Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SCHURTER 0033.3557 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Specifications: Current rating (10A AC), voltage rating (250V AC), and circuit configuration (series, parallel connections) must be identical
• Mechanical Interface: Panel mount configuration with 30.00mm circular cutout diameter and 21.50mm depth behind flange must match exactly
• Functional Requirements: 6-position selector with On-On-On-On-On-On switch function
• Termination Compatibility: Solder and quick connect 0.110" (2.8mm) termination style
• Environmental and Regulatory Compliance: Operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), IP40 ingress protection, ROHS3 compliance, and CSA/UR/VDE approvals

The SCHURTER 0033.3514 meets all substitution criteria as an active product within the same SWZ series, providing direct functional and mechanical equivalence.
