GLAC01A2A Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The GLAC01A2A 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. The device operates at 6A AC (120V) or 550mA DC (125V) and features a side rotary actuator with an adjustable nylon roller. The switch maintains Active product status and is RoHS Compliant with MSL Level 1 rating.

Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary component becomes unavailable, when inventory constraints require alternative sourcing, or when design flexibility permits selection from functionally compatible alternatives within the same electrical and mechanical parameter envelope.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the GLAC01A2A must satisfy the following critical parameters to ensure functional and mechanical compatibility:

Electrical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• 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-Momentary operation

Mechanical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

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

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range must encompass -25°C to 85°C
• RoHS Compliance status must be maintained
• Moisture Sensitivity Level must be MSL 1 or equivalent

Current Status: No substitute parts have been provided in the input parameters. Substitution analysis cannot be performed without explicit part data meeting the above criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GLAC01A2A maintains Active product status with confirmed RoHS Compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, indicating full availability and environmental regulatory compliance. Selection of any substitute component must preserve these compliance certifications and product status designations.

When substitute parts are identified, selection criteria must be based exclusively on:

• Matching electrical specifications (6A AC/120V, 550mA DC/125V minimum)
• Identical circuit topology (SPDT configuration)
• Identical actuator and mounting characteristics (side rotary, chassis mount, screw terminal)
• Equivalent or superior environmental ratings (IP67 minimum, -25°C to 85°C operating range)
• Maintained RoHS and MSL compliance status

No substitute parts are currently available for comparison against the provided input parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What defines a valid substitute for the GLAC01A2A?

A: A valid substitute must maintain SPDT circuit configuration, support 6A AC at 120V and 550mA DC at 125V, feature side rotary actuator with adjustable nylon roller, utilize chassis mount with screw terminal termination, and maintain IP67 ingress protection across the -25°C to 85°C operating range.

Q: Can switches with different actuator types substitute for the GLAC01A2A?

A: No. The side rotary adjustable roller actuator is a defining mechanical characteristic. Substitutes with different actuator types (push-button, lever, etc.) are not compatible.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for substitution?

A: The GLAC01A2A is supplied in Bulk packaging. Substitute parts must be evaluated for packaging compatibility within the procurement and assembly workflow.

Q: Does RoHS Compliance status affect substitution eligibility?

A: Yes. The GLAC01A2A is RoHS Compliant. Any substitute must maintain equivalent RoHS Compliance status to ensure regulatory and environmental requirement continuity.

Q: What is the significance of MSL Level 1 rating?

A: MSL Level 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture sensitivity constraints. Substitutes must maintain MSL 1 or equivalent rating to preserve storage and handling flexibility.

Q: Can the GLAC01A2A be substituted with parts from different manufacturers?

A: Yes, provided the substitute part meets all specified electrical, mechanical, environmental, and compliance parameters regardless of manufacturer origin.
