C&K 7203MYAME Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7203MYAME is a panel-mount toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This component features a standard round actuator with epoxy sealed terminals and is designed for On-Off-On switching applications. The 7203MYAME is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing procurement and system maintenance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7203MYAME is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (DPDT)
• Switch function (On-Off-On)
• Current rating (5A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Right Angle)
• Actuator specifications (Standard Round, 5.08mm length)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 6.35mm Dia)
• Bushing thread (1/4-40)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (40,000 Cycles)

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct equivalents and may be substituted without modification to mechanical or electrical interfaces.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7203MYASE is a direct functional equivalent to the 7203MYAME. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, mounting geometry, and actuator dimensions. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance.

The 7203MYAME is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production and limited availability. The 7203MYASE is an active product with current manufacturing support and improved regulatory compliance. The 7203MYASE achieves RoHS compliance and is REACH Affected, whereas the 7203MYAME is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Unaffected.

For new designs or ongoing procurement requiring regulatory compliance with modern standards, the 7203MYASE is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where original specifications must be preserved, the 7203MYAME remains functionally equivalent if available inventory permits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7203MYASE replace the 7203MYAME in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters, including DPDT configuration, 5A current rating, 120V AC / 28V DC voltage ratings, panel-mount geometry, and PC pin termination. Direct substitution requires no circuit or mechanical modifications.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 7203MYAME is obsolete with RoHS non-compliance, while the 7203MYASE is an active product with RoHS compliance. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with panel cutout dimensions?

A: No. Both parts specify identical panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 6.35mm Dia) and bushing thread (1/4-40), ensuring mechanical compatibility with existing panel installations.

Q: Does the 7203MYASE meet current regulatory requirements?

A: The 7203MYASE is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, meeting current regulatory standards. The 7203MYAME does not meet these requirements.

Q: What is the electrical life specification for these switches?

A: Both parts are rated for 40,000 electrical cycles, providing equivalent operational durability across the specified current and voltage ranges.
