Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions V15T16-CZ300 is identified as a substitute for the Crouzet 83161806 based on the following matching parameters:

Matching Criteria:

• SPDT circuit configuration
• On-Mom (momentary) switch function
• 250V AC voltage rating
• Round pin plunger actuator type
• Chassis mount configuration
• Quick Connect 0.250" (6.3mm) termination
• RoHS compliant status
• Active product status

Allowable Variation: The V15T16-CZ300 operates at 16A AC current rating, which exceeds the 5A requirement of the 83161806. This represents an uprated substitute suitable for applications where higher current capacity is acceptable or beneficial. The operating temperature range, mechanical life, and other mechanical characteristics differ but remain within acceptable engineering parameters for substitution purposes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Crouzet 83161806 and Honeywell V15T16-CZ300 maintain active product status and full RoHS compliance, ensuring continued availability and regulatory conformance. The selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements:

The Crouzet 83161806 is the primary choice for applications requiring the specified 5A current rating, extended temperature operation down to -60°C, and maximum mechanical cycle life of 20,000,000 cycles.

The Honeywell V15T16-CZ300 serves as a substitute when higher current capacity (16A) is required or when the application operates within the narrower temperature range of -25°C to 125°C. The reduced mechanical life rating of 1,000,000 cycles must be evaluated against application duty cycle requirements.

Both parts share identical circuit topology, voltage rating, actuator type, mounting configuration, and termination style, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility within the specified parameter constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Honeywell V15T16-CZ300 directly replace the Crouzet 83161806 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible when the application current requirement does not exceed 16A and the operating temperature range remains within -25°C to 125°C. The identical SPDT circuit, voltage rating, actuator type, and termination style ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility. Applications requiring operation below -25°C or with mechanical cycle counts exceeding 1,000,000 cycles require evaluation of the substitute's reduced specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference between these parts?

A: The Crouzet 83161806 is rated for 5A AC, while the Honeywell V15T16-CZ300 is rated for 16A AC. The higher rating of the substitute provides increased current capacity. In applications where the circuit current is 5A or less, either part is suitable. The 16A-rated substitute does not degrade performance in lower-current applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The Crouzet 83161806 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the Honeywell V15T16-CZ300 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical performance but may influence procurement, storage, and handling procedures.

Q: How do the mechanical life ratings compare?

A: The Crouzet 83161806 is rated for 20,000,000 mechanical cycles, while the Honeywell V15T16-CZ300 is rated for 1,000,000 cycles. Applications with high-frequency switching or extended operational life should prioritize the Crouzet part. Applications with moderate switching frequency may accept the Honeywell substitute.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the Crouzet 83161806 and Honeywell V15T16-CZ300 are RoHS compliant, ensuring compliance with environmental and regulatory requirements for restricted substances.
