C&K 7101P3D9V6LE Toggle Switch SPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7101P3D9V6LE is a toggle switch with SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) configuration rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This through-hole mounted switch features a flat anti-rotation actuator and epoxy sealed terminals, designed for On-On switching applications. The part is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for direct replacement in existing designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 7101P3D9V6LE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Current rating (5A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Actuator specifications (Flat Anti-Rotation, 13.21mm length)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (100,000 cycles)
• Base product number (7101P3)

The C&K 7101P3D9V6RE meets all these criteria and serves as a direct functional equivalent. The primary distinction is product status: the 7101P3D9V6LE is obsolete while the 7101P3D9V6RE is active, making it the appropriate replacement for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7101P3D9V6RE is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 7101P3D9V6LE. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and functional characteristics across all critical parameters. The 7101P3D9V6RE is currently in active production status with 1118 units available in stock, ensuring supply continuity.

Compliance considerations: The 7101P3D9V6RE carries RoHS Compliant certification and is REACH Affected, compared to the original part's ROHS3 Compliant status and REACH Unaffected designation. Both parts share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification. These regulatory differences do not impact functional equivalence but should be verified against specific application and regional requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7101P3D9V6RE directly replace the 7101P3D9V6LE in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 7101P3D9V6RE is electrically and mechanically identical to the 7101P3D9V6LE across all specified parameters including current rating, voltage ratings, actuator dimensions, and termination style. Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?
