C&K 7205L2YV31ME Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7205L2YV31ME is a panel-mount toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This switch features a momentary-off-momentary (Mom-Off-Mom) function with a standard round actuator and PC pin termination. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes necessary for ongoing applications and new designs requiring equivalent functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 7205L2YV31ME is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (DPDT)
• Switch function (Mom-Off-Mom)
• Current and voltage ratings (5A AC/DC, 120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount)
• Actuator specifications (Standard Round, 13.97mm length)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 6.35mm Dia)
• Bushing thread specification (1/4-40)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (40,000 Cycles)

The C&K 7205L2YV31SE meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute within the C&K 7000 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7205L2YV31SE is the direct substitute for the obsolete 7205L2YV31ME. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance: the 7205L2YV31SE is an active product with RoHS compliance and REACH applicability, whereas the 7205L2YV31ME is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs and ongoing applications requiring this switch configuration, the 7205L2YV31SE provides equivalent functionality with current regulatory alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7205L2YV31SE directly replace the 7205L2YV31ME in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (5A, 120V AC, 28V DC), circuit configuration (DPDT), switch function (Mom-Off-Mom), and mechanical specifications including panel cutout dimensions (6.35mm circular), bushing thread (1/4-40), and actuator length (13.97mm). No circuit modifications or mechanical redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The 7205L2YV31ME is classified as obsolete, while the 7205L2YV31SE is an active product. The 7205L2YV31SE is RoHS compliant and REACH affected, whereas the 7205L2YV31ME is RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. Functionally and electrically, both parts are equivalent.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with panel mounting?

A: No. Both parts use identical panel mount specifications: circular 6.35mm diameter cutout and 1/4-40 bushing thread. Physical installation is identical.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these switches?

A: Both the 7205L2YV31ME and 7205L2YV31SE operate across -30°C to 85°C.

Q: How many switching cycles are rated for these parts?

A: Both parts are rated for 40,000 electrical cycles.
