Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The D3V-6G4-1C25 can be substituted with the D3V-164-1C25 based on the following substitution criteria:

Matching Parameters (Required for Substitution):

• Series: D3V (same product family)
• Circuit Configuration: SPDT (identical switching topology)
• Switch Function: On-Momentary (identical operational mode)
• Actuator Type: Lever, Simulated Roller (identical mechanical interface)
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount (identical installation method)
• Termination Style: Quick Connect - 0.187" (4.7mm) (identical connector interface)
• Ingress Protection: IP40 (identical environmental sealing)
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C to 105°C (identical thermal operating window)

Allowable Parameter Differences:

• Current Rating: D3V-6G4-1C25 rated 6A AC; D3V-164-1C25 rated 16A AC (higher current capacity is acceptable for applications requiring ≤6A)
• Voltage Rating: D3V-6G4-1C25 rated 250V AC only; D3V-164-1C25 rated 250V AC and 125V DC (extended voltage support)
• Electrical Life: D3V-6G4-1C25 rated 500,000 cycles; D3V-164-1C25 rated 100,000 cycles (lower cycle rating requires application verification)
• Mechanical Life: Both rated 10,000,000 cycles (identical)
• RoHS Status: D3V-6G4-1C25 RoHS Compliant; D3V-164-1C25 ROHS3 Compliant (both compliant)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The D3V-164-1C25 is an active production substitute for the discontinued D3V-6G4-1C25. Both components maintain identical SPDT circuit topology, mechanical interface, and environmental specifications. The D3V-164-1C25 provides higher current capacity (16A AC versus 6A AC) and extended voltage support (125V DC rating), making it suitable for applications operating at or below the original part's electrical specifications.

The D3V-164-1C25 carries ROHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements. The reduced electrical life rating (100,000 cycles versus 500,000 cycles) requires verification against application duty cycle requirements. Both components share identical mechanical life ratings and operating temperature ranges, ensuring compatibility in thermal and mechanical environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the D3V-164-1C25 directly replace the D3V-6G4-1C25 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the application current requirement does not exceed 6A AC at 250V AC. The D3V-164-1C25 maintains identical SPDT switching topology, chassis mount configuration, quick connect termination, and operating temperature range. Mechanical and electrical interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the higher current rating on the D3V-164-1C25?

A: The D3V-164-1C25 is rated for 16A AC, compared to 6A AC on the D3V-6G4-1C25. This higher rating provides design margin for applications operating at the original part's current specification. The substitute part can safely handle loads up to its rated capacity without derating.

Q: Does the reduced electrical life of the D3V-164-1C25 affect substitution suitability?

A: The D3V-164-1C25 is rated for 100,000 electrical cycles compared to 500,000 cycles on the D3V-6G4-1C25. Applications requiring cycle counts exceeding 100,000 must verify that the substitute part meets duty cycle requirements. Mechanical life remains identical at 10,000,000 cycles for both parts.

Q: Are there voltage compatibility differences between these parts?

A: The D3V-6G4-1C25 is rated for 250V AC only. The D3V-164-1C25 supports both 250V AC and 125V DC operation. For AC-only applications at 250V, both parts are fully compatible. DC applications at 125V can only use the D3V-164-1C25.

Q: What packaging is available for the D3V-164-1C25?

A: The D3V-164-1C25 is supplied in bulk packaging, matching the original D3V-6G4-1C25 packaging configuration.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The D3V-6G4-1C25 is RoHS Compliant. The D3V-164-1C25 is ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current regulatory standards for hazardous substance restrictions.
