GLBC02A Snap Action Switch - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GLBC02A 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 is rated for 6A AC at 120V and 550mA DC at 125V, featuring a side rotary actuator with no lever and plug-in termination. The GLBC02A is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute parts essential for system maintenance, repair, and component sourcing in applications where this switch was originally specified.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GLBC02A is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitute identified is the GLBB02A, which maintains identical specifications across all critical functional dimensions:

Substitution Criteria:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT
• Switch function: On-Momentary
• Current rating: 6A AC / 550mA DC
• Voltage rating: 120V AC / 125V DC
• Actuator type: Side Rotary - No Lever
• Mounting type: Chassis Mount
• Termination style: Plug In
• Ingress protection: IP67
• Operating force: 33gfm
• Mechanical life: 15,000,000 cycles
• Operating temperature range: -25°C to 85°C
• RoHS compliance: Yes

The GLBB02A is part of the same GLS series and shares all electrical and mechanical parameters with the GLBC02A, enabling direct functional substitution in applications originally designed for the obsolete GLBC02A.

Parameter Comparison

Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, indicating no special storage or handling requirements. The GLBB02A is suitable for direct replacement in all applications originally specified for the GLBC02A, with no design modifications or circuit adjustments required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the GLBB02A directly replace the GLBC02A without circuit modifications?

A: Yes. The GLBB02A is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the GLBC02A across all specified parameters, including circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, actuator type, mounting configuration, and termination style. Direct substitution is supported without circuit redesign.

Q: What is the primary advantage of selecting GLBB02A over GLBC02A?

A: The GLBB02A maintains active product status with Honeywell, ensuring reliable supply availability. The GLBC02A is obsolete and subject to inventory depletion. The GLBB02A provides equivalent functionality with assured long-term sourcing.

Q: Are there any differences in RoHS compliance or environmental specifications between these parts?

A: No. Both the GLBC02A and GLBB02A are RoHS compliant and carry identical MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings. Environmental and regulatory compliance is equivalent.

Q: What mechanical parameters confirm substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution is confirmed by identical operating force (33gfm), operating position (26°), pretravel (26°), differential travel (12°), overtravel (59°), and mechanical life (15,000,000 cycles). These parameters ensure identical actuation behavior and durability.

Q: Are the plug-in termination connectors compatible between GLBC02A and GLBB02A?

A: Both parts feature identical plug-in termination style and chassis mount configuration. Connector compatibility is maintained for direct board-level replacement.
