C&K 7108MHAKE Toggle Switch SPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7108MHAKE is a toggle switch with SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) configuration, rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC. This panel-mount, right-angle switch features a standard round actuator and PC pin termination. The 7108MHAKE is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and functional characteristics to ensure direct interchangeability without circuit redesign.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Circuit Configuration: SPDT topology must be maintained
• Electrical Ratings: Current (0.4VA) and voltage (20V AC/DC) must match exactly
• Mechanical Compatibility: Panel mount orientation, right-angle configuration, actuator dimensions (5.08mm length), panel cutout (6.35mm circular), and bushing thread (1/4-40) must be identical
• Termination: PC pin termination required
• Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C) and electrical life (40,000 cycles) must be met or exceeded

The 7108MHAPE qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all specified parameters. The primary distinction is product status: 7108MHAKE is obsolete while 7108MHAPE is active, making the latter the recommended selection for new designs and replenishment.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 7108MHAPE is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 7108MHAKE. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. The 7108MHAPE should be selected for all new applications and inventory replenishment due to its active product status and guaranteed availability. For existing designs currently using the 7108MHAKE, direct substitution with the 7108MHAPE requires no circuit modifications or mechanical redesign, as all critical parameters are identical. Compliance certifications (RoHS3, EAR99 classification) are maintained across both parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7108MHAPE directly replace the 7108MHAKE without any modifications?

A: Yes. The 7108MHAPE is a direct substitute with identical electrical ratings (0.4VA, 20V AC/DC), circuit configuration (SPDT), mechanical dimensions (panel cutout 6.35mm circular, bushing 1/4-40, actuator 5.08mm), termination style (PC pin), and operating specifications. No circuit or mechanical changes are required.

Q: What is the primary reason to switch from 7108MHAKE to 7108MHAPE?

A: The 7108MHAKE is classified as obsolete, while the 7108MHAPE is active. The 7108MHAPE ensures continued availability and supply chain reliability for production and maintenance applications.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry EAR99 classification, and share identical HTSUS codes. Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited) is the same for both.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 7108MHAKE is supplied in standard packaging, while the 7108MHAPE is available in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are the electrical life and operating temperature specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 40,000 electrical cycles and operate across the same temperature range (-30°C to 85°C).
