Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the V3L-2226 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw)
• Actuator type: Roller
• Mounting type: Chassis Mount
• Switch function: On-Momentary (On-Mom)
• Operating temperature range: -25°C to 85°C or broader
• Mechanical life: 1,000,000 cycles minimum
• RoHS compliance status

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Current rating: 15A or 16A (higher than original 10A rating)
• Voltage rating: 125V AC
• Termination style: Quick Connect (0.187" or 0.250") as alternative to solder
• Operating force range: 100gf to 250gf
• Electrical life: 50,000 cycles minimum

The substitute parts listed are from E-Switch (LS series) and APEM Inc. (MAB series), both active manufacturers with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings. These substitutes maintain functional equivalence through matching circuit topology, actuator design, and electrical performance specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Highest Compatibility):

The E-Switch LS0851505 series parts (LS0851505F160C1A, LS0851505F160C2A, LS0851505F250C1A, LS0851505F250C2A) provide the closest functional equivalence to the V3L-2226. These parts maintain SPDT circuit configuration, roller actuator design, and chassis mount topology. All LS series substitutes are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited MSL ratings and active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Selection by Termination Requirement:

• For Quick Connect 0.187" (4.7mm) termination: LS0851505F160C1A or LS0851505F250C1A
• For Quick Connect 0.250" (6.3mm) termination: LS0851505F160C2A or LS0851505F250C2A

The original V3L-2226 uses solder termination; however, quick connect termination provides equivalent electrical performance with improved assembly flexibility.

Alternative Substitute (Higher Current Rating):

The APEM Inc. MAB104G01C06B01A offers 16A current rating with 125V AC voltage specification, exceeding the original 10A rating. This part features extended operating temperature range (-10°C to 105°C) and is ROHS3 compliant. The MAB series is suitable for applications requiring higher current capacity or broader temperature performance.

Low-Voltage Application:

The E-Switch LS085R105F160C1A is specified for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC and is appropriate only for low-voltage control circuits. This part is not suitable for standard 125V AC applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LS0851505F160C1A directly replace V3L-2226 in existing designs?

A: The LS0851505F160C1A provides functional equivalence in circuit topology, actuator type, and electrical performance. The primary difference is termination style: LS series uses Quick Connect 0.187" terminals instead of solder. PCB layout modification is required to accommodate the different termination interface.

Q: What is the difference between LS0851505F160C1A and LS0851505F250C1A?

A: Both parts are SPDT roller switches with identical voltage (125V AC) and current (15A AC) ratings. The primary difference is operating force: LS0851505F160C1A requires 160gf activation force with 40gf release force, while LS0851505F250C1A requires 250gf activation force with 50gf release force. Select based on mechanical actuation requirements in the application.

Q: What does the "C1A" and "C2A" designation indicate in LS part numbers?

A: The terminal designation indicates Quick Connect terminal size. "C1A" specifies 0.187" (4.7mm) Quick Connect terminals, while "C2A" specifies 0.250" (6.3mm) Quick Connect terminals. Verify PCB pad spacing and connector compatibility before selection.

Q: Is MAB104G01C06B01A suitable as a substitute for V3L-2226?

A: Yes, MAB104G01C06B01A is functionally equivalent with SPDT configuration, roller actuator, and 125V AC rating. The 16A current rating exceeds the original 10A specification. The extended operating temperature range (-10°C to 105°C) provides broader environmental performance. Termination is Quick Connect 0.250" (6.3mm).

Q: Why is LS085R105F160C1A listed but not recommended for standard applications?

A: LS085R105F160C1A is specified for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC, making it unsuitable for 125V AC circuits. This part is included in the substitute list for reference only and applies only to low-voltage control applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited MSL ratings (1), matching the RoHS compliance status of the original V3L-2226.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: All E-Switch LS series substitutes maintain active product status with substantial inventory availability (827 to 9494 pieces in stock). APEM MAB104G01C06B01A is active with 788 pieces in stock. Active status ensures ongoing availability for production and field replacement requirements.
