Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7101T1CWCME 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 (Panel Mount)
• Actuator specifications (Standard Round, 12.37mm length)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Circular 11.91mm diameter)
• Bushing thread specification (15/32-32)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Ingress protection rating (IP67)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (100,000 cycles)

The C&K 7101T1CWCSE meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute within the C&K 7000 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7101T1CWCSE is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 7101T1CWCME. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring availability and ongoing manufacturer support.

Compliance considerations: The main part (7101T1CWCME) holds ROHS3 Compliant status with REACH Unaffected classification. The substitute part (7101T1CWCSE) is RoHS Compliant with REACH Affected status. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS codes (8536.50.9065). Selection between these parts should account for specific regulatory requirements applicable to the end application and target market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7101T1CWCSE directly replace the 7101T1CWCME in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (5A at 120V AC / 28V DC), circuit configuration (SPDT On-On), mechanical dimensions (11.91mm circular cutout, 15/32-32 bushing thread), and termination style (PC Pin). Panel mount installation and actuator specifications are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main part is classified as obsolete, while the substitute is active. RoHS and REACH compliance classifications differ between the two parts. The substitute part offers continued availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Are the panel cutout dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts require a circular 11.91mm diameter cutout with 15/32-32 bushing thread, ensuring mechanical interchangeability in panel installations.

Q: Do both parts meet the same ingress protection requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated IP67 (Dust Tight, Waterproof) with epoxy sealed terminals and identical operating temperature ranges (-30°C to 85°C).

Q: What electrical life expectancy should be planned for?

A: Both parts are rated for 100,000 electrical cycles, providing equivalent operational longevity.
