Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 7103J2CLE2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-Off-On)
• Current rating (5A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Actuator type (Paddle)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Rectangular - 17.96mm x 10.62mm)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (40,000 Cycles)
• Approval agency certification (cULus)

The C&K 7103J2CRE2 meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7103J2CRE2 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 7103J2CLE2. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and functional specifications within the C&K 7000 series.
