Crouzet 83261841 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Crouzet 83261841 is an SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) snap-action switch rated for 16A at 250V AC. This chassis-mount switch features a round pin plunger actuator with quick connect termination and is designed for momentary off-mom operation. The part is active in production with RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Equivalent parts are identified when they maintain the same circuit topology, voltage rating, mounting configuration, and termination style while meeting or exceeding the current and mechanical performance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Crouzet 83261841 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Circuit and Function Requirements: The substitute must maintain SPST-NO circuit topology with Off-Mom switch function to ensure electrical compatibility in the application.

Voltage and Current Ratings: The substitute must support 250V AC operation. Current rating must be equal to or greater than 16A to handle the same load conditions.

Mechanical and Electrical Interface: The substitute must feature a round pin plunger actuator and chassis mount configuration to ensure physical compatibility. Termination style must be quick connect to maintain connection integrity.

Operating Conditions: The substitute must operate within or exceed the temperature range of -20°C to 125°C and demonstrate mechanical durability of at least 1,000,000 cycles.

Compliance and Status: The substitute must be RoHS compliant and active in production to ensure availability and regulatory alignment.

The Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions V15T22-CP100-K meets these criteria with a higher current rating (22A), extended mechanical life (5,000,000 cycles), and improved operating force characteristics, while maintaining the same circuit topology, voltage rating, mounting type, and actuator configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Honeywell V15T22-CP100-K qualifies as a direct substitute for the Crouzet 83261841 based on matching circuit topology, voltage rating, actuator type, and mounting configuration. Both parts are active in production and RoHS compliant, ensuring regulatory alignment and supply continuity.

The Honeywell substitute provides performance advantages including higher current capacity (22A versus 16A), extended mechanical life (5,000,000 versus 1,000,000 cycles), and lower operating force (100gf versus 204gf). The wider operating temperature range (-25°C to 125°C) offers additional environmental flexibility.

The primary consideration is the termination connector size difference: the Crouzet uses 0.187" (4.7mm) quick connect terminals while the Honeywell uses 0.250" (6.3mm) terminals. Terminal compatibility with the application's wiring harness or PCB must be verified before implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Honeywell V15T22-CP100-K directly replace the Crouzet 83261841 without circuit modifications?

A: The electrical circuit compatibility is direct due to identical SPST-NO topology and 250V AC rating. However, the quick connect terminal size differs (0.187" versus 0.250"), requiring verification that the application's connector receptacles accommodate the larger Honeywell terminal. No circuit modifications are necessary if terminal compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference (16A versus 22A)?

A: The Honeywell substitute's higher current rating (22A) means it can safely handle loads up to 22A without derating. If the application draws 16A or less, both parts operate within their rated capacity. The higher rating provides design margin and does not negatively affect performance in lower-current applications.

Q: Does the lower operating force of the Honeywell part affect reliability?

A: The lower operating force (100gf versus 204gf) indicates the Honeywell actuator requires less manual pressure to activate. This is a functional advantage in user-interface applications and does not compromise electrical or mechanical reliability. The Honeywell's superior mechanical life (5,000,000 cycles) demonstrates robust design despite lower actuation force.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same temperature range?

A: The Crouzet operates from -20°C to 125°C while the Honeywell operates from -25°C to 125°C. The Honeywell provides a 5°C lower temperature limit, offering broader environmental compatibility. Both parts meet the standard industrial temperature range.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these parts?

A: The Crouzet 83261841 is supplied in standard packaging with 1,089 pieces in stock. The Honeywell V15T22-CP100-K is supplied in bulk packaging with 738 pieces in stock. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance; selection depends on procurement quantity requirements and inventory management practices.
