Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete TE Connectivity 82585-000 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the EVS series liquid level sensor switch product line. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

• Output configuration: SPST-NC/NO
• Current rating: 400 mA
• Voltage rating: 175V
• Mounting interface: Panel Mount with M16 thread
• Housing material: Nylon construction
• Operating temperature range: -30°C to 110°C
• Sensor type: Single float liquid level detection

The substitute part 20017775-00 satisfies all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is product status: the original part is obsolete while the substitute maintains active production status.

Mechanical Compatibility: The M16 thread panel mount interface is identical between both parts, allowing direct mechanical substitution without adapter modifications or mounting redesign.

Environmental Performance: Operating temperature range of -30°C to 110°C is maintained across both parts, confirming suitability for equivalent thermal environments.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part 20017775-00 carries EAR99 ECCN classification and defined HTSUS code 9026.10.2080, providing clear export control and tariff classification status for procurement and logistics purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 20017775-00 directly replace the 82585-000 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 20017775-00 maintains identical electrical output configuration (SPST-NC/NO), current rating (400 mA), voltage rating (175V), and mechanical mounting interface (M16 thread panel mount). No circuit modifications or mechanical redesign is required for substitution.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the 82585-000?

A: The 82585-000 is classified as obsolete, which restricts future availability and procurement options. The 20017775-00 is an active production part within the same EVS series, providing long-term supply chain continuity.

Q: Are the packaging formats different between these parts?

A: Yes. The 82585-000 is supplied without specified packaging designation, while the 20017775-00 is packaged in boxes. This difference affects logistics and storage but does not impact electrical or mechanical functionality.

Q: Do both parts operate across the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 82585-000 and 20017775-00 operate across the identical temperature range of -30°C to 110°C, confirming thermal compatibility for equivalent environmental applications.

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

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in output configuration (SPST-NC/NO), current rating (400 mA), voltage rating (175V), mounting type (Panel Mount M16 Thread), housing material (Nylon), and operating temperature range (-30°C to 110°C). All parameters must match for direct substitution.

Q: Is the 20017775-00 available in sufficient inventory?

A: Yes. The 20017775-00 maintains 1188 pieces in new original stock, providing adequate availability for procurement and deployment.
