• Current rating: 5A (AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings: 120V AC / 28V DC
• Mounting type: Panel Mount, Right Angle, Vertical
• Actuator type and length: Anti-Rotation, 10.67mm
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Panel cutout dimensions: Circular - 6.50mm Dia
• Bushing thread: M6 x 0.75
• Operating temperature range: -30°C to 85°C
• Electrical life: 40,000 Cycles
• Base product number: 7211SP

The substitute part differs only in product status (Active vs. Obsolete), packaging format (Bulk vs. standard), and regulatory compliance classifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 7211SPY3AV2SE2 is the direct functional equivalent of the 7211SPY3AV2ME2. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: The 7211SPY3AV2SE2 carries Active status, ensuring continued manufacturer support and long-term availability. The 7211SPY3AV2ME2 is Obsolete, indicating discontinued production and limited future procurement viability.

Regulatory Compliance: The 7211SPY3AV2SE2 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected, meeting current environmental and chemical safety regulations. The 7211SPY3AV2ME2 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected, reflecting older regulatory frameworks.

Availability: Both parts maintain current inventory. Selection should prioritize the Active part for new designs and long-term production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 7211SPY3AV2SE2 directly replace 7211SPY3AV2ME2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. All electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, mounting specifications, and functional parameters are identical. Direct substitution is possible without circuit or mechanical redesign.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The parts differ in product status (Active vs. Obsolete), regulatory compliance certifications (ROHS3 vs. non-compliant), and REACH classification. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The 7211SPY3AV2SE2 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the 7211SPY3AV2ME2 uses standard packaging. This affects procurement and handling but not component functionality.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The 7211SPY3AV2SE2 should be selected for new designs due to Active product status and current regulatory compliance. This ensures manufacturer support and regulatory alignment.

Q: Are the panel cutout dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts require a circular 6.50mm diameter cutout with M6 x 0.75 bushing thread, ensuring mechanical interchangeability in panel installations.

Q: Do both parts operate across the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both parts operate from -30°C to 85°C and maintain identical electrical life specifications of 40,000 cycles.
