Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7101P3CWWLE 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, 11.43mm 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)

The C&K 7101P3CWWRE qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7101P3CWWRE is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 7101P3CWWLE. Both components maintain identical electrical performance specifications and mechanical interface requirements. The primary distinction is product status: the 7101P3CWWRE is currently active in the C&K product line, whereas the 7101P3CWWLE is obsolete.

Both parts satisfy RoHS compliance requirements, though the 7101P3CWWLE carries RoHS3 certification while the 7101P3CWWRE carries standard RoHS certification. For applications requiring component replacement or new designs, the 7101P3CWWRE provides continuity of electrical and mechanical performance with the advantage of active manufacturer support and ongoing availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7101P3CWWRE directly replace the 7101P3CWWLE in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (5A at 120V AC / 28V DC), circuit configuration (SPDT On-On), mechanical mounting interface (Panel Mount, 6.35mm circular cutout, 1/4-40 bushing), and actuator specifications (Flat Anti-Rotation, 11.43mm length). Wire wrap termination and IP67 ingress protection are equivalent across both parts.

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

A: The 7101P3CWWLE is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer manufactured or supported by C&K. The 7101P3CWWRE is active, meaning it is currently produced and available through authorized distributors. For new designs or ongoing procurement, the active part number ensures supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 7101P3CWWLE carries RoHS3 certification, while the 7101P3CWWRE carries standard RoHS certification. Both meet environmental compliance requirements for their respective regulatory frameworks.

Q: What parameters must remain constant for substitution?

A: Circuit configuration (SPDT), current rating (5A AC/DC), voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC), mounting type (Panel Mount), actuator type and length (Flat Anti-Rotation, 11.43mm), termination style (Wire Wrap), panel interface dimensions (6.35mm circular cutout, 1/4-40 bushing), ingress protection (IP67), and operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C) must all remain unchanged for functional equivalence.
