Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER 0033.3555 is electrically and functionally equivalent to the 0033.6015 for applications requiring a 6-position line voltage selector switch rated at 10A AC, 250V with series and parallel connection capability. Both components meet ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry CSA and UR certifications.

The 0033.3555 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. The improved operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 70°C) provides additional thermal margin for demanding environments. The IP40 ingress protection rating on the 0033.3555 offers enhanced environmental sealing compared to the unspecified rating on the obsolete part.

The primary consideration for substitution is the termination style difference: the 0033.6015 uses solder lug termination, while the 0033.3555 provides both solder and quick connect 0.110" (2.8mm) options. Additionally, the 0033.3555 has a reduced depth behind flange (21.50mm versus 31.00mm), which may provide space advantages in compact panel designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0033.3555 directly replace the 0033.6015 in existing applications?

A: Yes, the 0033.3555 is electrically and functionally equivalent. Both components share identical electrical ratings (10A AC, 250V), 6-position configuration, series/parallel circuit capability, and panel mount specifications with 30mm circular cutout. Verification of termination compatibility and available panel depth is required for mechanical fit confirmation.

Q: What is the significance of the different series designations (SWS versus SWZ)?

A: The series designation indicates the product line within SCHURTER's selector switch portfolio. The SWZ series (0033.3555) represents the current generation, while the SWS series (0033.6015) is obsolete. Both series maintain equivalent electrical and functional specifications for this application category.

Q: Does the termination style difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. Both solder lug and solder/quick connect termination styles deliver equivalent electrical performance. The choice depends on installation methodology and panel assembly requirements. Solder lug termination requires soldering, while quick connect termination enables tool-free connection to 0.110" (2.8mm) spade terminals.

Q: Is the reduced depth behind flange (21.50mm versus 31.00mm) a concern?

A: The reduced depth on the 0033.3555 is advantageous for space-constrained panel designs. Verify that the available panel depth accommodates the 21.50mm dimension. This represents a 9.5mm reduction, which may enable more compact equipment layouts.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant and carry CSA and UR certifications. The 0033.3555 additionally carries VDE certification and includes IP40 ingress protection specification, providing enhanced environmental performance documentation.

Q: What is the inventory status for these components?

A: The 0033.6015 (obsolete) has 875 pieces in stock. The 0033.3555 (active) has 686 pieces in stock. For long-term procurement planning, the active status of the 0033.3555 ensures continued availability beyond current inventory levels.
