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

Part Overview

The C&K 7101MYAME is a panel-mount toggle switch with SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The switch features epoxy-sealed terminals, a standard round actuator, and PC pin termination suitable for industrial control applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility: Panel mount configuration, right angle orientation, standard round actuator, 5.08mm actuator length, circular 6.35mm diameter panel cutout, and 1/4-40 bushing thread must match or be compatible with the original design.

Electrical Compatibility: SPDT circuit configuration and On-On switch function are mandatory. Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed the application requirements (5A minimum at 120V AC / 28V DC minimum).

Termination: PC pin termination style ensures direct compatibility with existing PCB layouts.

Environmental Compliance: RoHS and REACH compliance status are evaluated for regulatory alignment.

Substitute parts are classified as either direct equivalents (matching all critical parameters with active product status) or similar alternatives (meeting electrical and mechanical requirements with potential derating considerations).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Recommended Primary Choice):

The C&K 7101MYASE is the direct equivalent replacement for the obsolete 7101MYAME. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (5A at 120V AC / 28V DC), mechanical configuration, and panel cutout specifications. The 7101MYASE maintains active product status with full RoHS compliance and equivalent electrical life (100,000 cycles). This part provides seamless substitution with no design modifications required.

Similar Alternatives (Application-Dependent):

The Electroswitch A123M1DAQ and A123M1YAG offer higher current ratings (6A) and slightly elevated AC voltage ratings (125V), making them suitable for applications requiring additional margin. Both parts maintain the same mechanical interface and operating temperature range. Electrical life is reduced to 60,000 cycles compared to the original specification.

The E-Switch 100SP1T2B1M6RE is suitable only for low-power applications. Its 0.4VA rating and 20V maximum voltage represent significant derating from the original 5A / 120V specification. This part is not recommended for applications matching the original electrical requirements.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance. The direct equivalent (7101MYASE) and Electroswitch alternatives carry active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7101MYASE directly replace the obsolete 7101MYAME without design changes?

A: Yes. The 7101MYASE is a direct equivalent with identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, panel cutout specifications, and termination style. No PCB or panel modifications are required.

Q: Are the Electroswitch A123M1DAQ and A123M1YAG interchangeable with the original part?

A: These parts are mechanically and functionally compatible but represent a design change. They provide higher current capacity (6A vs. 5A) and slightly higher AC voltage rating (125V vs. 120V), but reduced electrical life (60,000 vs. 100,000 cycles). They are suitable for applications where the original electrical requirements are met and the reduced cycle life is acceptable.

Q: Why is the E-Switch 100SP1T2B1M6RE not recommended as a direct substitute?

A: The 100SP1T2B1M6RE has significantly lower electrical ratings (0.4VA at 20V maximum) compared to the original specification (5A at 120V AC). This represents substantial derating and is only suitable for low-power control circuits. It is not appropriate for applications requiring the original part's electrical capacity.

Q: What are the key mechanical compatibility factors for these substitutes?

A: All substitute parts maintain the same panel mount configuration, right angle orientation, standard round actuator, 5.08mm actuator length, 1/4-40 bushing thread, and PC pin termination. The direct equivalent and E-Switch part share the identical 6.35mm circular panel cutout. The Electroswitch parts do not specify panel cutout dimensions but maintain compatible bushing thread specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: All parts are RoHS compliant. The direct equivalent (7101MYASE) and Electroswitch alternatives carry active product status. The original 7101MYAME is classified as obsolete, making the active-status substitutes preferable for new designs and long-term supply assurance.
