Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A01-K qualifies as a substitute for the Crouzet 83264042 based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration: Both SPDT
• Switch function: Both On-Momentary
• Voltage rating: Both 250V AC
• Actuator type: Both lever, straight
• Mounting type: Both chassis mount
• Termination style: Both quick connect 0.187" (4.7mm)
• RoHS compliance: Both compliant
• Product status: Both active

Differing Parameters:

• Current rating: Honeywell rated for 16A AC (higher than 12A requirement)
• Operating temperature: Honeywell -25°C to 125°C (wider range)
• Mechanical life: Honeywell 5,000,000 cycles (exceeds 1,000,000 requirement)
• Operating force: Honeywell 200gf (higher than 51gf)
• Operating position: Honeywell 0.602" (15.3mm) versus 0.606" (15.4mm)

The substitute part exceeds or matches the main part specifications across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, maintaining identical form factor and termination compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A01-K is electrically and mechanically compatible with the Crouzet 83264042 for applications requiring SPDT snap action switching at 250V AC. Both components maintain active product status and full RoHS compliance with identical export classification (EAR99). The Honeywell substitute provides higher current capacity (16A versus 12A), extended temperature range (-25°C versus -20°C minimum), and significantly greater mechanical life (5,000,000 versus 1,000,000 cycles). Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements for operating force (51gf versus 200gf) and actuator sensitivity, as the Honeywell part requires greater actuation force. Both components share identical quick connect termination and chassis mount configuration, ensuring direct mechanical and electrical interchangeability within the specified parameter envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A01-K directly replace the Crouzet 83264042 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical circuit configuration (SPDT), voltage rating (250V AC), actuator type (straight lever), mounting method (chassis mount), and termination style (quick connect 0.187"). Physical dimensions are equivalent, with operating position variance of 0.004" (0.1mm). Direct substitution is mechanically and electrically feasible.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two switches?

A: The Honeywell part is rated for 16A AC current versus the Crouzet's 12A AC rating. Additionally, the Honeywell requires 200gf operating force compared to the Crouzet's 51gf, resulting in a more deliberate actuation characteristic. The Honeywell also provides extended mechanical life (5,000,000 cycles versus 1,000,000 cycles).

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The Crouzet 83264042 is supplied in standard packaging, while the Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A01-K is supplied in bulk packaging. Both maintain MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: Which part should be selected for applications with lower actuation force requirements?

A: The Crouzet 83264042 is specified for applications requiring lower operating force (51gf). The Honeywell substitute requires significantly higher actuation force (200gf) and is suitable only where this increased force requirement is acceptable.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the Crouzet 83264042 and Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A01-K are RoHS compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export purposes.
