Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7201L41YV71ME2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (DPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Current rating (5A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (120V AC / 28V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount)
• Actuator type and length (Flat Anti-Rotation, 13.49mm)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 6.35mm Dia)
• Bushing thread specification (1/4-40)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C)
• Electrical life rating (100,000 Cycles)

The C&K 7201L41YV71SE2 meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. Differences in product status, terminal sealing, and regulatory compliance do not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability.

• RoHS compliance aligns with current environmental and regulatory requirements
• Epoxy sealed terminals provide enhanced environmental protection compared to the original part
• REACH affected status indicates compliance with current chemical safety regulations

Selection of the 7201L41YV71SE2 is supported by product availability (1006 units in stock) and full compatibility with existing panel cutout dimensions and mounting specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 7201L41YV71ME2 and 7201L41YV71SE2 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: DPDT configuration, 5A rating at 120V AC and 28V DC, and 100,000-cycle electrical life. They are direct electrical equivalents.

Q: Will the substitute part fit the same panel cutout?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical panel mount specifications: circular 6.35mm diameter cutout with 1/4-40 bushing thread. No panel modification is required.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), RoHS compliance, and terminal sealing. The 7201L41YV71SE2 includes epoxy sealed terminals for improved environmental protection. All functional and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Can I use the substitute in new designs?

A: Yes. The 7201L41YV71SE2 is an active product with full RoHS compliance, making it suitable for new design implementations requiring DPDT toggle switch functionality with the specified electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental limitations?

A: Both parts operate across the same temperature range (-30°C to 85°C). The substitute part's epoxy sealed terminals provide enhanced protection in moisture-prone environments.
