C&K 7101L41CWCLE22 Toggle Switch SPDT - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7101L41CWCLE22 is a panel-mount toggle switch with SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This component belongs to the C&K 7000 series and features a flat anti-rotation actuator with IP67 ingress protection. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance, repair, and redesign applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7101L41CWCLE22 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw)
• Switch Function: On-On operation
• Current Rating: 5A (AC/DC)
• Voltage Ratings: Minimum 120V AC and 28V DC
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount with 1/4-40 bushing thread
• Panel Cutout: Circular 6.35mm diameter
• Termination: PC Pin
• Ingress Protection: IP67 or equivalent environmental sealing
• Operating Temperature: -30°C to 85°C range

Substitute parts must maintain compatibility across all mechanical mounting parameters and electrical ratings. Variations in actuator type, actuator length, or electrical life do not preclude substitution provided core electrical and mechanical specifications are met or exceeded.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: C&K 7101L41CWCRE22

The 7101L41CWCRE22 is the direct successor within the C&K 7000 series. It maintains identical electrical ratings (5A, 120V AC, 28V DC), mechanical mounting specifications, and panel cutout dimensions. The part is currently in active production status. Key differences include RoHS compliance and epoxy-sealed terminals. This part is the preferred replacement for the obsolete 7101L41CWCLE22 in new designs and system upgrades.

Secondary Substitute: Grayhill Inc. 34ASP11B9M2QT

The 34ASP11B9M2QT provides functional equivalence with identical circuit configuration, current rating, and voltage specifications. It maintains the same panel mounting interface and PC pin termination. The part is in active production with ROHS3 compliance. Electrical life is rated at 40,000 cycles compared to 100,000 cycles for the C&K parts. Ingress protection rating is not specified. This substitute is suitable for applications where the reduced electrical life cycle is acceptable and environmental sealing requirements do not exceed standard industrial specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7101L41CWCRE22 be used as a direct replacement for the 7101L41CWCLE22?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (5A, 120V AC, 28V DC), SPDT circuit configuration, On-On switch function, and mechanical mounting parameters including panel cutout diameter and bushing thread specification. The primary difference is product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the significance of the electrical life difference between the C&K parts and the Grayhill substitute?

A: The 7101L41CWCLE22 and 7101L41CWCRE22 are rated for 100,000 electrical cycles, while the 34ASP11B9M2QT is rated for 40,000 cycles. Selection should account for the expected operational cycle count in the target application.

Q: Does the Grayhill 34ASP11B9M2QT meet the same ingress protection requirements?

A: The 34ASP11B9M2QT does not specify an ingress protection rating. The C&K parts are rated IP67 (dust tight, waterproof). Applications requiring IP67 environmental sealing should use the C&K alternatives.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 7101L41CWCLE22 and 7101L41CWCRE22 are supplied in standard packaging. The 34ASP11B9M2QT is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for procurement and assembly processes.

Q: What are the RoHS compliance implications for each part?

A: The 7101L41CWCLE22 is RoHS non-compliant. The 7101L41CWCRE22 is RoHS compliant. The 34ASP11B9M2QT is ROHS3 compliant. Selection should align with applicable regulatory requirements in the target market.
