Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 7213P3HCME 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 (Flat Anti-Rotation, 11.43mm length)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 6.35mm Dia)
• Bushing thread specification (1/4-40)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C)
• Electrical life (40,000 Cycles)

The C&K 7213P3HCSE meets all these criteria and serves as a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7213P3HCSE is the direct substitute for the obsolete 7213P3HCME. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional compatibility in existing circuit designs and panel layouts.

The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance status. The 7213P3HCSE is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, whereas the 7213P3HCME is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Unaffected. For applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulatory requirements, the 7213P3HCSE is the appropriate selection. Both parts carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification.

The 7213P3HCSE maintains active product status with current inventory availability, eliminating obsolescence risk associated with the 7213P3HCME.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
