Crouzet 83263033 SPDT Snap Action Switch Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Crouzet 83263033 is an SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) snap action switch rated for 16A at 250V AC, designed for chassis mount applications with a straight lever actuator. This switch is currently active in production and RoHS compliant. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to inventory constraints, application-specific mechanical requirements, or termination style preferences while maintaining core electrical and functional compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Equivalent substitution for the Crouzet 83263033 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT
• Switch function: On-Momentary
• Current rating: 16A (AC) minimum
• Voltage rating: 250V (AC) minimum
• Actuator type: Lever, Straight
• Mounting type: Chassis Mount
• Termination style compatibility: 0.250" (6.3mm) connection standard

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Operating temperature range may exceed the original specification
• Mechanical life may exceed the original specification
• Pretravel, differential travel, and overtravel may vary within mechanical design tolerances
• Operating and release forces may vary within functional design parameters

The identified substitute parts maintain electrical equivalence (SPDT circuit, 250V AC rating, 16A or higher current capacity) and mechanical compatibility (chassis mount, straight lever actuator, 0.250" termination standard) while differing in termination connector type and operational force characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Crouzet 83263033 (Primary Part): Recommended for applications requiring RAST 5 Tab termination. All three parts are RoHS compliant and active in production status.

Honeywell V15T16-CZ300A02-K: Direct electrical equivalent with identical 16A current rating and 250V voltage rating. Suitable for applications where Quick Connect termination is acceptable. Mechanical life specification (5,000,000 cycles) exceeds the original part. Operating temperature range matches the original specification at the upper limit (125°C).

Honeywell V15H22-CZ300A02-K: Electrical upgrade with 22A current rating, providing margin above the 16A requirement. Suitable for applications where higher current capacity is beneficial. Quick Connect termination required. Extended operating temperature range (-25°C to 150°C) and superior mechanical life (5,000,000 cycles) available.

All substitute parts maintain SPDT circuit configuration, On-Momentary function, 250V AC rating, straight lever actuator, and chassis mount design. Termination connector type differs and must be evaluated against application wiring requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Honeywell V15T16-CZ300A02-K directly replace the Crouzet 83263033?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained. The primary difference is termination style: the Crouzet uses RAST 5 Tab connectors while the Honeywell uses Quick Connect. Application wiring must accommodate the termination change.

Q: What is the difference between the two Honeywell substitute options?

A: The V15H22-CZ300A02-K provides 22A current capacity versus 16A in the V15T16-CZ300A02-K. Both use Quick Connect termination and maintain SPDT circuit configuration. The V15H22 offers extended temperature range to 150°C.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Crouzet 83263033, Honeywell V15H22-CZ300A02-K, and Honeywell V15T16-CZ300A02-K are all RoHS compliant.

Q: What is the mechanical life difference between the original and substitute parts?

A: The Crouzet 83263033 is rated for 1,000,000 cycles. Both Honeywell substitutes are rated for 5,000,000 cycles, providing extended operational life.

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain the same operating temperature range?

A: The Honeywell V15T16-CZ300A02-K matches the original range (-20°C to 125°C at the upper limit). The V15H22-CZ300A02-K extends to 150°C maximum, exceeding the original specification.

Q: What termination styles are used across these parts?

A: Crouzet 83263033 uses RAST 5 Tab (0.250" / 6.3mm). Both Honeywell parts use Quick Connect (0.250" / 6.3mm). Both termination styles use the same 0.250" (6.3mm) connection standard.
