Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The C&K 7108J2V3PE2 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Identical circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Identical switch function (On-Momentary)
• Matching current and voltage ratings (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC)
• Same mounting type (Through Hole) and termination style (PC Pin)
• Identical actuator type (Paddle) and color (Black)
• Matching operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Equivalent electrical life rating (40,000 Cycles)
• Same approval agency certification (cULus)
• Equivalent RoHS compliance status

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is product status: the 7108J2V3KE2 is obsolete, while the 7108J2V3PE2 is active in production.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7108J2V3PE2 is the appropriate selection for applications currently using the obsolete 7108J2V3KE2. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance specifications, mechanical configuration, and regulatory certifications. The substitute part is actively manufactured and available in inventory, eliminating supply chain constraints associated with obsolete components.

The 7108J2V3PE2 carries cULus approval and maintains RoHS compliance, satisfying regulatory requirements for both legacy and new designs. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7108J2V3PE2 directly replace the 7108J2V3KE2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC), circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-Momentary), mounting type (Through Hole), and termination style (PC Pin). Physical dimensions and panel cutout requirements are compatible.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 7108J2V3KE2 is obsolete. The 7108J2V3PE2 is the active production equivalent from C&K's 7000 series, providing continuity of supply and identical performance.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts carry cULus approval and maintain RoHS compliance. The 7108J2V3KE2 is RoHS3 Compliant, while the 7108J2V3PE2 is RoHS Compliant. Both satisfy regulatory requirements for industrial and consumer applications.

Q: What is the panel cutout dimension for the substitute part?

A: The 7108J2V3PE2 requires a rectangular panel cutout of 17.96mm x 10.62mm.

Q: Are there any differences in electrical life or operating temperature?

A: No. Both parts are rated for 40,000 electrical cycles and operate across the identical temperature range of -30°C to 85°C.
