Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7201P3DCLE 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 specifications (Flat Anti-Rotation, 13.21mm length)
• 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 (100,000 Cycles)

The C&K 7201P3DCRE qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all specified electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction between these parts lies in product status and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7201P3DCRE is a direct functional equivalent to the 7201P3DCLE with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

The 7201P3DCLE is obsolete and no longer in active production. The 7201P3DCRE maintains active product status with current manufacturing support and availability.

The 7201P3DCRE achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the 7201P3DCLE is non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or environmental compliance requirements, the 7201P3DCRE is the appropriate selection.

The 7201P3DCRE is REACH affected, indicating compliance with REACH regulatory requirements. The 7201P3DCLE is REACH unaffected.

Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9065) classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7201P3DCRE directly replace the 7201P3DCLE in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 7201P3DCRE is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 7201P3DCLE. Both parts feature identical DPDT configuration, 5A current rating, 120V AC and 28V DC voltage ratings, panel mount design, and PC pin termination. Physical dimensions, including the 6.35mm circular panel cutout and 1/4-40 bushing thread, are identical. No circuit modifications or mechanical redesign is required.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference between these parts?

A: The 7201P3DCLE is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer manufactured or supported by C&K. The 7201P3DCRE maintains active product status with ongoing manufacturing and availability. For new designs or long-term supply chain planning, the 7201P3DCRE is the recommended selection.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 7201P3DCRE is RoHS compliant and REACH affected, while the 7201P3DCLE is RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. Applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulatory requirements must use the 7201P3DCRE.

Q: Do these parts have identical packaging and termination?

A: Yes. Both the 7201P3DCLE and 7201P3DCRE use PC pin termination and are designed for panel mount installation with identical mechanical specifications.

Q: What electrical parameters must match for substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution requires equivalence in circuit configuration (DPDT), switch function (On-On), current rating (5A AC/DC), voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC), actuator type (Flat Anti-Rotation), actuator length (13.21mm), and operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C).
