C&K 7215T2PCLE Toggle Switch SP3T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7215T2PCLE is a panel-mount toggle switch with SP3T (single-pole, three-throw) circuit configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This component features a momentary-on-momentary (Mom-On-Mom) switch function with a flat anti-rotation actuator and PC pin termination. The 7215T2PCLE is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7215T2PCLE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SP3T)
• Switch function (Mom-On-Mom)
• Current rating (5A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount)
• Actuator type and length (Flat Anti-Rotation, 15.49mm)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 11.91mm Dia)
• Bushing thread specification (15/32-32)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (40,000 Cycles)

The C&K 7215T2PCRE qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all electrical and mechanical parameters listed above.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7215T2PCRE is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 7215T2PCLE. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct functional compatibility in panel-mount applications requiring SP3T momentary switching at 5A and 120V AC operation.

The 7215T2PCRE offers the advantage of active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support and availability. Additionally, the 7215T2PCRE achieves RoHS compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement in regulated industries. The REACH Affected designation on the 7215T2PCRE reflects current regulatory scope, whereas the 7215T2PCLE's REACH Unaffected status reflects its obsolete classification.

For applications requiring regulatory compliance with modern environmental standards, the 7215T2PCRE is the recommended selection. Functional equivalence is confirmed across all critical parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7215T2PCRE directly replace the 7215T2PCLE in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 7215T2PCRE is a direct functional equivalent. All electrical ratings (5A, 120V AC, 28V DC), circuit configuration (SP3T), mechanical dimensions (panel cutout, bushing thread, actuator length), and operating characteristics (Mom-On-Mom function, -30°C to 85°C temperature range) are identical. No circuit modifications or mechanical redesign is required.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 7215T2PCLE is classified as obsolete, while the 7215T2PCRE maintains active product status. The 7215T2PCRE also achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the 7215T2PCLE does not. Functionally and mechanically, the parts are equivalent.

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

A: No. Both parts share identical panel cutout specifications (circular 11.91mm diameter) and bushing thread dimensions (15/32-32). Existing panel-mount installations require no mechanical modification.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental regulations, not electrical performance. Both parts deliver identical electrical characteristics and switching performance.

Q: What inventory status should be considered for procurement?

A: The 7215T2PCLE has 821 pieces in stock but is obsolete. The 7215T2PCRE has 738 pieces in stock and maintains active product status. For new procurement, the 7215T2PCRE is the appropriate selection.
