C&K 7205L2DAME Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7205L2DAME is a panel-mounted toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This component features a momentary-off-momentary (Mom-Off-Mom) switch function with a standard round actuator and PC pin termination. The 7205L2DAME 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 7205L2DAME is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (DPDT)
• Switch function (Mom-Off-Mom)
• Current rating (5A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Right Angle)
• Actuator specifications (Standard Round, 15.75mm 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)

The C&K 7205L2DASE meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product within the same 7000 series, making it a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7205L2DASE is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 7205L2DAME. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the 7000 series toggle switch family. The primary distinction is product status: the 7205L2DASE is actively manufactured and supported, whereas the 7205L2DAME is obsolete.

The 7205L2DASE carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the 7205L2DAME does not. For applications subject to RoHS directives or environmental regulations, the 7205L2DASE is the appropriate selection. The REACH status difference (REACH Affected vs. REACH Unaffected) reflects regulatory classification changes and does not affect functional compatibility.

For new designs or system replacements, the 7205L2DASE should be specified. For legacy system maintenance requiring exact form-fit-function compatibility, the 7205L2DASE provides identical performance characteristics with the added benefit of active production status and modern compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7205L2DASE directly replace the 7205L2DAME in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 7205L2DASE is mechanically and electrically identical to the 7205L2DAME. Panel cutout dimensions, bushing thread specifications, actuator geometry, and all electrical ratings are equivalent. Direct substitution is possible without circuit or mechanical redesign.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 7205L2DASE is RoHS compliant, meaning it meets restrictions on hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The 7205L2DAME is non-compliant. For applications in regulated industries or regions with RoHS requirements, the 7205L2DASE is the required selection.

Q: Are there any performance differences between these two parts?

A: No. Both components are rated for identical current (5A AC/DC), voltage (120V AC, 28V DC), operating temperature (-30°C to 85°C), and electrical life (40,000 cycles). Functional performance is equivalent.

Q: Why is the 7205L2DAME classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence typically reflects manufacturer discontinuation of production. The 7205L2DASE represents the active production equivalent within the same series, ensuring continued availability and support.

Q: What does the REACH status difference indicate?

A: REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) status reflects regulatory classification. The 7205L2DASE is REACH Affected, indicating it is subject to REACH regulations. This does not affect component functionality or compatibility but may be relevant for supply chain documentation and regulatory compliance tracking.

Q: Are the PC pin terminations identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both components use PC pin termination style with identical specifications, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB footprints and connector interfaces.
