LSM6D-2A Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The LSM6D-2A is a snap action DPDT (double pole double throw) switch manufactured by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions, designed for chassis mount applications with Mom-Off-Mom switching function. This component is rated for 10A AC at 120V and 800mA DC at 115V, featuring a side rotary adjustable roller actuator with center neutral operation.

The LSM6D-2A is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this switch configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LSM6D-2A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Circuit configuration (DPDT), switch function (Mom-Off-Mom), current ratings (10A AC / 800mA DC), and voltage ratings (120V AC / 115V DC) must remain identical.

Mechanical Parameters: Mounting type (chassis mount), termination style (plug in), and operating temperature range (-1°C to 121°C) must be maintained.

Functional Parameters: Center neutral feature and side rotary actuator operation must be preserved.

Compliance Parameters: RoHS compliance and MSL rating (1 - Unlimited) must be equivalent or superior.

The LSM6D qualifies as a substitute based on complete alignment with all electrical, mechanical, and functional parameters. The primary distinction is the actuator configuration (side rotary without lever versus adjustable roller) and product status transition from obsolete to active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

LSM6D as Primary Substitute: The LSM6D is the direct functional equivalent to the LSM6D-2A. All electrical parameters, mechanical specifications, and operational characteristics are identical. The LSM6D maintains active product status with Honeywell, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical MSL ratings (1 - Unlimited), confirming environmental and reliability equivalence.

Actuator Consideration: The LSM6D features a side rotary actuator without lever, compared to the LSM6D-2A's adjustable roller configuration. Both actuator types operate within identical force parameters (46gfm) and travel specifications (18° pretravel, 10° differential travel, 57° overtravel), confirming mechanical compatibility within the HDLS series design envelope.

Supply Chain Status: Selection of the LSM6D eliminates obsolescence risk by transitioning to an active product line while maintaining complete electrical and functional equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LSM6D directly replace the LSM6D-2A in existing applications?

A: Yes. The LSM6D provides complete electrical and functional equivalence. Both parts share identical circuit configuration (DPDT), switch function (Mom-Off-Mom), current ratings (10A AC / 800mA DC), voltage ratings (120V AC / 115V DC), mounting type (chassis mount), and termination style (plug in). Operating force and travel characteristics are identical.

Q: What is the difference between the actuator types?

A: The LSM6D-2A features a side rotary actuator with adjustable roller. The LSM6D features a side rotary actuator without lever. Both operate within identical force specifications (46gfm) and travel parameters, confirming mechanical compatibility within the HDLS series.

Q: Why is the LSM6D-2A classified as obsolete?

A: The LSM6D-2A is no longer in active production. The LSM6D represents the current active equivalent within the Honeywell HDLS switch series, offering identical performance specifications with ongoing manufacturer support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The LSM6D-2A is specified with standard packaging. The LSM6D is available in bulk packaging. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Packaging selection should be based on procurement volume requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the LSM6D-2A and LSM6D are RoHS compliant with identical MSL ratings (1 - Unlimited). Compliance certifications are equivalent.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -1°C to 121°C, confirming thermal equivalence for all application environments within this specification.
