Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the NGCMA50AX01C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Circuit configuration: DPST-NO/NC
• Current rating: 6A (AC), 550mA (DC)
• Voltage rating: 120V (AC), 125V (DC)
• Switch function: On-Mom, Off-Mom

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Actuator type: Roller Plunger
• Mounting type: Chassis Mount
• Termination style: Cable Leads
• Ingress protection: IP67 - Dust Tight, Waterproof
• Operating temperature range: -25°C to 75°C

Performance Equivalence Requirements:

• Operating force: 1122gf
• Release force: 306gf
• Operating position: 0.083" (2.1mm)
• Pretravel: 0.083" (2.1mm)
• Differential travel: 0.047" (1.2mm)
• Overtravel: 0.193" (4.9mm)
• Electrical life: 500,000 cycles
• Mechanical life: 5,000,000 cycles

Compliance Requirements:

The substitute parts NGCMA10AX01C and NGCMB10AX01C meet all specified parameters and are classified as active products.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both NGCMA10AX01C and NGCMB10AX01C are direct functional equivalents to the obsolete NGCMA50AX01C. Selection between these active alternatives is based on the following factors:

NGCMA10AX01C:

• Active product status with ongoing manufacturer support
• RoHS Compliant
• REACH Unaffected status
• Bulk packaging configuration
• Current inventory: 1178 pieces

NGCMB10AX01C:

• Active product status with ongoing manufacturer support
• RoHS Compliant
• REACH Unaffected status
• Bulk packaging configuration
• Current inventory: 821 pieces

Both parts satisfy all electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements specified for the NGCMA50AX01C. Selection should be based on packaging requirements, inventory availability, and internal procurement specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can NGCMA10AX01C or NGCMB10AX01C be used as direct replacements for NGCMA50AX01C?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical electrical ratings (6A at 120V AC), mechanical specifications (roller plunger, chassis mount, cable leads), and performance characteristics (operating force, travel distances, cycle life). All three parts are DPST-NO/NC configuration with On-Mom, Off-Mom function and IP67 ingress protection.

Q: What is the difference between NGCMA10AX01C and NGCMB10AX01C?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent across all electrical, mechanical, and performance parameters. The primary difference is the base product number designation (NGCMA10 versus NGCMB10). Both are active products with RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The NGCMA50AX01C was supplied with dash packaging designation. Both substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Verify bulk packaging compatibility with your assembly and procurement processes.

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. All three parts operate across the identical temperature range of -25°C to 75°C.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both NGCMA10AX01C and NGCMB10AX01C are RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

Q: What is the mechanical life expectancy of the substitute parts?

A: Both substitute parts are rated for 5,000,000 mechanical cycles and 500,000 electrical cycles, identical to the original NGCMA50AX01C specification.
