Crouzet 831700C8.AR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Crouzet 831700C8.AR is an SPDT snap action switch rated for 10A at 250V AC, designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting with PC pin termination. This switch is currently in active production status and is RoHS compliant. Equivalent and substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, regional availability, or specific application requirements where electrical and mechanical parameters align with system design specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Crouzet 831700C8.AR is limited by its electrical specifications. The primary constraint is the 10A at 250V AC rating, which defines the maximum load capacity. The Panasonic Electric Works AV3602649 operates at significantly lower electrical ratings (100mA at 125V AC/30V DC), making it unsuitable as a direct substitute for applications requiring the full 10A capacity.

Substitution is only valid when:

• Circuit configuration remains SPDT
• Switch function remains On-Momentary
• Mounting type remains Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination style remains PC Pin
• Application current and voltage requirements do not exceed the substitute part's ratings

The AV3602649 cannot be used in applications requiring 10A at 250V AC operation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Crouzet 831700C8.AR and Panasonic Electric Works AV3602649 share identical circuit topology (SPDT), switch function (On-Momentary), and mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle with PC Pin termination). Both parts are active products with current RoHS compliance status.

However, the electrical ratings are fundamentally incompatible. The Crouzet part is rated for 10A at 250V AC, while the Panasonic part is rated for 100mA at 125V AC with 30V DC capability. The Panasonic part also exhibits reduced mechanical life (500,000 cycles versus 10,000,000 cycles) and a narrower operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C versus -20°C to 130°C).

Selection of the AV3602649 is only appropriate for low-current applications (≤100mA) operating at voltages not exceeding 125V AC or 30V DC. For applications requiring the full electrical capacity of the Crouzet 831700C8.AR, no suitable substitute exists within the provided part list.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Panasonic AV3602649 replace the Crouzet 831700C8.AR in my application?

A: Only if your application requires a maximum of 100mA at 125V AC (or 30V DC) and does not exceed 85°C operating temperature. The Crouzet part's 10A at 250V AC rating cannot be matched by the Panasonic part.

Q: What are the key differences between these two switches?

A: The primary differences are electrical ratings (10A/250V AC versus 100mA/125V AC), mechanical life (10,000,000 cycles versus 500,000 cycles), and operating temperature range (-20°C to 130°C versus -25°C to 85°C). Both share identical circuit configuration, mounting type, and termination style.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Crouzet 831700C8.AR is RoHS Compliant, and the Panasonic AV3602649 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current RoHS requirements.

Q: What mounting and termination options do these switches offer?

A: Both switches are configured for through-hole, right-angle mounting with PC pin termination. They are mechanically and electrically compatible in terms of board integration, provided electrical load requirements are met.

Q: If I need a higher-current substitute for the Crouzet 831700C8.AR, what should I do?

A: Consult the manufacturer's full product portfolio or contact the component supplier for alternative SPDT snap action switches rated for 10A or higher at 250V AC with through-hole, right-angle mounting and PC pin termination.
