7201SD9AV2LE Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 7201SD9AV2LE is a toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration rated for 5A at 120V AC. This through-hole, right-angle mounted switch features a standard round actuator with epoxy sealed terminals and operates across a temperature range of -30°C to 85°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent models essential for ongoing procurement and system maintenance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 7201SD9AV2LE can be substituted with the 7201SD9AV2RE based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the same base product number (7201SD), circuit configuration (DPDT), current and voltage ratings, mounting specifications, actuator dimensions, and operating temperature range. The substitution is valid because all critical functional parameters—those that determine electrical performance and mechanical compatibility—are identical between the two parts.

The key parameters enabling substitution are:

• Circuit configuration: DPDT
• Current rating: 5A (AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings: 120V AC / 28V DC
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle, Vertical
• Actuator specifications: Standard Round, 12.45mm length
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Operating temperature: -30°C to 85°C
• Electrical life: 100,000 Cycles

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 7201SD9AV2RE is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 7201SD9AV2LE. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, ensuring functional compatibility in existing circuit designs and mechanical assemblies.

The 7201SD9AV2RE offers improved regulatory compliance with ROHS3 certification, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. The substitute part is REACH Affected, compared to the original's REACH Unaffected status. These compliance differences should be evaluated against applicable regulatory requirements for the end application.

Packaging differs between the two parts: the original ships loose, while the substitute is supplied in trays. This distinction affects handling, storage, and procurement logistics but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7201SD9AV2RE directly replace the 7201SD9AV2LE in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (5A at 120V AC / 28V DC), circuit configuration (DPDT), mounting specifications (through-hole, right-angle, vertical), and actuator dimensions (12.45mm standard round). Direct substitution is valid from a functional and mechanical standpoint.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status, regulatory compliance, and packaging. The 7201SD9AV2LE is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 7201SD9AV2RE is active and ROHS3 compliant. The substitute part is supplied in trays rather than loose. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Does the change in RoHS compliance affect performance?

A: RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental regulations, not electrical performance. Both parts operate identically within their specified electrical and temperature parameters.

Q: Why is packaging different between the two parts?

A: Packaging format (loose versus tray) is a supply chain and handling consideration. It does not affect the switch's electrical characteristics or mechanical compatibility in the application.

Q: Are there any temperature or current rating differences?

A: No. Both parts operate across -30°C to 85°C and are rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. All electrical performance parameters are identical.
