7203MY9AV2ME Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 7203MY9AV2ME is a toggle switch manufactured by C&K, classified as DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) with On-Off-On switching function. This component is rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC, featuring through-hole, right-angle vertical mounting with PC pin termination. The part is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent and substitute components that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility for new designs or field replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7203MY9AV2ME is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: DPDT circuit configuration, On-Off-On switching function, 5A current rating at both AC and DC, 120V AC and 28V DC voltage ratings, through-hole right-angle vertical mounting, standard round actuator with 5.08mm length, PC pin termination, and -30°C to 85°C operating temperature range. All identified substitutes maintain these electrical and mechanical specifications without deviation.

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories: direct manufacturer equivalents from C&K and cross-manufacturer alternatives from E-Switch. Direct equivalents represent the same product line with updated compliance status. Cross-manufacturer alternatives provide functional equivalence from different manufacturers while maintaining identical electrical performance and physical form factor.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For new designs, the 7203MY9AV2SE from C&K is the primary recommended substitute. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the obsolete 7203MY9AV2ME while offering active product status and RoHS compliance, eliminating regulatory and supply chain risks associated with obsolete components.

The 100DP3T2B2M7QE from E-Switch provides a functionally equivalent alternative from a different manufacturer. This cross-manufacturer substitute maintains all critical electrical parameters and physical form factor while offering ROHS3 compliance and active availability. Selection between C&K and E-Switch alternatives depends on existing supply chain relationships, procurement preferences, and design qualification requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7203MY9AV2SE directly replace the 7203MY9AV2ME in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 7203MY9AV2SE maintains identical electrical ratings (5A at 120V AC/28V DC), circuit configuration (DPDT On-Off-On), mounting type (through-hole right-angle vertical), and physical dimensions (5.08mm actuator length). The primary difference is product status and compliance certification.

Q: What is the difference between the C&K and E-Switch substitutes?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary differences are manufacturer, packaging (C&K uses standard packaging; E-Switch uses bulk), and compliance certifications (C&K 7203MY9AV2SE is RoHS Compliant; E-Switch 100DP3T2B2M7QE is ROHS3 Compliant).

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching from the obsolete part to an active substitute?

A: No compatibility concerns exist for the identified substitutes. All parameters determining electrical performance and physical fit are identical. The obsolete status of the original part does not affect the compatibility of active substitutes.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitutes?

A: The 7203MY9AV2SE is available in standard packaging with 899 pieces in stock. The 100DP3T2B2M7QE is available in bulk packaging with 1018 pieces in stock.

Q: Do these substitutes meet current regulatory requirements?

A: The 7203MY9AV2SE meets RoHS compliance requirements. The 100DP3T2B2M7QE meets ROHS3 compliance requirements. Both are suitable for applications requiring current regulatory compliance.
