Crouzet 83262048 SPDT Snap Action Switch Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Crouzet 83262048 is an SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) snap action switch rated for 20A at 250V AC, designed for chassis mount applications with quick connect termination. This switch is currently active in production and widely available. Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part reaches end-of-life status, inventory constraints occur, or when design flexibility allows for functionally compatible alternatives that meet application requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Crouzet 83262048 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Circuit configuration must be SPDT
• Switch function must be On-Momentary
• Voltage rating must be 250V AC minimum
• Current rating must be 20A AC or greater
• Actuator type must be Lever with Roller
• Mounting type must be Chassis Mount
• Termination style must be Quick Connect - 0.187" (4.7mm)
• Operating temperature range must encompass -20°C to 125°C or broader

The Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions part V15T16-EZ200A06-K meets these core electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements, though with noted differences in current rating and operational characteristics detailed in the parameter comparison.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Crouzet 83262048 remains the preferred selection for new designs and applications requiring active product support. The part is RoHS compliant, currently in production, and meets all specified electrical and mechanical requirements.

The Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A06-K may be considered as a substitute only when the Crouzet 83262048 is unavailable. Key considerations for substitution:

• The Honeywell part is rated for 16A AC versus the Crouzet's 20A AC rating. Applications operating at or near 20A must be re-evaluated to confirm the lower current rating is acceptable.
• The Honeywell part is marked as obsolete, limiting long-term availability and support.
• Both parts are RoHS compliant and suitable for equivalent regulatory environments.
• The Honeywell part offers superior mechanical life (5,000,000 cycles versus 1,000,000 cycles) and a broader operating temperature range (-25°C to 125°C versus -20°C to 125°C).
• Actuation force differences (120gf versus 102gf) and release force differences (20gf versus 25gf) may affect user interface feel and should be evaluated in manual control applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A06-K directly replace the Crouzet 83262048 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only if the application current draw does not exceed 16A AC. The Honeywell part's lower current rating is the primary limiting factor. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are compatible.

Q: What is the impact of the current rating difference?

A: The Crouzet 83262048 is rated for 20A AC, while the Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A06-K is rated for 16A AC. If your application draws more than 16A, the Honeywell substitute is not suitable. Verify actual circuit current before substitution.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the Crouzet 83262048 and Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A06-K are RoHS compliant.

Q: Why is the Honeywell part marked as obsolete?

A: The Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A06-K is no longer in active production. While inventory may be available, long-term sourcing and technical support cannot be guaranteed. The Crouzet 83262048 is the recommended choice for designs requiring sustained availability.

Q: How do the operating force differences affect compatibility?

A: The Honeywell part requires 120gf operating force compared to the Crouzet's 102gf. This 18gf difference may be noticeable in manual lever-actuated applications. Test in your specific mechanical interface if user actuation feel is critical.

Q: What is the significance of the mechanical life difference?

A: The Honeywell part offers 5,000,000 mechanical cycles versus the Crouzet's 1,000,000 cycles. For high-cycle applications, the Honeywell substitute provides extended service life, though this advantage is offset by its obsolete status and lower current rating.

Q: Are the termination styles identical?

A: Yes, both parts use Quick Connect - 0.187" (4.7mm) termination, ensuring electrical connection compatibility without modification.
