GLEB01A1A Snap Action Switch - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GLEB01A1A is a snap action switch manufactured by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions, classified as a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) chassis mount switch with side rotary roller 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 GLEB01A1A carries an Obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system functionality and ensure continued availability for replacement, repair, and new design implementations where this switch specification remains applicable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GLEB01A1A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence: Circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-Momentary), current ratings (6A AC / 550mA DC), and voltage ratings (120V AC / 125V DC) must be identical.

Mechanical Equivalence: Actuator type (Side Rotary, Roller), mounting type (Chassis Mount), and termination style (Screw Terminal) must match exactly.

Environmental Equivalence: Ingress protection rating (IP67), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), and mechanical life (10,000,000 cycles) must be maintained.

Regulatory Equivalence: RoHS compliance status and Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1) must be preserved.

The GLEA01A1B substitute part satisfies all these criteria while offering Active product status, providing a direct functional replacement for the obsolete GLEB01A1A.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GLEA01A1B is a direct functional equivalent to the GLEB01A1A across all critical electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters. Both components are manufactured by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions within the GLS series and maintain identical performance specifications.

The primary distinction is product status: GLEB01A1A is classified as Obsolete, while GLEA01A1B maintains Active status. This status difference ensures continued manufacturing support, availability, and supply chain reliability for GLEA01A1B.

Both parts carry RoHS compliance certification and MSL 1 rating, satisfying regulatory requirements for modern applications. The GLEA01A1B is available in Bulk packaging with 1090 pieces in current inventory, compared to the GLEB01A1A with 1101 pieces in stock but obsolete classification.

A secondary material difference exists in the roller construction: GLEB01A1A features a Nylon roller, while GLEA01A1B uses a Steel roller. This material change does not alter the electrical or mechanical performance specifications and remains within the allowed parameter set for this product category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GLEA01A1B directly replace GLEB01A1A in existing applications?

A: Yes. The GLEA01A1B satisfies all critical substitution criteria: identical SPDT circuit configuration, On-Momentary function, 6A AC / 550mA DC current ratings, 120V AC / 125V DC voltage ratings, side rotary roller actuator, chassis mount configuration, screw terminal termination, IP67 ingress protection, -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range, 10,000,000 cycle mechanical life, RoHS compliance, and MSL 1 rating.

Q: What is the significance of the roller material difference between these parts?

A: GLEB01A1A uses a Nylon roller while GLEA01A1B uses a Steel roller. Both materials are within the allowed parameter specifications for this switch category and do not affect the electrical performance, voltage/current ratings, or mechanical life cycle rating. The material change reflects manufacturing evolution within the GLS series.

Q: Why is GLEB01A1A classified as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production of this specific part number. GLEA01A1B, as an Active product, represents the current manufacturing equivalent and ensures access to ongoing supply, technical support, and compliance with current manufacturing standards.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: GLEB01A1A is listed with "-" packaging designation, while GLEA01A1B is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Packaging format does not affect component functionality or substitution eligibility.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both GLEB01A1A and GLEA01A1B carry RoHS Compliant status and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, satisfying current regulatory and environmental standards for electronic component applications.
