DTV6-2RN Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The DTV6-2RN is an active, RoHS-compliant snap action switch manufactured by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions. This DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) chassis mount switch is designed for applications requiring 10A AC at 125V with a round pin plunger actuator and screw terminal connections. The switch features IP66 ingress protection and an actuator seal boot, making it suitable for environments requiring dust-tight and water-resistant operation.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part's specifications, enabling direct replacement in compatible applications while maintaining circuit functionality and environmental protection ratings.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DTV6-2RN is determined by alignment in the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Voltage rating (AC/DC): Must support 125V AC minimum
• Current capacity: Must support 10A AC minimum
• Switch function: On-Momentary operation required

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Actuator type: Round pin plunger configuration
• Mounting type: Chassis mount
• Termination style: Screw terminal connections
• Operating position and travel characteristics within acceptable ranges

Environmental & Compliance:

• Ingress protection: IP65 or higher
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass or overlap -32°C to 71°C
• RoHS compliance status: Must be RoHS compliant

The ZV-N-2S has been identified as a substitute part based on shared mechanical mounting, actuator configuration, termination style, voltage rating, and compliance certifications. However, circuit configuration differs (SPDT vs. DPDT), and this distinction must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DTV6-2RN Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring DPDT circuit configuration with dual independent switching paths
• Environments demanding IP66 ingress protection (dust-tight, water-resistant)
• Operating conditions within -32°C to 71°C range
• 10A AC at 125V load requirements
• Honeywell component standardization or supply chain requirements

ZV-N-2S Selection Criteria:

• Applications compatible with SPDT circuit configuration (single pole switching)
• Environments where IP65 ingress protection is sufficient
• Operating conditions within -10°C to 80°C range
• 15A AC at 125V load capacity (higher current rating available)
• Omron component standardization or supply chain requirements
• Applications where higher electrical and mechanical life cycles are specified (500,000 electrical cycles; 10,000,000 mechanical cycles)

Critical Consideration: Circuit configuration difference (DPDT vs. SPDT) is the primary technical distinction. Direct substitution is only valid when the application circuit design accommodates SPDT operation. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and active product status, supporting long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ZV-N-2S directly replace the DTV6-2RN in all applications?

A: No. The ZV-N-2S uses SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) configuration, while the DTV6-2RN uses DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw). Direct replacement is only valid when the application circuit is designed for SPDT operation. DPDT applications require the dual independent switching paths that SPDT cannot provide.

Q: What is the difference between IP66 and IP65 ingress protection ratings?

A: IP66 provides dust-tight and water-resistant protection against powerful water jets. IP65 provides dust-tight and water-resistant protection against water jets from any direction. The DTV6-2RN (IP66) offers higher environmental protection than the ZV-N-2S (IP65).

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the DTV6-2RN and ZV-N-2S are RoHS compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What are the operating temperature differences?

A: The DTV6-2RN operates from -32°C to 71°C. The ZV-N-2S operates from -10°C to 80°C. The ZV-N-2S has a higher upper temperature limit but a higher lower temperature limit. Applications requiring operation below -10°C require the DTV6-2RN.

Q: How do the current ratings compare?

A: The DTV6-2RN is rated for 10A AC and 300mA DC. The ZV-N-2S is rated for 15A AC and 500mA DC. The ZV-N-2S has higher current capacity, making it suitable for higher-load applications within the 125V rating.

Q: Are the mechanical travel characteristics identical?

A: No. Pretravel differs (DTV6-2RN: 0.110"; ZV-N-2S: 0.080") and overtravel differs (DTV6-2RN: 0.125"; ZV-N-2S: 0.197"). These differences may affect actuation feel and mechanical response in sensitive applications.

Q: Do both parts use the same mounting and termination?

A: Yes. Both parts use chassis mount configuration with screw terminal connections and identical 2.811" (71.4mm) operating position, ensuring mechanical compatibility in mounting applications.

Q: What is the inventory status for both parts?

A: The DTV6-2RN has 806 pieces in stock. The ZV-N-2S has 739 pieces in stock. Both are available as new original components in bulk packaging.
