GLAA26J1A Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The GLAA26J1A is a snap action DPDT (double pole double throw) switch manufactured by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions, designed for chassis mount applications with screw terminal connections. This switch is rated for 6A AC at 120V and 550mA DC at 125V, featuring a side rotary roller actuator with center neutral functionality and IP67 ingress protection.

The GLAA26J1A is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system functionality, ensure continued availability for maintenance and repair operations, and support long-term product lifecycle management.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the GLAA26J1A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Circuit configuration (DPDT), switch function (Mom-Off-Mom), current ratings (6A AC / 550mA DC), and voltage ratings (120V AC / 125V DC) must be identical.

Mechanical Parameters: Actuator type (side rotary roller), mounting type (chassis mount), and termination style (screw terminal) must match exactly.

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

Compliance Parameters: RoHS compliance status must be maintained.

The GLAA26J1B meets all substitution criteria and is identified as an equivalent part within the GLS series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GLAA26J1B is the direct equivalent substitute for the GLAA26J1A. All electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters are identical. The primary distinction is product status: the GLAA26J1A is obsolete while the GLAA26J1B is active.

For new designs and ongoing production, the GLAA26J1B should be selected. This part maintains full RoHS compliance and is available in active inventory status, ensuring long-term supply chain reliability and regulatory compliance.

For legacy system maintenance where the GLAA26J1A is currently installed, the GLAA26J1B provides direct functional equivalence without circuit redesign or mechanical modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the GLAA26J1B replace the GLAA26J1A in existing applications?

A: Yes. The GLAA26J1B is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the GLAA26J1A. All electrical ratings, mechanical specifications, and environmental parameters are identical. Direct substitution is possible without circuit or mechanical modifications.

Q: What is the difference between GLAA26J1A and GLAA26J1B?

A: The primary difference is product status. The GLAA26J1A is obsolete, while the GLAA26J1B is active. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (6A AC at 120V, 550mA DC at 125V), mechanical design (side rotary roller actuator, chassis mount, screw terminal), and environmental ratings (IP67, -25°C to 85°C operating range).

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the GLAA26J1A and GLAA26J1B are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level).

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The GLAA26J1A is supplied with standard packaging. The GLAA26J1B is available in bulk packaging.

Q: What is the mechanical life expectancy?

A: Both parts are rated for 15,000,000 mechanical cycles under specified operating conditions.

Q: Are these switches suitable for outdoor or wet environments?

A: Yes. Both parts feature IP67 ingress protection (dust tight and waterproof), making them suitable for harsh environmental conditions within the specified operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C.
