Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER 0033.4514 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 0033.4561. Selection of the 0033.4514 is based on:

Product Status: The 0033.4514 maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support, whereas the 0033.4561 is classified as obsolete.

Compliance & Certifications: Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and hold equivalent approvals from CSA, SEMKO, and UR, ensuring regulatory equivalence across all jurisdictions.

Functional Equivalence: All electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters are identical, confirming direct functional substitution without circuit redesign or mechanical modification.

Packaging Consideration: The 0033.4514 is supplied in bulk packaging, which may differ from the original part's packaging configuration. Procurement processes should account for this difference in handling and storage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0033.4514 be used as a direct replacement for the 0033.4561?

A: Yes. The 0033.4514 is a direct substitute. All electrical ratings (6.3A AC, 250V), mechanical specifications (2-position, panel mount, 12.70mm cutout), and environmental parameters (-40°C to 85°C operating range) are identical. The primary difference is product status: 0033.4514 is active while 0033.4561 is obsolete.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: current rating (6.3A AC), voltage rating (250V AC), number of positions (2), switch function (On-On), circuit configuration (Series, Parallel Connections), mounting type (Panel Mount), termination style (Solder Lug), panel cutout dimensions (12.70mm circular), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C).

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and hold identical approvals from CSA, SEMKO, and UR. There are no compliance or certification differences.

Q: Does packaging affect the substitution decision?

A: Packaging format differs (0033.4561 packaging unspecified; 0033.4514 supplied in bulk). This affects procurement, storage, and handling procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement process.

Q: What is the mechanical life specification for these switches?

A: Both parts are rated for 300 mechanical cycles, indicating the expected number of switch position changes under normal operating conditions.
