C&K 7208SD9AME Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7208SD9AME is a toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This through-hole, right-angle mounted switch features a standard round actuator with epoxy sealed terminals and is designed for applications requiring reliable switching in the -30°C to 85°C operating range. The 7208SD9AME is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 7208SD9AME is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria define acceptable substitutes:

• Circuit configuration must be DPDT
• Switch function must be On-Mom
• Current rating must be 5A (AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings must match: 120V AC and 28V DC
• Mounting type must be Through Hole, Right Angle
• Actuator type must be Standard Round with 12.45mm length
• Termination style must be PC Pin
• Operating temperature range must be -30°C to 85°C
• Electrical life must be 40,000 cycles
• Base product number must be 7208SD (same family)

The C&K 7208SD9ASE meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 7208SD9AME.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7208SD9ASE is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 7208SD9AME. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability in circuit designs and PCB layouts.

The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance status. The 7208SD9ASE is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, whereas the 7208SD9AME is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Unaffected. For new designs or applications subject to RoHS and REACH regulations, the 7208SD9ASE is the appropriate selection. The 7208SD9ASE is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7208SD9ASE directly replace the 7208SD9AME in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters, including circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, mounting type, actuator dimensions, and operating temperature range. PCB layouts and circuit designs require no modification.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 7208SD9AME is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 7208SD9ASE is an active product with RoHS Compliance and REACH Affected status. All functional and electrical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with the through-hole, right-angle mounting?

A: No. Both parts use identical through-hole, right-angle mounting with PC pin termination. Panel cutout dimensions and bushing specifications are equivalent, ensuring direct mechanical compatibility.

Q: What does "On-Mom" switch function mean?

A: On-Mom indicates the switch operates in an On position with momentary action, returning to the off state when released.

Q: Is the 7208SD9ASE suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. The 7208SD9ASE is RoHS Compliant, making it suitable for applications and markets with RoHS regulatory requirements.
