C&K 7108J2CLE2 Rocker Switch SPDT 5A 120V - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7108J2CLE2 is a rocker switch with SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) configuration rated for 5A at 120V AC/DC operation. This through-hole mounted paddle actuator switch features epoxy sealed terminals and is designed for panel integration with a rectangular cutout of 17.96mm x 10.62mm. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 7108J2CLE2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-Mom)
• Current rating (5A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (120V AC / 28V DC)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Actuator type and color (Paddle / Black)
• 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 certifications (cULus)

The C&K 7108J2CRE2 meets all these criteria and serves as a direct functional equivalent. The primary distinction is product status: the 7108J2CLE2 is obsolete while the 7108J2CRE2 is active, with corresponding differences in RoHS and REACH compliance documentation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7108J2CRE2 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 7108J2CLE2. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and functional characteristics. The 7108J2CRE2 is preferred for new designs and ongoing production due to its active product status and current compliance certifications. Both parts carry cULus approval and are suitable for applications requiring SPDT rocker switch functionality at 5A/120V AC operation with through-hole PC pin termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7108J2CRE2 be used as a direct replacement for the 7108J2CLE2 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 7108J2CRE2 is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Panel cutout dimensions, mounting type, termination style, and all electrical ratings are identical. No circuit modifications or mechanical redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference between ROHS3 Compliant and RoHS Compliant designations?

A: Both designations indicate RoHS compliance. The difference reflects documentation updates between product generations. The 7108J2CRE2 carries current RoHS compliance documentation appropriate for its active product status.

Q: Are the PC pin terminations compatible between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical PC pin termination style and dimensions, ensuring compatibility with existing PCB footprints and connector interfaces.

Q: What is the panel cutout requirement for installation?

A: Both parts require a rectangular panel cutout of 17.96mm x 10.62mm for proper mounting and operation.

Q: Are both parts rated for the same voltage and current specifications?

A: Yes. Both the 7108J2CLE2 and 7108J2CRE2 are rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC, with identical electrical life of 40,000 cycles and operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C.
