GLAC01A1A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GLAC01A1A is a snap-action switch manufactured by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions, classified as an SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) chassis-mount switch. This component operates at 6A AC (120V) and 550mA DC (125V) with a side rotary roller actuator and screw terminal connections. The switch features IP67 ingress protection, nylon roller actuator, and is rated for 15,000,000 mechanical cycles. The product maintains Active status with RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 classification. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to support procurement flexibility, supply chain continuity, and design optimization across manufacturing environments.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the GLAC01A1A must satisfy the following critical parameters to ensure functional and mechanical compatibility:

Electrical Parameters:

• Circuit configuration must be SPDT
• Current rating must support minimum 6A AC at 120V
• Current rating must support minimum 550mA DC at 125V
• Switch function must be On-Mom (momentary operation)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Actuator type must be side rotary with roller mechanism
• Mounting configuration must be chassis mount
• Termination must be screw terminal
• Ingress protection must meet or exceed IP67

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range must encompass -25°C to 85°C
• Mechanical life must meet or exceed 15,000,000 cycles
• RoHS compliance status must be maintained
• Moisture sensitivity level must be MSL 1 or equivalent

No substitute parts have been provided in the input data. Substitution analysis cannot be completed without equivalent part numbers and their corresponding specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GLAC01A1A maintains Active product status with full RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 classification, indicating continued manufacturer support and environmental regulatory compliance. Selection of any substitute component must preserve these compliance certifications to ensure regulatory adherence in end-use applications. Electrical and mechanical parameter matching is mandatory; deviations in current rating, voltage rating, actuator type, or ingress protection rating will result in functional incompatibility. Chassis-mount configuration and screw terminal termination are fixed requirements for mechanical integration into existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What defines a valid substitute for the GLAC01A1A?

A: A valid substitute must maintain SPDT circuit configuration, support 6A AC at 120V and 550mA DC at 125V, feature a side rotary roller actuator with chassis mount configuration, utilize screw terminal termination, provide IP67 ingress protection, operate across -25°C to 85°C, and achieve 15,000,000 mechanical cycles minimum. RoHS compliance and MSL 1 classification must be preserved.

Q: Can switches with different actuator types replace the GLAC01A1A?

A: No. The side rotary roller actuator is a fixed mechanical requirement. Substitution with alternative actuator types (push-button, lever, plunger) will result in incompatibility with mechanical interfaces and operational characteristics.

Q: Are higher current or voltage ratings acceptable in substitute parts?

A: Yes. Substitute parts with current ratings exceeding 6A AC or 120V AC, and DC ratings exceeding 550mA or 125V DC, are acceptable provided all other parameters remain equivalent. Lower ratings are not acceptable.

Q: What is the significance of the IP67 ingress protection rating?

A: IP67 classification indicates dust-tight and waterproof operation. Substitute parts must maintain this rating or higher to preserve environmental protection in sealed or wet-environment applications.

Q: Does the 15,000,000 mechanical cycle rating require exact matching?

A: No. Substitute parts with mechanical life ratings equal to or exceeding 15,000,000 cycles are acceptable. Lower ratings indicate reduced operational durability and are not suitable.

Q: Is RoHS compliance mandatory for substitution?

A: Yes. The GLAC01A1A is RoHS compliant. All substitute parts must maintain RoHS compliance to satisfy regulatory requirements in restricted substance directives.
