Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BZ-2RW825-A2 are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters that must align with the main part specifications:

Critical Matching Parameters:

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

The substitute parts GPTCRM01 and GPTCRM11 (both manufactured by ZF Electronics) meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Both parts maintain SPDT circuit configuration, 15A AC current rating, 125V AC voltage rating, lever roller actuator, chassis mount configuration, and screw terminal termination with 20,000,000 cycle mechanical life rating.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

BZ-2RW825-A2 (Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions)

Select this part when the original design specification requires the Honeywell BZ series platform. This part is active in production status with RoHS compliance certification and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Current inventory availability is 919 pieces.

GPTCRM01 and GPTCRM11 (ZF Electronics)

Both ZF Electronics parts are functionally equivalent substitutes for the BZ-2RW825-A2 within the allowed electrical and mechanical parameter ranges. Both parts maintain active production status with ROHS3 compliance certification and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. GPTCRM01 inventory is 1079 pieces; GPTCRM11 inventory is 907 pieces.

The ZF Electronics substitutes differ from the main part in operating force (158gf versus 227gf), operating position (1.172" versus 1.140"), differential travel (0.020" versus 0.015"), and overtravel (0.094" versus 0.060"). These mechanical parameter differences remain within the allowed substitution range for SPDT snap action switches with identical electrical ratings and circuit configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GPTCRM01 or GPTCRM11 be used as direct replacements for BZ-2RW825-A2?

A: Yes, within applications where the electrical specifications (15A at 125V AC, SPDT circuit, On-Mom function) are the primary design constraints. Both substitute parts meet these core electrical requirements. Mechanical parameter differences (operating force, travel distances, operating position) must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between the main part and substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are mechanical parameters. The BZ-2RW825-A2 requires 227gf operating force, while both ZF Electronics substitutes require 158gf. Operating position differs by approximately 0.032 inches, and differential travel and overtravel specifications vary. All parts maintain identical electrical ratings, circuit configuration, and mechanical life cycles.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The BZ-2RW825-A2 is RoHS Compliant. Both GPTCRM01 and GPTCRM11 are ROHS3 Compliant. All three parts meet RoHS environmental compliance requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each part?

A: The BZ-2RW825-A2 operates from -55°C to 85°C. Both GPTCRM01 and GPTCRM11 operate from 0°C to 55°C. Applications requiring operation below 0°C or above 55°C must use the BZ-2RW825-A2.

Q: Do all parts have the same termination style?

A: Yes. All three parts use screw terminal termination, ensuring compatibility with existing circuit board layouts and wiring configurations.

Q: What is the mechanical life rating for these switches?

A: All three parts are rated for 20,000,000 mechanical cycles, providing equivalent durability and operational lifespan.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity levels the same across all parts?

A: Yes. All three parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
