Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the C&K 7201TCWWLE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (DPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Current and voltage ratings (5A AC/DC, 120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mounting type and mechanical interface (Panel Mount, 11.91mm circular cutout, 15/32-32 bushing thread)
• Actuator specifications (Standard Round, 17.45mm length)
• Termination style (Wire Wrap)
• Environmental protection (IP67)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (100,000 cycles)

The C&K 7201TCWWRE meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct manufacturer substitute within the same 7000 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7201TCWWRE is the direct functional equivalent of the obsolete 7201TCWWLE. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance.

The 7201TCWWRE is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for new designs and replacement applications. The substitute part achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the original part does not. For applications subject to RoHS requirements or environmental regulations, the 7201TCWWRE is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems requiring exact historical equivalence without regulatory constraints, both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7201TCWWRE directly replace the 7201TCWWLE in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically identical. The panel cutout dimensions, bushing thread, actuator specifications, and wire wrap termination are identical. No modifications to the mounting interface or wiring are required.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 7201TCWWLE is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 7201TCWWRE is in active production and RoHS compliant. All functional and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences?

A: No. Both parts have identical current ratings (5A AC/DC), voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC), electrical life (100,000 cycles), and operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C).

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: The C&K 7201TCWWRE should be specified for new designs. It is in active production and meets current RoHS compliance requirements.

Q: Is the panel mounting interface identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use a circular 11.91mm diameter cutout with a 15/32-32 bushing thread. The actuator length is 17.45mm for both parts. No panel modifications are required when substituting between these parts.

Q: What is the REACH compliance status difference?

A: The 7201TCWWLE is REACH Unaffected, while the 7201TCWWRE is REACH Affected. For applications in REACH-regulated markets, the 7201TCWWRE is the appropriate selection.
