Honeywell V3L-3296 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Honeywell V3L-3296 is a snap action SPDT switch rated for 15A at 125V AC with chassis mount configuration and solder lug termination. This switch is designed for On-Momentary operation with a lever straight actuator. The part is currently active in production with RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Equivalent substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical ratings, circuit configuration, mounting type, and functional characteristics to ensure direct replacement capability in applications requiring SPDT snap action switching at 125V AC.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the V3L-3296 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Circuit type: SPDT configuration
• Switch function: On-Momentary operation
• Current rating: 15A AC minimum
• Voltage rating: 125V AC minimum
• Mounting: Chassis mount configuration
• Product status: Active production

The E-Switch LS0851500F100C2A and LS0851500F160C2A meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Both parts maintain SPDT circuit topology, 15A AC current rating, and 125V AC voltage rating with chassis mount design. Differences exist in actuator type (round pin plunger versus lever straight), termination style (quick connect versus solder lug), and mechanical operating characteristics (operating force and release force values). These differences represent design variations within the snap action switch category that do not prevent functional substitution when application requirements accommodate the alternative actuator and termination specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

V3L-3296 Primary Selection: The Honeywell V3L-3296 remains the primary component for applications requiring lever straight actuator with solder lug termination. This part is active in production with RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, supporting long-term supply continuity.

LS0851500F100C2A Substitution: The E-Switch LS0851500F100C2A provides electrical equivalence with 15A AC at 125V SPDT configuration. This substitute features round pin plunger actuation and quick connect termination. Operating force of 100gf and release force of 30gf differ from the V3L-3296 specifications. This part is ROHS3 compliant with active production status and supports operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C with 50,000 cycle electrical life rating.

LS0851500F160C2A Substitution: The E-Switch LS0851500F160C2A maintains identical electrical ratings and SPDT circuit configuration. Operating force of 160gf and release force of 40gf represent higher actuation requirements compared to the V3L-3296. This part is ROHS3 compliant with active production status and identical environmental specifications to LS0851500F100C2A.

Substitution Constraints: Termination style conversion from solder lug to quick connect requires circuit board or harness redesign. Actuator geometry change from lever straight to round pin plunger affects mechanical interface and mounting clearance. Operating force and release force variations impact user actuation requirements and may affect application performance in force-sensitive installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LS0851500F100C2A directly replace V3L-3296 without circuit modification?

A: Electrical substitution is possible based on matching SPDT circuit, 15A AC rating, and 125V AC voltage. However, termination style differs: V3L-3296 uses solder lug while LS0851500F100C2A uses quick connect 0.250" terminals. Circuit board or connector redesign is required for physical installation.

Q: What is the difference between LS0851500F100C2A and LS0851500F160C2A?

A: Both parts share identical electrical ratings, circuit configuration, and mounting specifications. Primary differences are operating force (100gf versus 160gf) and release force (30gf versus 40gf). Selection depends on application actuation force requirements.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: V3L-3296 is RoHS Compliant. LS0851500F100C2A and LS0851500F160C2A are ROHS3 Compliant. Both compliance levels satisfy RoHS requirements for electronic component substitution.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for substitute parts?

A: V3L-3296 does not specify operating temperature range in provided data. LS0851500F100C2A and LS0851500F160C2A operate across -25°C to 85°C temperature range with 50,000 cycle electrical life and 1,000,000 cycle mechanical life ratings.

Q: Can I use LS0851500F160C2A in applications requiring lower actuation force?

A: LS0851500F160C2A requires 160gf operating force compared to V3L-3296 at 88gf. Applications designed for lower actuation force may experience operational difficulty with this higher-force substitute. LS0851500F100C2A at 100gf provides closer force matching.

Q: Are all parts available in bulk packaging?

A: Yes. V3L-3296 has 2184 pieces in stock. LS0851500F100C2A has 1200 pieces in stock. LS0851500F160C2A has 1377 pieces in stock. All are supplied in bulk packaging.
