C&K 7201P1HAV2ME Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7201P1HAV2ME is a panel-mount toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes necessary for ongoing maintenance and new designs requiring equivalent functionality. The switch features a flat anti-rotation actuator, epoxy sealed terminals, and is designed for right-angle vertical mounting with a 1/4-40 bushing thread.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7201P1HAV2ME 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 (Flat Anti-Rotation, 21.33mm length)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 6.35mm Dia)
• Bushing thread (1/4-40)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (100,000 Cycles)

The C&K 7201P1HAV2SE meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. Both parts share the same base product number (7201P1) and identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7201P1HAV2SE is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 7201P1HAV2ME. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance:

The 7201P1HAV2SE is an active product with RoHS compliance, making it suitable for new designs and applications subject to RoHS regulations. The 7201P1HAV2ME, being obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, should be replaced with the 7201P1HAV2SE in applications where regulatory compliance is required or where long-term component availability is a consideration.

For applications with no regulatory compliance requirements and where existing inventory of the 7201P1HAV2ME is available, the obsolete part may continue to be used until stock is depleted. However, transition to the 7201P1HAV2SE is recommended for continuity of supply and future-proofing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7201P1HAV2SE directly replace the 7201P1HAV2ME without circuit modifications?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. No circuit modifications are required. The substitute maintains identical voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC), current capacity (5A), circuit configuration (DPDT), and mechanical mounting specifications.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 7201P1HAV2ME is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 7201P1HAV2SE is an active product with RoHS compliance. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are the panel cutout dimensions the same?

A: Yes. Both parts require a circular panel cutout of 6.35mm diameter and use a 1/4-40 bushing thread. No panel modifications are necessary for substitution.

Q: What is the actuator configuration for both parts?

A: Both parts feature a flat anti-rotation actuator with a length of 21.33mm. The actuator material is brass with chrome plating for both variants.

Q: Are there any environmental or temperature limitations?

A: Both parts operate within the same temperature range of -30°C to 85°C. No environmental limitations differ between the two components.

Q: What is the electrical life expectancy?

A: Both the 7201P1HAV2ME and 7201P1HAV2SE are rated for 100,000 electrical cycles, providing equivalent operational longevity.
