Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7211TV41LE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SP3T)
• Switch function (On-On-On)
• Current rating (5A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount)
• Actuator specifications (Standard Round, 17.45mm length)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 11.91mm Dia)
• Bushing thread (15/32-32)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (40,000 Cycles)

The C&K 7211TV41RE meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. Both parts belong to the C&K 7000 series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7211TV41RE is the direct functional equivalent of the 7211TV41LE. Both parts deliver identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility within panel-mounted applications requiring SP3T switching at 5A and 120V AC operation.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The 7211TV41LE is obsolete, while the 7211TV41RE maintains active production status. The 7211TV41RE achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the 7211TV41LE does not. For applications subject to RoHS requirements or requiring long-term component availability, the 7211TV41RE is the appropriate selection.

Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9065) classifications. Moisture sensitivity level is 1 (Unlimited) for both variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7211TV41RE directly replace the 7211TV41LE in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 7211TV41RE is mechanically and electrically identical to the 7211TV41LE. Panel cutout dimensions, bushing thread specifications, actuator geometry, and electrical ratings are equivalent. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The 7211TV41LE is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production. The 7211TV41RE is active production, ensuring ongoing availability for procurement and future applications.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect functional performance?

A: RoHS compliance reflects material composition and manufacturing standards but does not alter electrical or mechanical performance. Both parts operate identically within specified parameters.

Q: Are there any termination or mounting differences?

A: No. Both parts use PC pin termination and panel mount configuration with identical bushing thread (15/32-32) and panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 11.91mm Dia).

Q: What is the electrical life expectancy for both parts?

A: Both the 7211TV41LE and 7211TV41RE are rated for 40,000 electrical cycles under specified operating conditions.
