Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GLFD01A2B is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the Honeywell GLS series snap action switch family. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

  • Circuit configuration: SPDT
  • Switch function: On-Momentary
  • Current rating: 6A AC / 550mA DC
  • Voltage rating: 120V AC / 125V DC
  • Actuator type: Side Rotary, Adjustable Roller
  • Mounting type: Chassis Mount
  • Termination style: Screw Terminal
  • Ingress protection: IP67
  • Operating temperature range: -25°C to 85°C
  • Mechanical life: 15,000,000 Cycles
  • RoHS compliance: Required

The GLFB01A2B meets all mandatory parameters and is identified as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is product status: GLFD01A2B is obsolete, while GLFB01A2B is active and currently in production.
