Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7201MPDAV2ME 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, Right Angle, Vertical)
• Actuator specifications (Anti-Rotation, 6.86mm 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 (100,000 Cycles)

The C&K 7201MPDAV2SE meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 7201MPDAV2SE is the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 7201MPDAV2ME. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The 7201MPDAV2SE is the preferred selection for new designs and ongoing procurement due to its active product status.

For applications subject to RoHS compliance requirements, the 7201MPDAV2SE is the appropriate choice, as it meets RoHS standards while the 7201MPDAV2ME does not. The 7201MPDAV2SE is also REACH Affected, indicating compliance with REACH regulatory requirements.

Both parts share the same base product number (7201MP), series designation (7000), and ECCN/HTSUS classifications, confirming their interchangeability from regulatory and trade perspectives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7201MPDAV2SE directly replace the 7201MPDAV2ME in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 7201MPDAV2SE is electrically and mechanically identical to the 7201MPDAV2ME. Both parts feature the same DPDT configuration, 5A current rating, 120V AC/28V DC voltage ratings, panel-mount specifications, and operating temperature range. Physical dimensions, including panel cutout (6.35mm circular) and bushing thread (1/4-40), are identical.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 7201MPDAV2ME is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 7201MPDAV2SE is an active product that meets RoHS standards and is REACH Affected. All functional and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 7201MPDAV2SE for the 7201MPDAV2ME?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. The parts are pin-compatible, dimensionally identical, and electrically equivalent. Panel cutout dimensions and bushing specifications are the same, requiring no modifications to existing panel layouts or mounting hardware.

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: The 7201MPDAV2SE should be specified for all new designs. It is the active equivalent with current regulatory compliance certifications.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: Both parts use identical termination styles (PC Pin) and panel-mount configurations. Packaging specifications are equivalent for procurement purposes.
