Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7101SD9AME 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, Right Angle)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Actuator specifications (Standard Round, 12.45mm length)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (100,000 cycles)
• Base product compatibility (7101SD series)

The C&K 7101SD9ASE meets all substitution criteria as an active product within the same 7000 series, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved product status and availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7101SD9ASE is a direct functional equivalent to the 7101SD9AME. The primary distinction is product status: the 7101SD9AME is obsolete while the 7101SD9ASE is active. Both components maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical configuration, and environmental specifications. The 7101SD9ASE is recommended for new designs and ongoing procurement due to its active status and superior long-term availability. Both parts satisfy RoHS compliance requirements, with the 7101SD9ASE carrying RoHS Compliant designation and the 7101SD9AME carrying RoHS3 Compliant designation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7101SD9ASE directly replace the 7101SD9AME in existing applications?
