Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7101SPD9AV2ME 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, Vertical)
• Actuator type and length (Anti-Rotation, 12.45mm)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (100,000 Cycles)

The C&K 7101SPD9AV2SE meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent suitable for replacement applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 7101SPD9AV2SE is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 7101SPD9AV2ME. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all functional parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the 7101SPD9AV2SE is an active product with current manufacturing support.

For new designs or ongoing production requiring this switch type, the 7101SPD9AV2SE is the appropriate selection. The substitute part carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the original part does not. This compliance difference may be relevant for applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements. Both parts are classified under the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8536.50.9065).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7101SPD9AV2SE directly replace the 7101SPD9AV2ME in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters, including circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, mounting type, actuator specifications, and operating temperature range.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is product status. The 7101SPD9AV2ME is obsolete, while the 7101SPD9AV2SE is an active product. Additionally, the 7101SPD9AV2SE carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the 7101SPD9AV2ME does not.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with the substitute part?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. The parts are from the same manufacturer series (7000) and share identical mechanical and electrical specifications. PCB footprints and mounting requirements are equivalent.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect functionality?

A: No. RoHS compliance is a regulatory and material composition designation. It does not affect the electrical performance or functional characteristics of the switch.

Q: What is the availability status of the substitute part?

A: The 7101SPD9AV2SE is an active product with current manufacturing support, ensuring ongoing availability for procurement and design integration.
