Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SCHURTER 3-136-741 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT
• Current rating: 5A (AC)
• Voltage rating: 125V AC
• Switch function: On-Momentary operation

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Mounting type: Panel Mount, Front
• Anti-vandal construction type
• Actuator type: Round, Button
• Termination style: Quick Connect - 0.110" (2.8mm)
• Panel cutout dimensions: Circular - 16.00mm Dia

Environmental & Compliance Requirements:

• Operating temperature range: -25°C ~ 85°C
• Ingress protection: IP40 minimum
• RoHS3 compliance
• REACH unaffected status

Substitute parts must satisfy all electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters without deviation. Product status transition from obsolete to active indicates continued manufacturer support and availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER 3-145-368 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 3-136-741 based on complete electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameter equivalence. The transition from obsolete to active product status indicates manufacturer discontinuation of the original part number with concurrent availability of the substitute through standard distribution channels.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions. The substitute part demonstrates equivalent performance across all specified operating parameters, including current and voltage ratings, circuit configuration, mechanical life cycles, and environmental operating conditions.

Selection of the active substitute part (3-145-368) is appropriate for new designs, system upgrades, and replacement procurement where the obsolete part (3-136-741) is no longer available through manufacturer inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SCHURTER 3-145-368 directly replace the 3-136-741 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 3-145-368 is electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters. Panel cutout dimensions, termination style, and mounting configuration are identical, enabling direct substitution without circuit or mechanical redesign.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from obsolete to active?

A: The obsolete status of the 3-136-741 indicates manufacturer discontinuation. The active status of the 3-145-368 confirms ongoing production, manufacturer support, and availability through standard distribution channels. This transition represents the manufacturer's recommended upgrade path.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions and environmental compliance are satisfied by both part numbers.

Q: What are the critical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: Substitution requires equivalence in circuit configuration (SPDT), current rating (5A AC), voltage rating (125V AC), mounting type (panel mount front), anti-vandal construction, actuator type (round button), termination style (quick connect 0.110"), panel cutout dimensions (16.00mm circular), and ingress protection (IP40).

Q: Is the operating temperature range identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -25°C to 85°C, ensuring equivalent thermal performance in industrial control applications.
