The C&K 7101J2AV2SE2 meets all substitution criteria as a direct functional equivalent within the 7000 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 7101J2AV2SE2 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 7101J2AV2ME2. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical configuration, and regulatory certifications (cULus approval). The substitute part is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability.

Selection of the 7101J2AV2SE2 is supported by:

• Identical SPDT circuit configuration and On-On switching function
• Matching current and voltage ratings (5A AC/DC, 120V AC, 28V DC)
• Equivalent mechanical mounting (through-hole, right-angle, vertical orientation)
• Identical operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Matching electrical life specification (100,000 cycles)
• Equivalent epoxy sealed terminal construction
• Maintained cULus regulatory approval
• RoHS compliance status (both compliant)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7101J2AV2SE2 directly replace the 7101J2AV2ME2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical electrical ratings, mechanical configuration, and regulatory certifications. No circuit modifications are required.

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

A: The 7101J2AV2ME2 is obsolete, while the 7101J2AV2SE2 is in active production. Both parts are functionally equivalent across all critical parameters.

Q: Are there any packaging considerations when switching to the substitute part?

A: The 7101J2AV2SE2 is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the original part packaging specification was not provided. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?
