Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7101J2AME2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Current rating (5A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Actuator type (Paddle)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (100,000 Cycles)
• Base product number (7101J)

The C&K 7101J2ASE2 meets all substitution criteria as an active product within the same 7000 series, maintaining identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factor.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 7101J2ASE2 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 7101J2AME2. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the C&K 7000 series rocker switch family. The substitute part carries active product status with cULus approval certification, ensuring continued availability and regulatory compliance for new designs and system replacements.

The 7101J2ASE2 is suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring SPDT rocker switch functionality at 5A/120V AC or 28V DC with through-hole, right-angle mounting configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7101J2ASE2 replace the 7101J2AME2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical circuit configuration (SPDT), current rating (5A AC/DC), voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and termination style (PC pin). The substitute part is mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. The 7101J2AME2 is obsolete, while the 7101J2ASE2 is active. Both maintain the same electrical specifications and mechanical form factor. The substitute part includes panel cutout dimensions (17.96mm x 10.62mm) in its specification.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the parts?

A: Both parts carry cULus approval. The 7101J2AME2 is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while the 7101J2ASE2 is RoHS compliant and REACH affected. Both meet regulatory requirements for their respective applications.

Q: What mounting configuration do these switches support?

A: Both parts are configured for through-hole, right-angle mounting with PC pin termination. Panel cutout dimensions for the substitute part are 17.96mm x 10.62mm rectangular.

Q: Are the electrical life ratings identical?

A: Yes. Both the 7101J2AME2 and 7101J2ASE2 are rated for 100,000 electrical cycles, ensuring equivalent operational longevity in switching applications.
