Crouzet 831700C7.AR Snap Action Switch - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Crouzet 831700C7.AR is an SPDT snap action switch rated for 10A at 250V AC, designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This switch features a straight lever actuator and is classified as an active product with full RoHS compliance. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and circuit configuration can be maintained within the allowed parameter tolerances for the intended application.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Crouzet 831700C7.AR is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration must be SPDT
• Switch function must be On-Mom
• Mounting type must be Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination style must be PC Pin
• Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed application requirements
• Actuator mounting position must be right side
• RoHS compliance status must be maintained

The Panasonic Electric Works AV3602649 is listed as a substitute part. However, this part exhibits significant deviations in electrical ratings (100mA at 125V AC versus 10A at 250V AC) and mechanical performance characteristics (500,000 mechanical cycles versus 10,000,000 cycles). These differences indicate this substitute is suitable only for applications with substantially lower electrical and mechanical demands than the primary part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Crouzet 831700C7.AR and Panasonic Electric Works AV3602649 maintain active product status and comply with RoHS requirements, ensuring regulatory compliance for new designs. The Crouzet part carries full RoHS certification, while the Panasonic part is ROHS3 compliant.

Selection between these parts must be based on application electrical requirements. The Crouzet 831700C7.AR is specified for high-current applications requiring 10A at 250V AC operation. The Panasonic AV3602649 is rated for significantly lower electrical loads (100mA at 125V AC, 30V DC maximum). These parts are not interchangeable in applications requiring the full electrical capacity of the Crouzet switch.

Mechanical life expectations also differ substantially. The Crouzet part is rated for 10,000,000 cycles, while the Panasonic part is rated for 500,000 cycles. Applications requiring extended cycle life should retain the Crouzet specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Panasonic AV3602649 replace the Crouzet 831700C7.AR in all applications?

A: No. The Panasonic part has significantly lower electrical ratings (100mA versus 10A) and reduced mechanical life (500,000 versus 10,000,000 cycles). Substitution is only valid for applications with substantially lower electrical and mechanical demands.

Q: What are the key compatibility requirements for substitution?

A: Both parts must maintain SPDT circuit configuration, On-Mom switch function, through-hole right-angle mounting, and PC pin termination. Current and voltage ratings of the substitute must meet or exceed application requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Crouzet 831700C7.AR is RoHS Compliant, and the Panasonic AV3602649 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current RoHS requirements.

Q: How do the actuator types differ between these parts?

A: The Crouzet uses a straight lever actuator, while the Panasonic uses a round pin plunger actuator. This mechanical difference may affect mounting clearance and user interface characteristics in the application.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference between these parts?

A: The Crouzet operates from -20°C to 130°C, providing a wider high-temperature range. The Panasonic operates from -25°C to 85°C, with lower maximum temperature capability. Application thermal requirements must be verified before substitution.
