Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7201P4YV3ME 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, 6.35mm 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 7201P4YV3SE qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all electrical and mechanical parameters listed above.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7201P4YV3SE is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 7201P4YV3ME. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction lies in product status and regulatory compliance:

The 7201P4YV3SE carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. The substitute achieves RoHS Compliance, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions applicable to electronic components in regulated markets. The REACH Affected designation indicates the substitute is subject to REACH chemical safety regulations, reflecting current regulatory frameworks.

Selection of the 7201P4YV3SE eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full functional and physical compatibility with existing designs and installations.
