Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 7108L1YCME 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 (Panel Mount)
• Actuator specifications (Standard Round, 16.26mm length)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 6.35mm Dia)
• Bushing thread (1/4-40)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C)
• Electrical life (40,000 Cycles)

The C&K 7108L1YCSE meets all these parameters and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 7108L1YCME.
