Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Crouzet 831700C7.DL is limited by its electrical performance specifications. The primary constraint is the current rating of 10A at 250V AC, which establishes the maximum load-switching capability. The SPDT circuit configuration and momentary switch function are functional requirements that must be maintained. Through-hole, right-angle mounting with PC pin termination are mechanical and physical requirements that determine physical compatibility with the target application.

The Panasonic Electric Works AV3602649 is listed as a substitute part number in the provided data. However, this part operates at significantly reduced electrical ratings (100mA AC/DC at 125V AC / 30V DC), which represents a substantial downgrade in current and voltage capacity compared to the Crouzet 831700C7.DL. Substitution with this part is only valid for applications where the actual load requirements do not exceed 100mA at 125V AC or 30V DC.

Key parameters governing substitution eligibility:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-Mom)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Current and voltage ratings (application-dependent)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Crouzet 831700C7.DL and Panasonic Electric Works AV3602649 are active products with current RoHS compliance certifications, ensuring regulatory alignment for new designs. The Crouzet part maintains a higher operating temperature ceiling (130°C vs. 85°C) and significantly greater mechanical cycle life (10,000,000 vs. 500,000 cycles), making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Selection between these parts must be based on actual circuit load requirements. The Crouzet 831700C7.DL is the appropriate choice for applications requiring 10A switching at 250V AC. The Panasonic AV3602649 is suitable only for low-power applications not exceeding 100mA at 125V AC or 30V DC. Both parts share identical mounting and termination characteristics, ensuring physical compatibility with through-hole, right-angle PCB layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: No. The Panasonic part has significantly lower electrical ratings (100mA vs. 10A current capacity, 125V vs. 250V AC voltage). Substitution is only valid for applications where the actual load does not exceed the Panasonic part's electrical specifications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and mounting footprints identical between these parts?

A: Both parts feature through-hole, right-angle mounting with PC pin termination. Physical compatibility is maintained for PCB layout purposes. However, actuator positioning differs (Crouzet has left-side mounting; Panasonic has right-side mounting), which may affect mechanical clearance in confined spaces.

Q: What is the difference in mechanical life between these switches?

A: The Crouzet 831700C7.DL is rated for 10,000,000 mechanical cycles, while the Panasonic AV3602649 is rated for 500,000 cycles. For high-cycle-count applications, the Crouzet part provides greater durability and longer service life.

Q: Do both parts meet current RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The Crouzet 831700C7.DL is RoHS Compliant, and the Panasonic AV3602649 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both parts satisfy current regulatory requirements for lead-free manufacturing and hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference, and does it matter for my application?

A: The Crouzet part operates from -20°C to 130°C, while the Panasonic part operates from -25°C to 85°C. The Crouzet part supports higher maximum operating temperatures, making it more suitable for high-temperature industrial environments. The Panasonic part has a slightly lower minimum temperature rating but is adequate for most standard industrial applications.
