BA-2RV336-A2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The BA-2RV336-A2 is a snap action SPDT switch manufactured by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions. This chassis-mounted switch is designed for On-Mom (momentary) operation with a 20A AC rating at 125V and 500mA DC rating at 125V. The part features a straight lever actuator with screw terminal connections and is classified as Active product status with RoHS compliance. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or application-specific mechanical parameters necessitate alternative component selection while maintaining circuit functionality and electrical performance within specified operating ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BA-2RV336-A2 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw)
• Switch function: On-Mom (momentary operation)
• Voltage rating: 125V AC minimum
• Mounting type: Chassis Mount
• Termination style: Screw Terminal
• Mechanical life: 20,000,000 cycles minimum

Secondary Consideration:

• Current rating: The BA-2RV336-A2 operates at 20A AC. Substitute parts rated at 15A AC represent a reduced current capacity and are suitable only for applications where the load current does not exceed 15A AC.

The identified substitutes GPTCRM01 and GPTCRM11 (both manufactured by ZF Electronics) meet the primary substitution criteria. Both parts maintain SPDT circuit configuration, On-Mom function, 125V AC voltage rating, chassis mount configuration, screw terminal termination, and 20,000,000 cycle mechanical life. However, both substitutes are rated at 15A AC, which represents a current derating compared to the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

BA-2RV336-A2 (Primary Selection): Use the BA-2RV336-A2 when the application requires 20A AC current capacity and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C). This part is RoHS Compliant and maintains Active product status with established supply chain availability (820 pcs in stock).

GPTCRM01 and GPTCRM11 (Substitute Selection): Use GPTCRM01 or GPTCRM11 when the application load current does not exceed 15A AC and the operating temperature range is constrained to 0°C to 55°C. Both substitutes are ROHS3 Compliant and Active status. GPTCRM01 and GPTCRM11 are functionally identical; selection between them may be based on inventory availability (GPTCRM11: 907 pcs; GPTCRM01: 1079 pcs in stock).

Critical Limitation: The substitutes GPTCRM01 and GPTCRM11 are not suitable for applications requiring the full 20A AC current rating or extended low-temperature operation below 0°C. The operating temperature range reduction from -55°C to 85°C (main part) to 0°C to 55°C (substitutes) represents a significant constraint for industrial or aerospace applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GPTCRM01 or GPTCRM11 directly replace BA-2RV336-A2 in all applications?

A: No. Direct replacement is limited to applications where the load current does not exceed 15A AC and the operating environment remains within 0°C to 55°C. Applications requiring 20A AC capacity or extended temperature operation require the BA-2RV336-A2.

Q: What is the difference between GPTCRM01 and GPTCRM11?

A: GPTCRM01 and GPTCRM11 are functionally identical. Both are manufactured by ZF Electronics with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection may be based on inventory availability or procurement lead time.

Q: Are the mechanical parameters compatible between the main part and substitutes?

A: The substitutes feature a roller actuator (Lever, Roller) compared to the straight lever actuator on the BA-2RV336-A2. This difference affects operating force (158gf vs. 42-71gf), operating position (1.172" vs. 0.750"), and pretravel (0.106" vs. 0.470"). Physical mounting compatibility must be verified for the specific application.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS Compliant versus ROHS3 Compliant?

A: Both certifications indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. RoHS Compliant (BA-2RV336-A2) and ROHS3 Compliant (GPTCRM01, GPTCRM11) represent different regulatory versions. Both are acceptable for most commercial and industrial applications; specific requirements depend on end-use market regulations.

Q: Can substitutes be used in low-temperature applications below 0°C?

A: No. GPTCRM01 and GPTCRM11 are rated for 0°C to 55°C operation. Applications requiring operation below 0°C require the BA-2RV336-A2, which is rated for -55°C to 85°C.

Q: What packaging is available for all parts?

A: All parts (BA-2RV336-A2, GPTCRM01, GPTCRM11) are supplied in Bulk packaging.
