C&K 7109SHCLE Toggle Switch SPDT 5A 120V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7109SHCLE is a panel-mounted toggle switch with SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This component features a standard round actuator with epoxy sealed PC pin termination and operates across a temperature range of -30°C to 85°C. The 7109SHCLE is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this component is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7109SHCLE 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, 10.67mm length)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Circular 6.35mm Dia)
• Bushing thread specification (1/4-40)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (40,000 Cycles)

The C&K 7109SHCRE meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete 7109SHCLE.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7109SHCRE is the direct substitute for the obsolete 7109SHCLE. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the 7109SHCRE is currently in active production, whereas the 7109SHCLE is obsolete.

The 7109SHCRE offers improved regulatory compliance, achieving RoHS compliance status compared to the non-compliant 7109SHCLE. The 7109SHCRE is also REACH Affected, indicating current regulatory engagement. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9065) classifications.

For new designs or system replacements, the 7109SHCRE is the appropriate selection due to its active production status and enhanced compliance posture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7109SHCRE directly replace the 7109SHCLE in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 7109SHCRE is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 7109SHCLE. All electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, mounting specifications, and operational characteristics are identical. No circuit modifications or mechanical redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference between the 7109SHCLE and 7109SHCRE?

A: The components are functionally identical. The primary differences are product status (7109SHCLE is obsolete; 7109SHCRE is active) and regulatory compliance (7109SHCRE achieves RoHS compliance; 7109SHCLE does not).

Q: Are there any panel cutout or mounting modifications needed when substituting the 7109SHCRE for the 7109SHCLE?

A: No. Both components share identical panel cutout dimensions (Circular 6.35mm Dia) and bushing thread specification (1/4-40). Installation procedures remain unchanged.

Q: What is the electrical life expectancy for both components?

A: Both the 7109SHCLE and 7109SHCRE are rated for 40,000 electrical cycles under specified operating conditions.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when sourcing the 7109SHCRE?

A: The 7109SHCRE is in active production with current inventory availability. The 7109SHCLE is obsolete and inventory is limited to existing stock.
