Crouzet 83261048 SPDT Snap Action Switch Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Crouzet 83261048 is an SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) snap action switch rated for 16A at 250V AC, designed for chassis mount applications with quick connect termination. This switch is currently active in production and widely available with 1057 units in stock. The V3D series lever-roller actuator switch is suitable for industrial control, appliance, and automation applications requiring reliable on-momentary switching action.

Substitute parts are identified when product discontinuation, supply constraints, or design requirements necessitate alternative components that maintain equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility within the allowed parameter tolerances for this switch category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Crouzet 83261048 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Circuit configuration must be SPDT
• Current rating must be 16A AC minimum
• Voltage rating must be 250V AC minimum
• Switch function must be On-Momentary

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Actuator type must be Lever with Roller
• Mounting type must be Chassis Mount
• Termination style must be Quick Connect - 0.187" (4.7mm)

Environmental & Compliance Requirements:

• Operating temperature range must encompass or exceed -20°C to 125°C
• RoHS compliance status must be maintained
• Moisture sensitivity level must be 1 (Unlimited)

The Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions V15T16-EZ200A06-K meets all electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria and is classified as a direct substitute, despite its obsolete product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: Crouzet 83261048

The Crouzet 83261048 is the recommended primary component for new designs and procurement. Active product status ensures long-term availability, supply chain stability, and manufacturer support. Current inventory of 1057 units supports immediate deployment. RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating confirm suitability for standard industrial and consumer applications without moisture sensitivity constraints.

Substitute Selection: Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A06-K

The Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A06-K is a qualified substitute when Crouzet 83261048 availability is constrained or supply is discontinued. Electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent across all critical specifications. The substitute demonstrates superior mechanical life (5,000,000 cycles versus 1,000,000 cycles) and extended temperature range (-25°C to 125°C versus -20°C to 125°C), providing enhanced performance margins in demanding applications.

Substitution Limitation: The Honeywell part carries obsolete product status. Substitute selection should be reserved for applications where supply of the primary component is unavailable and long-term component availability is not a design constraint.

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility across industrial, appliance, and automation control applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A06-K be used as a direct replacement for the Crouzet 83261048?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (16A, 250V AC, SPDT), mechanical configuration (lever-roller actuator, chassis mount, quick connect termination), and environmental compliance (RoHS, MSL 1). Physical and functional compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters.

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

A: The Crouzet 83261048 is rated for 1,000,000 mechanical cycles, while the Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A06-K is rated for 5,000,000 mechanical cycles. The Honeywell part provides a 5x performance margin in mechanical durability. This difference does not affect substitution eligibility but indicates enhanced longevity in high-cycle applications.

Q: Why is the Honeywell part listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete product status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production and support. The Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A06-K should be selected only when the active Crouzet 83261048 is unavailable. Existing inventory of 1224 units may support near-term requirements, but long-term supply cannot be guaranteed.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The Crouzet 83261048 is packaged in standard format, while the Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A06-K is supplied in bulk packaging. Both termination styles and connector configurations are identical. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference?

A: The Crouzet 83261048 operates from -20°C to 125°C, while the Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A06-K operates from -25°C to 125°C. The Honeywell part extends the lower temperature limit by 5°C, providing broader environmental compatibility in cold-temperature applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Crouzet 83261048 and Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A06-K are RoHS compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, confirming suitability for standard industrial and consumer applications without environmental restrictions.
