C&K 7101L2PD9AV2LE Toggle Switch SPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7101L2PD9AV2LE is a toggle switch with SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) configuration rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This through-hole mounted component features an anti-rotation actuator and epoxy sealed terminals, designed for On-On switching applications. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 7101L2PD9AV2LE is determined by the following critical parameters:

Direct Equivalent Category: Parts maintaining identical electrical ratings (5A at 120V AC / 28V DC), SPDT circuit configuration, On-On function, through-hole right-angle vertical mounting, and PC pin termination.

Similar Substitute Category: Parts with SPDT circuit configuration and On-On function but with reduced electrical ratings (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC), different actuator types, and lower electrical life cycles. These parts are suitable only for applications with lower power requirements.

The primary differentiator between direct equivalents and similar substitutes is the current and voltage rating capacity. Direct equivalents maintain the full 5A/120V specification, while similar substitutes operate at significantly reduced ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (7101L2PD9AV2RE): This C&K part is the primary substitute for the obsolete 7101L2PD9AV2LE. It maintains identical electrical specifications, mounting configuration, and actuator characteristics. The part is currently in active production status with 1164 units in stock. RoHS compliance is maintained. This part is suitable for direct replacement in all applications originally designed for the 7101L2PD9AV2LE.

Similar Substitutes (100SP1T3B4M7RE, 34ASP13B4M7RT): These parts are suitable only for applications with reduced power requirements (0.4VA at 20V maximum). The electrical ratings are substantially lower than the original specification. These parts feature standard round actuators rather than anti-rotation types and have reduced electrical life (40,000 cycles versus 100,000 cycles). Selection of these parts requires confirmation that the application does not exceed 0.4VA at 20V operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7101L2PD9AV2RE be used as a direct replacement for the 7101L2PD9AV2LE?

A: Yes. The 7101L2PD9AV2RE maintains identical electrical ratings (5A at 120V AC / 28V DC), circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-On), mounting type (through-hole right-angle vertical), and termination style (PC pin). The part is in active production status.

Q: What are the limitations of the E-Switch 100SP1T3B4M7RE and Grayhill 34ASP13B4M7RT substitutes?

A: These parts operate at significantly reduced electrical ratings (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC compared to 5A at 120V AC / 28V DC). They feature standard round actuators instead of anti-rotation actuators and have lower electrical life ratings (40,000 cycles versus 100,000 cycles). These parts are suitable only for low-power applications within their specified voltage and current limits.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The direct equivalent 7101L2PD9AV2RE is RoHS compliant. The similar substitutes 100SP1T3B4M7RE and 34ASP13B4M7RT are RoHS3 compliant and RoHS compliant respectively.

Q: What is the difference between the actuator types?

A: The original part and direct equivalent feature anti-rotation actuators (15.75mm length), which prevent unintended rotation during operation. The similar substitutes feature standard round actuators (13.97mm length) without anti-rotation capability.

Q: Can I use a similar substitute in a high-power application?

A: No. The similar substitutes are rated for 0.4VA at 20V maximum. Applications requiring 5A at 120V AC or 28V DC must use the direct equivalent 7101L2PD9AV2RE.
