C&K 7201MDV3LE22 Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7201MDV3LE22 is a panel-mount toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This switch features a standard round actuator with PC pin termination and operates across -30°C to 85°C. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing maintenance and new designs requiring compatible DPDT switching functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 7201MDV3LE22 is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications for:

• Circuit configuration (DPDT)
• Current and voltage ratings (5A AC/DC, 120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mounting interface (panel mount with 6.35mm circular cutout and 1/4-40 bushing thread)
• Actuator specifications (standard round, 6.86mm length)
• Termination method (PC pin)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (100,000 cycles)

The C&K 7201MDV3RE22 meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 7201MDV3RE22 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 7201MDV3LE22. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct compatibility in existing designs. The substitute part offers the advantage of active product status and RoHS compliance, making it suitable for new designs and applications with regulatory requirements. Selection between these parts depends on compliance mandates and supply chain availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7201MDV3RE22 replace the 7201MDV3LE22 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (5A at 120V AC/28V DC), circuit configuration (DPDT), and mechanical interfaces (panel mount with 6.35mm cutout and 1/4-40 bushing thread). Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance. The 7201MDV3LE22 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 7201MDV3RE22 is active and RoHS compliant. Functionally and electrically, they are equivalent.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 7201MDV3LE22 is supplied with standard packaging, while the 7201MDV3RE22 is supplied in bulk packaging. This does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for the 7201MDV3LE22?

A: Substitution requires matching specifications across circuit configuration (DPDT), current and voltage ratings (5A AC/DC, 120V AC, 28V DC), mounting interface (panel mount, 6.35mm circular cutout, 1/4-40 bushing), actuator type and length (standard round, 6.86mm), termination method (PC pin), operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C), and electrical life (100,000 cycles).
