C&K 7215T2PCKE Toggle Switch SP3T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7215T2PCKE is a panel-mount toggle switch with SP3T (single-pole, three-throw) circuit configuration, rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC. This switch features a flat anti-rotation actuator and PC pin termination, designed for momentary-on-momentary operation. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7215T2PCKE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: SP3T (single-pole, three-throw) — must match exactly
• Switch Function: Mom-On-Mom (momentary-on-momentary) — must match exactly
• Current Rating: 0.4VA (AC/DC) — must match exactly
• Voltage Rating: 20V AC/DC — must match exactly
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount — must match exactly
• Actuator Type: Flat Anti-Rotation — must match exactly
• Actuator Length: 15.49mm — must match exactly
• Termination Style: PC Pin — must match exactly
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: Circular - 11.91mm Dia — must match exactly
• Bushing Thread: 15/32-32 — must match exactly
• Operating Temperature Range: -30°C ~ 85°C — must match exactly
• Electrical Life: 40,000 Cycles — must match exactly
• Actuator Material: Brass, Chrome Plated — must match exactly

The C&K 7215T2PCPE meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent within the C&K 7000 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7215T2PCPE is the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 7215T2PCKE. Both parts are identical across all electrical and mechanical parameters that determine switch operation and panel integration.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The 7215T2PCPE is an active product with RoHS compliance and REACH applicability, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The 7215T2PCKE, being obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, should be replaced with the 7215T2PCPE in all applications where regulatory compliance is a requirement.

For applications where the original 7215T2PCKE is currently installed, the 7215T2PCPE provides direct substitution without modification to panel cutouts, mounting hardware, or circuit connections.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7215T2PCPE directly replace the 7215T2PCKE without any modifications?

A: Yes. The 7215T2PCPE is mechanically and electrically identical to the 7215T2PCKE. Panel cutout dimensions, bushing thread specifications, actuator geometry, and all electrical ratings are identical. No modifications to the mounting panel or circuit connections are required.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from 7215T2PCKE to 7215T2PCPE?

A: The 7215T2PCKE is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 7215T2PCPE is an active product with RoHS compliance and REACH applicability, making it suitable for current manufacturing and regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there any differences in electrical performance between these two parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical current ratings (0.4VA AC/DC), voltage ratings (20V AC/DC), circuit configuration (SP3T), switch function (Mom-On-Mom), and electrical life (40,000 cycles).

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility for this switch?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in circuit configuration (SP3T), switch function (Mom-On-Mom), current and voltage ratings (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC), mounting type (panel mount), actuator specifications (flat anti-rotation, 15.49mm length), termination style (PC pin), panel cutout dimensions (11.91mm circular), bushing thread (15/32-32), operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C), electrical life (40,000 cycles), and actuator material (brass, chrome plated).

Q: Is the 7215T2PCPE available in the same packaging as the 7215T2PCKE?

A: Both parts use identical panel-mount packaging with the same mechanical interface specifications. No packaging conversion is required for substitution.
