Crouzet 831704C7.DL Snap Action Switch - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Crouzet 831704C7.DL is an SPDT snap action switch rated for 5A at 250V AC, designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting with PC pin termination. This component is in active production status and features an actuator mounted on the left side. The switch is specified for applications requiring reliable switching performance across an operating temperature range of -20°C to 130°C with a mechanical life rating of 30,000,000 cycles. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings and mechanical compatibility parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in circuit designs where the primary switching characteristics remain constant.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Crouzet 831704C7.DL is evaluated based on the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Both main and substitute parts must be SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw)
• Switch Function: On-Momentary operation must be maintained
• Mounting Compatibility: Through-hole, right-angle mounting with PC pin termination
• Electrical Ratings: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed the original specification
• Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature range and mechanical life cycles

The identified substitute part, Panasonic Electric Works AV3602649, shares the same circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-Momentary), mounting type (through-hole, right-angle), and termination style (PC pin). However, this substitute operates at reduced electrical ratings (100mA at 125V AC versus 5A at 250V AC) and is suitable only for applications where the lower current and voltage requirements are acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Crouzet 831704C7.DL remains the primary component for applications requiring 5A at 250V AC switching performance. Both the main part and the identified substitute (Panasonic AV3602649) maintain active production status and comply with applicable environmental regulations (RoHS and REACH). The Panasonic substitute is electrically and mechanically compatible only in applications where the circuit operates at reduced current (100mA maximum) and voltage (125V AC maximum) levels. The Crouzet part supports a wider operating temperature range (-20°C to 130°C versus -25°C to 85°C) and significantly higher mechanical life rating (30,000,000 cycles versus 500,000 cycles), making it the appropriate choice for demanding industrial applications. Component selection must be based on the actual electrical requirements of the target application circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Panasonic AV3602649 be used as a direct replacement for the Crouzet 831704C7.DL?

A: The Panasonic AV3602649 shares the same circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-Momentary), and mounting characteristics (through-hole, right-angle, PC pin termination). However, it is rated for only 100mA at 125V AC, compared to the Crouzet's 5A at 250V AC rating. Substitution is only valid if the application circuit operates within the Panasonic part's electrical limits.

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

A: The primary differences are electrical ratings (5A/250V AC versus 100mA/125V AC), operating temperature range (-20°C to 130°C versus -25°C to 85°C), and mechanical life (30,000,000 cycles versus 500,000 cycles). Both parts use identical mounting and termination methods.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Crouzet 831704C7.DL is RoHS Compliant, and the Panasonic AV3602649 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current environmental standards.

Q: What does "On-Momentary" switch function mean?

A: On-Momentary indicates that the switch maintains electrical contact only while the actuator is physically pressed. Upon release, the switch returns to its default state. Both parts operate with this function.

Q: Does packaging affect substitution compatibility?

A: Packaging (Crouzet supplied as "-" and Panasonic as "Bulk") does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Packaging refers only to how components are supplied and does not impact circuit performance.
