C&K 7205P3YV71ME2 Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7205P3YV71ME2 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 flat anti-rotation actuator and PC pin termination. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent models necessary for ongoing procurement and system maintenance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 7205P3YV71ME2 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 (Flat Anti-Rotation, 11.43mm 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 7205P3YV71SE2 meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary differences are product status (active vs. obsolete) and compliance certifications (RoHS and REACH status).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7205P3YV71SE2 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 7205P3YV71ME2. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters. The 7205P3YV71SE2 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

The 7205P3YV71SE2 achieves RoHS compliance, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations. The REACH Affected status indicates the part is subject to REACH chemical substance restrictions, which may be relevant for applications in regulated markets.

Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements and supply chain considerations rather than functional performance, as both parts deliver equivalent electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7205P3YV71SE2 replace the 7205P3YV71ME2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters, including circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, mounting dimensions, and actuator specifications. Direct substitution is possible without design modification.

Q: What is the difference between the two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certifications. The 7205P3YV71ME2 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 7205P3YV71SE2 is an active product with RoHS compliance. The 7205P3YV71SE2 also features epoxy sealed terminals, whereas the 7205P3YV71ME2 has a black actuator finish.

Q: Are there any panel cutout or mounting dimension differences?

A: No. Both parts share identical panel cutout dimensions (circular 6.35mm diameter) and bushing thread specification (1/4-40), ensuring mechanical compatibility in existing panel installations.

Q: What does RoHS compliance mean for this switch?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the 7205P3YV71SE2 meets restrictions on hazardous substances, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations in the EU and other regulated markets.

Q: Is the electrical performance identical between the two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC, feature DPDT configuration with Mom-Off-Mom function, and support 40,000 electrical cycles. Operating temperature range and all electrical specifications are identical.
