E62-50K SPDT Snap Action Switch - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The E62-50K is a snap action SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) switch manufactured by ZF Electronics, designed for chassis mount applications with a 10A AC rating at 125V. The product is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where this switch type is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the E62-50K requires matching the following critical parameters: SPDT circuit configuration, On-Momentary switch function, 125V AC voltage rating, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The substitute parts listed below maintain these core electrical specifications.

However, substitutes differ in the following areas:

• Current Rating: Substitute parts are rated at 2A, 100mA, or 3A AC/DC, which are lower than the original 10A AC rating. Selection depends on actual circuit current requirements.
• Mounting Type: Substitutes use Through Hole mounting instead of Chassis Mount, requiring mechanical redesign of the mounting interface.
• Termination Style: Substitutes use PC Pin termination instead of Quick Connect, requiring connector redesign.
• Electrical Life: Substitute parts offer 50,000 to 200,000 cycles, significantly exceeding the original 6,000 cycles.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts are active products from Panasonic Electric Works with current RoHS compliance certifications, ensuring availability and regulatory alignment for new designs and replacements.

For applications requiring the full 10A AC current rating of the original E62-50K: No direct substitute exists among the listed parts. Applications operating below 3A AC may use AV34443 (3A rating). Applications operating below 2A AC may use ABS1514409, ABS1514503, or ABS1514509 (2A rating). Applications operating below 100mA AC may use ABS1514513 (100mA rating).

For applications with flexible mounting requirements: All substitutes require Through Hole mounting and PC Pin termination, necessitating mechanical and electrical interface redesign from the original Chassis Mount Quick Connect configuration.

For extended operational life requirements: ABS1514513 offers 200,000 electrical cycles, compared to the original 6,000 cycles, providing significantly improved durability for high-cycle applications.

For low-temperature operation below -25°C: AV34443 is limited to -25°C minimum; all other substitutes support -40°C minimum, matching the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E62-50K be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?

A: Direct replacement is not possible due to differences in mounting type (Chassis Mount vs. Through Hole) and termination style (Quick Connect vs. PC Pin). Mechanical and electrical interface redesign is required. Current rating compatibility must also be verified for the specific application.

Q: Which substitute part is closest to the original E62-50K specifications?

A: AV34443 provides the highest current rating (3A AC) among substitutes and maintains the -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. However, mounting and termination differences still require interface redesign.

Q: What is the minimum current rating required to select a substitute?

A: Determine the actual AC current draw of your circuit. If the circuit operates at 3A or below, AV34443 is suitable. If the circuit operates at 2A or below, ABS1514409, ABS1514503, or ABS1514509 are suitable. If the circuit operates at 100mA or below, ABS1514513 is suitable. The E62-50K's 10A rating cannot be matched by any listed substitute.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. ABS1514409, ABS1514509, and AV34443 are RoHS Compliant. ABS1514513 is ROHS3 Compliant. ABS1514503 does not specify RoHS status in the provided data.

Q: What are the packaging options for these substitutes?

A: ABS1514409, ABS1514509, and AV34443 are available in Bulk packaging. ABS1514513 is available in Bulk packaging. ABS1514503 packaging is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Do the substitute parts support DC voltage operation?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are rated for both AC and DC operation at 30V DC, whereas the original E62-50K specifies only AC voltage. This provides additional flexibility for DC circuit applications.
