Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the GPTCRS11 is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT
• Switch function: On-Momentary
• Current rating: 15A AC minimum
• Voltage rating: 125V AC minimum
• Actuator type: Lever, Roller
• Mounting type: Chassis Mount
• Termination style: Screw Terminal
• Mechanical life: 20,000,000 cycles

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Operating force: 99gf (tolerance range acceptable)
• Release force: within 21–23gf range
• Operating position: within 1.15–1.25 inches
• Differential travel: 0.040 inches (1.0mm)
• Operating temperature range: minimum -55°C to 85°C preferred for extended environmental compatibility

The substitute parts listed below meet or exceed the primary matching parameters. Variations in secondary factors such as operating position, pretravel, and overtravel do not affect functional interchangeability when the primary electrical and mechanical specifications align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Preferred Active Substitutes:

BZ-2RW82555110T and BZ-2RW8299-A2 are both active production parts from Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions. Both meet all primary electrical and mechanical specifications of the GPTCRS11. BZ-2RW82555110T includes IP64 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant), providing enhanced environmental sealing compared to the GPTCRS11. BZ-2RW8299-A2 offers operating position closest to the GPTCRS11 at 1.150 inches (29.2mm) and reduced overtravel at 0.085 inches (2.16mm). Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry REACH Unaffected status.

Obsolete Alternatives:

BZ-2RW8238-A2 and BZ-7RW82135-A2 are obsolete Honeywell parts that meet electrical specifications but are no longer in active production. These parts should be considered only when active alternatives are unavailable. BZ-7RW82135-A2 exhibits differential travel of 0.110 inches (2.8mm), which differs from the standard 0.040 inches specified for the GPTCRS11 and other active substitutes.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance. The GPTCRS11 is ROHS3 compliant, while Honeywell substitutes are RoHS compliant. The active Honeywell parts (BZ-2RW82555110T and BZ-2RW8299-A2) carry REACH Unaffected certification, supporting regulatory requirements in EU markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BZ-2RW82555110T replace GPTCRS11 in all applications?

A: Yes. BZ-2RW82555110T meets all primary electrical and mechanical specifications: SPDT circuit, 15A AC at 125V, lever roller actuation, chassis mount, and screw terminal. The IP64 ingress protection rating provides additional environmental sealing not present in GPTCRS11, making it suitable for applications requiring dust and moisture resistance.

Q: What is the difference between BZ-2RW8299-A2 and BZ-2RW82555110T?

A: Both are active Honeywell substitutes with identical electrical ratings and mechanical life. BZ-2RW82555110T includes IP64 ingress protection; BZ-2RW8299-A2 does not. BZ-2RW8299-A2 has a shorter overtravel distance (0.085 inches vs. 0.156 inches), which may be advantageous in space-constrained applications. Operating position differs slightly: BZ-2RW8299-A2 at 1.150 inches is closer to GPTCRS11 at 1.156 inches.

Q: Why are BZ-2RW8238-A2 and BZ-7RW82135-A2 marked obsolete?

A: These parts are no longer manufactured by Honeywell. Obsolete status indicates discontinued production lines. Existing inventory may be available through distributors, but long-term supply cannot be guaranteed. Active alternatives (BZ-2RW82555110T and BZ-2RW8299-A2) are recommended for new designs and procurement.

Q: Does operating temperature range affect substitution?

A: GPTCRS11 operates from 0°C to 55°C. All Honeywell substitutes operate from -55°C to 85°C, providing extended temperature capability. If the application operates within the GPTCRS11 temperature range, all substitutes are functionally equivalent. If extended temperature operation is required, Honeywell substitutes provide superior performance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between substitute parts?

A: GPTCRS11 and BZ-2RW82555110T and BZ-2RW8299-A2 are supplied in bulk packaging. BZ-2RW8238-A2 and BZ-7RW82135-A2 packaging information is not specified. Confirm packaging requirements with the supplier before procurement.

Q: What does REACH Unaffected mean for BZ-2RW82555110T and BZ-2RW8299-A2?

A: REACH Unaffected status indicates the part does not contain substances of very high concern (SVHC) listed under EU REACH regulations, or quantities are below regulatory thresholds. This certification supports compliance with EU environmental and chemical safety requirements.
