E61-00A Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The E61-00A manufactured by ZF Electronics is a snap action SPDT switch rated for 5A at 125V AC and 30V DC, with a chassis mount configuration and round (pin plunger) actuator. Its function is On-Mom, and it utilizes quick connect (0.093"/2.3mm) terminals. This switch's part status is listed as obsolete, making it necessary to locate functional equivalents or substitute components that meet the same operational characteristics and mounting requirements for continued maintenance and design support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ZF Electronics E61-00A are selected based strictly on the following parameters:

• Switch Function (On-Mom)
• Circuit (SPDT)
• Current and Voltage Ratings (AC and DC as specified)
• Actuator Type (Round, Pin Plunger)
• Mounting Type (Chassis Mount)
• Termination Style (Quick Connect/Solder Lug where applicable)
• Operating Force
• Key travel parameters (Operating Position, Pretravel, Differential Travel, Overtravel)
• Operating Temperature Range
• Compliance (RoHS, MSL, REACH)

Only parts matching or exceeding the minimum requirements in these fields are considered as substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute snap action SPDT switch part numbers—DB1CB1AA, MS-105A01 (H), and MS0850500F150C1A—satisfy RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (unlimited) requirements, as well as REACH unaffected status. Selection must consider the part status; DB1CB1AA, MS-105A01 (H), and MS0850500F150C1A are all active, whereas E61-00A is obsolete.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the primary electrical and mechanical parameters to evaluate when substituting the E61-00A snap action SPDT switch?
A1: Key parameters are switch function (On-Mom), circuit (SPDT), current and voltage rating, actuator type, mounting and termination style, operating force, travel characteristics, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications.

Q2: Are there significant dimensional or mounting differences among the listed substitutes for E61-00A?
A2: All substitutes utilize chassis mount and round (pin plunger) actuators. Termination styles and pin dimensions may differ and must be compared to ensure fit within the application.

Q3: How do compliance and certifications affect part selection?
A3: All compared parts are ROHS3 compliant, have MSL 1 ratings, and are REACH unaffected, meeting standard industry requirements for regulatory and environmental standards.

Q4: How important is matching the electrical life of the switch?
A4: Electrical life affects number of switching cycles; the candidate parts meet or exceed the 6,000 cycles of E61-00A.

Q5: Is it allowed to substitute a part with higher operating force or different pretravel/overtravel values?
A5: Substitution must adhere to key specified parameters. Differences in operating force or travel may affect mechanical interface, so only parameters provided should be used for compatibility checks.
