C&K 7103P1CWWLE Toggle Switch SPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7103P1CWWLE is a panel-mount toggle switch with SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This switch features a flat anti-rotation actuator, wire wrap termination, and IP67 ingress protection suitable for sealed applications. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute components necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7103P1CWWLE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-Off-On)
• Current rating (5A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount)
• Panel cutout dimensions (6.35mm circular)
• Bushing thread specification (1/4-40)
• Actuator type and length (Flat Anti-Rotation, 21.33mm)
• Termination style (Wire Wrap)
• Ingress protection rating (IP67)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (40,000 cycles)

The C&K 7103P1CWWRE meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute within the C&K 7000 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7103P1CWWRE is the direct substitute for the obsolete 7103P1CWWLE. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional equivalence in panel-mount toggle switch applications requiring SPDT configuration at 5A/120V AC or 28V DC.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: the 7103P1CWWLE is obsolete while the 7103P1CWWRE is active production. For new designs or system replacements, the 7103P1CWWRE should be specified. Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS compliance and ECCN classification. The difference in REACH status (REACH Unaffected versus REACH Affected) reflects regulatory classification changes and does not affect functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7103P1CWWRE directly replace the 7103P1CWWLE in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters including circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, mounting dimensions, actuator specifications, and ingress protection rating. The 7103P1CWWRE is the active production equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference (Obsolete vs. Active)?

A: The 7103P1CWWLE is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer in production. The 7103P1CWWRE is the active production part within the same series. For new designs or long-term supply requirements, the active part should be specified.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and HTSUS code 8536.50.9065. The RoHS compliance designation differs slightly (ROHS3 Compliant vs. RoHS Compliant), and REACH status differs (REACH Unaffected vs. REACH Affected). These regulatory classifications do not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What panel cutout dimensions are required for installation?

A: Both parts require a circular panel cutout of 6.35mm diameter with a 1/4-40 bushing thread. The actuator length is 21.33mm for both components.

Q: What is the electrical life specification for these switches?

A: Both the 7103P1CWWLE and 7103P1CWWRE are rated for 40,000 electrical cycles under the specified operating conditions.

Q: Are these switches suitable for sealed or waterproof applications?

A: Yes. Both parts carry IP67 ingress protection rating (Dust Tight, Waterproof) with epoxy sealed terminals, making them suitable for sealed enclosure applications.
