GLDA06C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GLDA06C is a snap action switch manufactured by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions, configured as a DPST-NC (Double Pole Single Throw - Normally Closed) chassis mount device. This switch is rated for 6A AC at 120V and 550mA DC at 125V, featuring a roller plunger actuator with IP67 ingress protection. The GLDA06C is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for system maintenance, repair, and component replacement in existing installations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GLDC06C is a direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete GLDA06C. Both components are manufactured by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions within the GLS series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all rated parameters.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: the GLDA06C is classified as obsolete, while the GLDC06C is active. This status difference makes the GLDC06C the appropriate selection for new designs, system repairs, and component replacement applications where the GLDA06C is no longer available through standard distribution channels.

Both parts carry RoHS compliance certification and MSL rating 1, confirming environmental and regulatory equivalence. The mechanical life rating of 15,000,000 cycles and operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C are identical, ensuring functional interchangeability in existing system designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the GLDC06C directly replace the GLDA06C in existing installations?

A: Yes. The GLDC06C is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the GLDA06C. All electrical ratings (6A AC at 120V, 550mA DC at 125V), circuit configuration (DPST-NC), actuator type (roller plunger), mounting type (chassis mount), and termination style (screw terminal) are identical. The components are interchangeable for direct substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference between these parts?

A: The GLDA06C is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer manufactured or supported by Honeywell. The GLDC06C is active, meaning it is currently produced and available through distribution channels. For new applications or component replacement, the GLDC06C should be selected.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the GLDA06C and GLDC06C carry identical RoHS compliance status and MSL rating 1. They meet the same environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Do these switches have identical mechanical specifications?

A: Yes. Operating force (1632gf), operating position (1.100" / 28.0mm), pretravel (0.120" / 3.0mm), differential travel (0.035" / 0.9mm), and overtravel (0.118" / 3.0mm) are identical across both parts.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these switches?

A: Both the GLDA06C and GLDC06C operate across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Q: Are these switches rated for both AC and DC applications?

A: Yes. Both switches are rated for 6A AC at 120V and 550mA DC at 125V, making them suitable for both AC and DC circuit applications within these specified parameters.

Q: What ingress protection rating do these switches provide?

A: Both the GLDA06C and GLDC06C carry an IP67 rating, indicating dust-tight and waterproof protection.
