Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7101P1CWWLE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Current and voltage ratings (5A AC/DC, 120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount)
• Actuator specifications (Flat Anti-Rotation, 21.33mm length)
• Termination style (Wire Wrap)
• Panel interface dimensions (Circular 6.35mm Dia, 1/4-40 bushing thread)
• Ingress protection rating (IP67)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (100,000 cycles)

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct equivalents within the C&K 7000 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7101P1CWWRE serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 7101P1CWWLE. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction lies in product status and regulatory compliance: the 7101P1CWWRE is currently in active production and carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the 7101P1CWWLE is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

For new designs and ongoing system support where component availability is required, the 7101P1CWWRE is the appropriate selection. The active production status ensures supply chain continuity and long-term availability. The RoHS compliance of the substitute part aligns with current environmental and regulatory standards applicable to electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7101P1CWWRE directly replace the 7101P1CWWLE in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (5A at 120V AC / 28V DC), circuit configuration (SPDT), mechanical mounting specifications (panel mount with 6.35mm circular cutout and 1/4-40 bushing thread), actuator geometry (flat anti-rotation, 21.33mm length), termination style (wire wrap), and environmental protection (IP67). Functional substitution is direct.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The 7101P1CWWLE is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer manufactured or supported by C&K. The 7101P1CWWRE maintains active production status, ensuring availability for procurement and providing access to manufacturer technical support and documentation.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect electrical performance?

A: RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental standards, not electrical performance. Both the 7101P1CWWLE and 7101P1CWWRE deliver identical electrical characteristics. The RoHS compliance of the 7101P1CWWRE reflects adherence to current manufacturing standards and regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns?

A: No. Panel cutout dimensions, bushing thread specifications, actuator length, and mounting type are identical between both components. Physical installation and mechanical integration are fully compatible.

Q: What is the basis for substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on equivalence across circuit configuration, electrical ratings, mechanical mounting, actuator specifications, termination style, ingress protection rating, operating temperature range, and electrical life. The 7101P1CWWRE meets all these criteria.
