Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7108J1V4LE2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-Momentary)
• Current rating (5A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Actuator type and color (Concave, Black)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (40,000 Cycles)
• Approval agency (cULus)

The C&K 7108J1V4RE2 meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is product status: the 7108J1V4RE2 is active production, whereas the 7108J1V4LE2 is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7108J1V4RE2 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 7108J1V4LE2. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional compatibility in existing circuit designs.

The 7108J1V4RE2 offers the additional advantage of active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The substitute part is RoHS Compliant, whereas the original part is RoHS Non-Compliant. This distinction is significant for applications subject to RoHS regulations or environmental compliance requirements.

Both parts maintain cULus approval and are suitable for applications requiring regulatory certification in North American markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
