Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 7101T2PV71LE is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitute, C&K 7101T2PV71RE, maintains identical specifications in the following key areas:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Current and voltage ratings (5A AC/DC, 120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mounting interface (panel mount with 11.91mm circular cutout and 15/32-32 bushing thread)
• Actuator specifications (flat anti-rotation type, 15.49mm length, brass chrome-plated material)
• Termination method (PC pin)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C)
• Electrical life rating (100,000 cycles)
• Environmental sealing (epoxy sealed terminals)

The substitute part differs only in product status (active versus obsolete) and regulatory compliance documentation, with no functional or physical differences affecting circuit performance or mechanical installation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7101T2PV71RE serves as the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 7101T2PV71LE. Selection of the substitute part is justified by:

• Complete electrical equivalence across all rated parameters (current, voltage, circuit configuration)
• Identical mechanical interface specifications enabling direct installation without panel modification
• Active product status ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability
• Maintained compliance with international standards (RoHS, REACH, EAR99 export classification)
• Equivalent environmental sealing and operating temperature specifications

The substitute part is suitable for new designs, repairs, and production continuations where the original part number is no longer available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7101T2PV71RE be used as a direct replacement for the 7101T2PV71LE?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (5A at 120V AC/28V DC), circuit configuration (SPDT), mechanical mounting interface (11.91mm circular panel cutout with 15/32-32 bushing thread), and actuator specifications. No circuit modifications or panel rework are required.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active) and regulatory documentation. The 7101T2PV71LE is no longer manufactured, while the 7101T2PV71RE is an active product. Both maintain identical functional and physical specifications.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with panel cutout dimensions?

A: No. Both parts use the same circular 11.91mm diameter panel cutout and 15/32-32 bushing thread specification, ensuring identical mechanical fit in existing panel installations.

Q: Do these switches have the same electrical life rating?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 100,000 electrical cycles under identical operating conditions.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these switches?

A: Both parts operate across the range of -30°C to 85°C, with no temperature-related limitations affecting substitution.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 7101T2PV71LE is ROHS3 compliant, and the 7101T2PV71RE is RoHS compliant. Both meet current environmental standards for electronic components.
