Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Honeywell LSA7L-5C

Part Overview

The Honeywell LSA7L-5C is a snap action DPDT switch designed for chassis mount applications with side rotary roller actuation. This component is classified as Obsolete and is no longer in active production. The LSA7L-5C operates at 10A AC (120V) and 800mA DC (115V), making it suitable for general-purpose switching applications requiring momentary contact operation.

Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations. The substitute part identified maintains functional and electrical compatibility while offering active product status and continued availability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LSA7L-5C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Circuit configuration must be DPDT (DB/DM)
• Switch function must be On-Mom (momentary contact)
• Current rating must support minimum 10A AC and 800mA DC
• Voltage ratings must match or exceed 120V AC and 115V DC

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Actuator type must be side rotary with roller mechanism
• Mounting configuration must be chassis mount
• Termination must be screw terminal
• Operating force must be 46gfm
• Travel specifications (pretravel 15°, differential travel 7°, overtravel 60°) must be identical

Environmental & Compliance Requirements:

• Operating temperature range must encompass -12°C to 121°C
• RoHS compliance status must be maintained
• Moisture sensitivity level must be 1 (Unlimited)

The LSXA4L-1A meets all substitution criteria and is identified as the equivalent part for the obsolete LSA7L-5C.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LSXA4L-1A is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete LSA7L-5C based on complete electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameter equivalence. All critical specifications match exactly, ensuring functional interchangeability in existing applications.

Product Status Consideration: The LSA7L-5C is classified as obsolete, while the LSXA4L-1A maintains active product status. This distinction is significant for long-term supply chain planning and component availability. The LSXA4L-1A is manufactured by the same supplier (Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions) and is currently in stock (685 pcs available).

Compliance Status: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility across applications.

Availability: The LSXA4L-1A is available in bulk packaging, whereas the LSA7L-5C is no longer in active production. For new designs or system replacements, the LSXA4L-1A should be specified to ensure continued component availability and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LSXA4L-1A be used as a direct replacement for the LSA7L-5C in existing applications?

A: Yes. The LSXA4L-1A is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the LSA7L-5C. All electrical ratings (10A AC at 120V, 800mA DC at 115V), circuit configuration (DPDT), actuator type (side rotary roller), mounting method (chassis mount), and termination style (screw terminal) are identical. The operating force and travel specifications are also equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the LSA7L-5C and LSXA4L-1A part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status and series designation. The LSA7L-5C belongs to the HDLS series and is obsolete. The LSXA4L-1A belongs to the LSX series and maintains active production status. Both are manufactured by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions and share identical functional specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The LSA7L-5C is supplied with standard packaging (not specified in available data), while the LSXA4L-1A is available in bulk packaging. For procurement purposes, confirm packaging requirements with your supplier, as this may affect order quantities and handling procedures.

Q: Does the LSXA4L-1A meet the same environmental and compliance standards as the LSA7L-5C?

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS compliant, maintain moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited), and operate across the identical temperature range of -12°C to 121°C. Compliance certifications are equivalent.

Q: Why should I transition from LSA7L-5C to LSXA4L-1A?

A: The LSA7L-5C is obsolete and no longer in active production. Transitioning to the LSXA4L-1A ensures long-term component availability, supply chain continuity, and access to current manufacturing quality standards. The LSXA4L-1A is functionally identical and currently in stock.

Q: Are the electrical ratings sufficient for my application if I was using LSA7L-5C?

A: If your application operated within the LSA7L-5C specifications (10A AC at 120V, 800mA DC at 115V), the LSXA4L-1A will perform identically. Both parts have identical current and voltage ratings. Verify your application requirements match these specifications before substitution.
