Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7101TV41LE 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 type and length: Standard Round, 17.45mm
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Panel cutout dimensions: Circular - 11.91mm Dia
• Bushing thread: 15/32-32
• Operating temperature range: -30°C to 85°C
• Electrical life: 100,000 Cycles

The C&K 7101TV41RE meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product within the same 7000 series, making it a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7101TV41RE is a direct substitute for the obsolete 7101TV41LE. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the 7101TV41RE is currently in active production, whereas the 7101TV41LE is obsolete.

From a compliance perspective, the 7101TV41RE maintains RoHS compliance and is REACH Affected, compared to the main part's RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected status. These compliance differences reflect current regulatory frameworks and do not affect functional equivalence.

Selection of the 7101TV41RE is appropriate for new designs, system upgrades, and replacement procurement where the 7101TV41LE is no longer available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7101TV41RE be used as a direct replacement for the 7101TV41LE in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters, including circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, mounting dimensions, and operating temperature range. Panel cutout and bushing thread specifications are identical, ensuring mechanical compatibility.

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

A: The primary difference is product status. The 7101TV41LE is obsolete, while the 7101TV41RE is an active product. Both are manufactured by C&K within the 7000 series and meet the same functional requirements.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 7101TV41LE is RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. The 7101TV41RE is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected. These differences reflect current regulatory classifications and do not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on equivalence in 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, 17.45mm), termination style (PC Pin), panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 11.91mm Dia), bushing thread (15/32-32), operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C), and electrical life (100,000 Cycles).

Q: Is the 7101TV41RE available in the same packaging as the 7101TV41LE?

A: Both parts use identical panel-mount packaging with the same mechanical interface specifications. No packaging conversion or adaptation is required for substitution.
