Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GLAA01A-Q07 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-Momentary), current ratings (6A AC / 550mA DC), and voltage ratings (120V AC / 125V DC) must remain identical.

Mechanical Parameters: Actuator type (Side Rotary - No Lever), mounting type (Chassis Mount), operating force (33gfm), and all travel specifications (operating position 26°, pretravel 26°, differential travel 12°, overtravel 59°) must match exactly.

Environmental & Compliance Parameters: Ingress protection rating (IP67), operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C), mechanical life (15,000,000 cycles), and RoHS compliance status must be maintained.

Termination Consideration: The primary difference between the GLAA01A-Q07 and its substitute relates to termination style. The GLAA01A-Q07 uses connector termination, while the GLAA01A substitute uses screw terminal termination. This represents a functional difference requiring evaluation based on application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GLAA01A-Q07 is classified as obsolete, necessitating component substitution for ongoing system support and new procurement activities. The GLAA01A represents the active equivalent within the GLS series from Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: The GLAA01A maintains complete electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence with the GLAA01A-Q07. Both components share identical circuit configuration (SPDT), current and voltage ratings, actuator characteristics, and mechanical life specifications. This ensures functional interchangeability in applications requiring snap action switching at the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Termination Difference: The primary distinction between these components is termination style. The GLAA01A-Q07 features connector termination, while the GLAA01A uses screw terminal termination. This difference requires assessment based on the specific application's wiring and connection methodology. Connector-terminated components are typically used in applications with quick-disconnect requirements, while screw terminal variants are used in permanent wiring installations.

Compliance and Availability: Both components maintain RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity). The GLAA01A is currently in active production status with documented inventory availability (1089 pieces), whereas the GLAA01A-Q07 is obsolete. Selection of the GLAA01A ensures access to current manufacturing and ongoing supply chain support.

Product Status Consideration: The transition from GLAA01A-Q07 (obsolete) to GLAA01A (active) represents a standard component lifecycle progression within the GLS series. The active status of GLAA01A provides assurance of continued availability and manufacturing consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the GLAA01A directly replace the GLAA01A-Q07 in all applications?

A: The GLAA01A provides electrical and mechanical equivalence to the GLAA01A-Q07 across all critical parameters including circuit configuration, current/voltage ratings, actuator type, and mechanical specifications. The primary consideration is termination style: the GLAA01A-Q07 uses connector termination while the GLAA01A uses screw terminal termination. Substitution is valid when the application's wiring infrastructure accommodates screw terminal connection.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference between obsolete and active?

A: The GLAA01A-Q07 is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. The GLAA01A is classified as active, meaning it is currently manufactured and supported by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions. For new designs and ongoing system maintenance, the active GLAA01A is the appropriate selection to ensure supply chain continuity and manufacturing consistency.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences between connector and screw terminal versions?

A: No. Both the GLAA01A-Q07 (connector termination) and GLAA01A (screw terminal termination) maintain identical electrical ratings: 6A AC at 120V and 550mA DC at 125V. The termination style difference is a mechanical interface consideration only and does not affect electrical performance parameters.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by equivalence in the following parameters: circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-Momentary), current ratings (6A AC / 550mA DC), voltage ratings (120V AC / 125V DC), actuator type (Side Rotary - No Lever), mounting type (Chassis Mount), ingress protection (IP67), operating force (33gfm), all travel specifications (26° operating position, 26° pretravel, 12° differential travel, 59° overtravel), operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C), mechanical life (15,000,000 cycles), and RoHS compliance status.

Q: How does packaging differ between these components?

A: The GLAA01A-Q07 is packaged with connector termination, while the GLAA01A is supplied in bulk packaging with screw terminal termination. Packaging format does not affect component functionality but may influence procurement quantities and handling procedures.

Q: Is the GLAA01A suitable for replacement in existing systems using GLAA01A-Q07?

A: The GLAA01A is suitable for replacement in existing systems provided the application's wiring and connection infrastructure can accommodate screw terminal termination. All electrical and mechanical performance characteristics remain equivalent. System integration assessment should focus on the termination interface compatibility.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both components?

A: Both the GLAA01A-Q07 and GLAA01A maintain RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity). Both components are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.50.7000 for regulatory and trade purposes.
