GLBD02C Snap Action Switch - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GLBD02C is a snap action switch manufactured by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions, classified as an SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) chassis mount switch with a roller plunger actuator. This component is rated for 6A AC at 120V and 550mA DC at 125V, featuring IP67 ingress protection suitable for dust-tight and waterproof applications.

The GLBD02C is currently listed as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this switch configuration.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating. The GLBA02C-F025 carries ECCN EAR99 classification and HTSUS code 8536.50.9055, confirming regulatory alignment for industrial switch applications.

Supply Chain Continuity: Current inventory of 1,107 pieces for the GLBA02C-F025 provides immediate availability for production and maintenance applications, addressing the supply constraints associated with the obsolete GLBD02C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the GLBA02C-F025 be used as a direct replacement for the GLBD02C in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The GLBA02C-F025 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the GLBD02C across all specified parameters. Identical circuit configuration (SPDT), current ratings (6A AC, 550mA DC), voltage ratings (120V AC, 125V DC), actuator type (roller plunger), mounting type (chassis mount), and termination style (plug in) confirm direct substitutability. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between the GLBD02C and GLBA02C-F025?

A: The primary difference is product status. The GLBD02C is obsolete, while the GLBA02C-F025 is active. Both parts are manufactured by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions within the GLS series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The GLBA02C-F025 represents the current production equivalent.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with chassis mount installation?

A: No. Both parts feature identical chassis mount configuration with plug-in termination style. Physical dimensions, operating force (1632gf), operating position (1.890" / 48.0mm), pretravel (0.100" / 2.5mm), differential travel (0.035" / 0.9mm), and overtravel (0.180" / 4.6mm) are identical, ensuring seamless installation compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the GLBD02C and GLBA02C-F025 are rated for IP67 ingress protection (dust-tight, waterproof), operate across -25°C to 85°C, support 15,000,000 mechanical cycles, maintain RoHS compliance, and carry MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating. Environmental performance and regulatory compliance are equivalent.

Q: Is the GLBA02C-F025 available for immediate procurement?

A: Yes. The GLBA02C-F025 has current inventory of 1,107 pieces listed as new original stock, providing immediate availability for production and replacement applications.
