• Electrical life differs (50,000 cycles vs. not specified)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Crouzet 83263042 and Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A01-K are active products with RoHS compliance and identical electrical ratings (16A, 250V AC, SPDT configuration). Selection between these parts should be based on mechanical operating characteristics specific to the application:

• The Crouzet 83263042 features lower operating force (102gf) and release force (20gf), suitable for applications requiring lighter actuation.
• The Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A01-K features higher operating force (200gf) and release force (50gf), with extended mechanical life (5,000,000 cycles) and specified electrical life (50,000 cycles), suitable for high-cycle applications.
• Both parts maintain compatible operating positions (15.3mm to 15.4mm) and differential travel (0.016"), ensuring mechanical interchangeability in chassis mount configurations.
• The Honeywell part supports a lower minimum operating temperature (-25°C vs. -20°C), providing broader thermal range coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A01-K directly replace the Crouzet 83263042?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical mounting perspective. Both parts share identical circuit configuration (SPDT), current rating (16A AC), voltage rating (250V AC), actuator type (lever, straight), mounting type (chassis mount), and termination style (quick connect 0.187"). However, the higher operating force and release force of the Honeywell part may affect user interface feel and should be evaluated for the specific application.

Q: What are the key differences in mechanical operation?

A: The Crouzet 83263042 requires 102gf operating force and 20gf release force, while the Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A01-K requires 200gf operating force and 50gf release force. The Honeywell part also provides higher mechanical life (5,000,000 cycles vs. 1,000,000 cycles) and specified electrical life (50,000 cycles).
