Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GLDB07A1A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT
• Switch function: On-Mom
• Current rating: 100mA (AC/DC)
• Voltage rating: 50V AC and 50V DC

Mechanical Equivalence:

• Actuator type: Side Rotary, Roller
• Mounting type: Chassis Mount
• Termination style: Screw Terminal
• Operating force: 12gfm
• Operating position: 26°
• Pretravel: 26°
• Differential travel: 12°
• Overtravel: 49°

Environmental & Compliance Equivalence:

• Ingress protection: IP67
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C
• Mechanical life: 10,000,000 cycles
• RoHS compliance

The GLCB07A1B-3 meets all these criteria and is identified as the direct substitute for the obsolete GLDB07A1A.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GLCB07A1B-3 is the direct functional equivalent and substitute for the obsolete GLDB07A1A. Selection of the GLCB07A1B-3 is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The GLCB07A1B-3 maintains active product status with Honeywell, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support. The GLDB07A1A is obsolete and no longer manufactured.

Electrical & Mechanical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters (circuit, function, current, voltage) and mechanical parameters (actuator, mounting, termination, operating characteristics) are identical between the two parts.

Compliance & Certifications: Both parts are RoHS compliant and rated for identical operating temperature ranges and mechanical life cycles. The GLCB07A1B-3 carries REACH Unaffected status, providing additional regulatory clarity.

Material Difference: The GLCB07A1B-3 features a steel roller actuator compared to the nylon roller in the GLDB07A1A. This material change does not affect electrical or mechanical switching performance and represents a design improvement in durability.

Packaging: The GLCB07A1B-3 is available in bulk packaging, supporting both prototype and production-volume applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the GLCB07A1B-3 be used as a direct replacement for the GLDB07A1A in existing designs?

A: Yes. The GLCB07A1B-3 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the GLDB07A1A across all specified parameters. Chassis mount orientation, screw terminal connections, and switching characteristics are identical. No circuit redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference between the nylon roller in the GLDB07A1A and the steel roller in the GLCB07A1B-3?

A: The roller material differs, but both materials perform the same switching function. Steel rollers provide increased durability and wear resistance in high-cycle applications. This change does not affect electrical performance or switching characteristics.

Q: Why is the GLDB07A1A listed as obsolete?

A: The GLDB07A1A has been discontinued by Honeywell. The GLCB07A1B-3 represents the current active equivalent in the GLS series and is the recommended part for new designs and replacements.

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

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and operate across the same temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). The GLCB07A1B-3 carries additional REACH Unaffected status. Both parts carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What packaging options are available for the GLCB07A1B-3?

A: The GLCB07A1B-3 is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for both prototype evaluation and production orders.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 100mA at 50V AC/DC with SPDT circuit configuration and On-Mom switch function. Voltage and current ratings are identical.

Q: What is the mechanical life expectancy for the GLCB07A1B-3?

A: The GLCB07A1B-3 is rated for 10,000,000 mechanical cycles, identical to the GLDB07A1A.
