements. All three parts maintain equivalent voltage ratings, temperature range, and IP67 protection.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: All three parts are RoHS compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The AZH2213 is REACH Unaffected, while both Omron substitutes (D4E-2E20N and ZC-N2155) are ROHS3 compliant. The ZC-N2155 carries REACH Affected status. Verify REACH compliance requirements for your specific application and region.

Q: What is the difference between the cross roller plunger (AZH2213) and roller plunger (D4E-2E20N, ZC-N2155) actuators?

A: Both actuator types are compatible with the specified electrical and mechanical parameters. The cross roller plunger and roller plunger designs differ in mechanical geometry but deliver equivalent operating force, release force, and switching performance within the defined specifications.

Q: Can I use the ZC-N2155 if my circuit only requires 100mA?

A: Yes. The ZC-N2155 is rated for 10A AC and 6A DC, which exceeds the 100mA requirement. The part will operate correctly at lower current levels. Ensure that the reduced operating force (700gf) and release force (170gf) are compatible with your mechanical design and user interface requirements.

Q: Are the screw terminal connections compatible across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts use screw terminal termination style, ensuring compatible wiring and connection methods. Verify terminal spacing and mounting hole alignment for your specific PCB or chassis design.
