C&K 7213MYCLE Toggle Switch SP3T 5A 120V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7213MYCLE is a panel-mount toggle switch with SP3T (single pole triple throw) configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This switch features a standard round actuator with PC pin termination and is designed for applications requiring three-position switching with momentary capability. The 7213MYCLE is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7213MYCLE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SP3T)
• Switch function (On-On-Mom)
• Current and voltage ratings (5A AC/DC, 120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount)
• Actuator specifications (Standard Round, 5.08mm 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 7213MYCRE meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete 7213MYCLE.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7213MYCRE is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 7213MYCLE. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all functional parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the 7213MYCLE is obsolete while the 7213MYCRE is active and currently available.

For new designs and ongoing production requiring SP3T toggle switch functionality at 5A 120V AC, the 7213MYCRE is the appropriate selection. The 7213MYCRE offers improved regulatory compliance with RoHS certification, whereas the 7213MYCLE is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts carry the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7213MYCRE directly replace the 7213MYCLE in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 7213MYCRE is electrically and mechanically identical to the 7213MYCLE. All functional parameters, including circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, mounting dimensions, and actuator specifications, are equivalent. Direct substitution is possible without circuit or mechanical redesign.

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

A: The primary difference is product status. The 7213MYCLE is obsolete, while the 7213MYCRE is active. The 7213MYCRE also carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the 7213MYCLE does not. All electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with panel cutout dimensions?

A: No. Both parts feature identical panel cutout specifications (Circular 6.35mm Dia) and bushing thread (1/4-40). Existing panel installations designed for the 7213MYCLE will accommodate the 7213MYCRE without modification.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 7213MYCRE meets RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) requirements, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations. The 7213MYCLE does not carry this certification. For new designs and regulated applications, the 7213MYCRE is the appropriate choice.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC with identical switch function (On-On-Mom), operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C), and electrical life (40,000 cycles).
