GLAB01A1B-5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The GLAB01A1B-5 is a snap action switch manufactured by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions, classified within the GLS series. This SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) switch is designed for chassis mount applications with screw terminal connections and features a side rotary roller actuator. The switch is rated for 6A AC at 120V and 550mA DC at 125V, with IP67 ingress protection suitable for dust-tight and waterproof environments.

The GLAB01A1B-5 carries an Obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system functionality, ensure continued availability, and support ongoing maintenance and replacement requirements for installed equipment.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the GLAB01A1B-5 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 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 GLAC01A1B substitute part meets all these criteria and is manufactured by the same supplier within the same GLS series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GLAC01A1B is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete GLAB01A1B-5. Both parts are manufactured by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions and share identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications.

The primary distinction is product status: GLAB01A1B-5 is classified as Obsolete, while GLAC01A1B maintains Active status. This status difference indicates that GLAC01A1B is the current production equivalent and represents the recommended selection for new designs and replacement applications.

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and are certified to the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.7000) classifications. The substitute part is available in Bulk packaging, whereas the original part was supplied in standard packaging configuration.

For applications requiring the GLAB01A1B-5, the GLAC01A1B provides full electrical and mechanical compatibility without design modification or system reconfiguration.
