Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7207P3DCLE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (DPDT)
• Switch function (On-Off-Mom)
• Current rating (5A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount)
• Actuator type and length (Flat Anti-Rotation, 13.21mm)
• 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 7207P3DCRE qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all electrical and mechanical parameters listed above. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7207P3DCRE is the direct functional equivalent of the 7207P3DCLE. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

For new designs and systems requiring regulatory compliance: The 7207P3DCRE is the appropriate choice. This part carries Active product status and meets RoHS compliance requirements, aligning with current environmental and safety standards applicable to electronic components in most markets.

For legacy system maintenance: The 7207P3DCLE remains functionally equivalent where existing designs are locked to this specific part number and regulatory compliance is not a constraint. However, the Obsolete status indicates limited availability.

Regulatory considerations: The 7207P3DCRE is subject to REACH regulations, whereas the 7207P3DCLE is REACH Unaffected. Organizations operating under REACH-regulated jurisdictions should prioritize the 7207P3DCRE for new applications.

Both parts share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and operational characteristics, ensuring direct interchangeability in circuit design and panel mounting applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7207P3DCRE replace the 7207P3DCLE in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 7207P3DCRE is electrically and mechanically identical to the 7207P3DCLE. Panel cutout dimensions, bushing thread specifications, and PC pin termination are equivalent. Direct substitution is possible without circuit or mechanical redesign.

Q: What is the significance of the Obsolete status on the 7207P3DCLE?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. This affects component availability and supply chain reliability. The 7207P3DCRE, with Active status, represents the current production equivalent and is recommended for new designs.

Q: Are there differences in electrical performance between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC, operate across -30°C to 85°C, and provide 40,000 electrical cycles. Electrical performance is identical.

Q: What does RoHS Compliant status mean for the 7207P3DCRE?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the 7207P3DCRE meets restrictions on hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. This is required for products sold in the European Union and many other markets. The 7207P3DCLE, being RoHS non-compliant, may face restrictions in certain jurisdictions.

Q: Are the mechanical dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature a 6.35mm diameter circular panel cutout, 1/4-40 bushing thread, 13.21mm flat anti-rotation actuator, and PC pin termination. Panel mounting is identical.

Q: What is the difference between REACH Affected and REACH Unaffected status?

A: REACH Affected indicates the component is subject to European chemical regulations and may contain substances requiring declaration or authorization. REACH Unaffected means the component is not subject to these specific regulations. Selection depends on your market and regulatory requirements.
