Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BZ-2RW80288-A2 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT
• Switch function: On-Mom
• Current rating: 15A AC minimum
• Voltage rating: 125V AC minimum
• Mounting type: Chassis Mount
• Termination style: Screw Terminal
• Mechanical life: 20,000,000 Cycles

Identified Substitutes:

The GPTCRM01 and GPTCRM11 (both manufactured by ZF Electronics) meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements. Both parts maintain SPDT circuit configuration, 15A AC current rating at 125V AC, chassis mount configuration, and screw terminal termination. Both achieve 20,000,000 cycle mechanical life rating and carry ROHS3 compliance status.

Parameter Variations in Substitutes:

Substitute parts differ in actuator type (roller lever versus straight lever), operating force (158gf versus 85gf), release force (43gf versus 7.087gf), operating position (1.172" versus 0.961"), and operating temperature range (0°C to 55°C versus -55°C to 85°C). These differences must be evaluated against specific application requirements before selection.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection:

The BZ-2RW80288-A2 remains the specified component for applications requiring the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C, lower actuator operating force (85gf), and lower release force (7.087gf). This part is Active status with RoHS Compliance and represents the original design choice.

Substitute Selection Criteria:

GPTCRM01 and GPTCRM11 are functionally equivalent substitutes when application operating temperature requirements fall within 0°C to 55°C. Both ZF Electronics parts maintain identical electrical ratings (15A AC at 125V), circuit configuration (SPDT), and mechanical life (20,000,000 cycles). Both carry ROHS3 Compliance and Active product status.

Mechanical Compatibility Considerations:

Substitution requires evaluation of actuator force requirements. The ZF Electronics substitutes (GPTCRM01 and GPTCRM11) require higher operating force (158gf) and release force (43gf) compared to the Honeywell original. Operating position differs (1.172" versus 0.961"), which may affect mechanical linkage design. Chassis mount and screw terminal configurations are identical across all three parts, ensuring electrical connection compatibility.

Compliance and Availability:

All three parts maintain Active product status and RoHS compliance (RoHS Compliant for BZ-2RW80288-A2; ROHS3 Compliant for GPTCRM01 and GPTCRM11). REACH status is Unaffected for the primary part. ECCN classification is EAR99 for all parts. HTSUS code 8536.50.9040 applies uniformly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GPTCRM01 or GPTCRM11 be used as direct replacements for BZ-2RW80288-A2?

A: GPTCRM01 and GPTCRM11 are functionally equivalent for applications where operating temperature remains within 0°C to 55°C. Both maintain identical SPDT circuit configuration, 15A AC at 125V electrical ratings, chassis mount configuration, and screw terminal termination. However, differences in actuator force, release force, and operating position require mechanical design verification before substitution.
