Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7301J1AV2ME2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (3PDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Current rating (5A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle, Vertical)
• Actuator type and color (Concave Standard V, Black)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (100,000 Cycles)
• Approval certification (cULus)

The C&K 7301J1AV2SE2 meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is product status: the original part is obsolete while the substitute is active in production.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7301J1AV2SE2 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 7301J1AV2ME2. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The substitute part offers the additional advantage of active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The 7301J1AV2SE2 achieves RoHS compliance, which may be required for new designs or systems subject to environmental regulations. The REACH Affected status of the substitute indicates regulatory documentation is available for compliance verification in applicable jurisdictions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7301J1AV2SE2 be used as a direct replacement for the 7301J1AV2ME2?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (5A at 120V AC), circuit configuration (3PDT), mounting specifications (through-hole right-angle vertical), and operating parameters. The substitute is functionally equivalent.

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

A: The primary difference is product status. The 7301J1AV2ME2 is obsolete, while the 7301J1AV2SE2 is in active production. The substitute also achieves RoHS compliance. All functional and electrical parameters remain unchanged.

Q: Are the panel cutout dimensions identical?

A: The 7301J1AV2SE2 specifies panel cutout dimensions of 17.96mm x 10.62mm (rectangular). The original part does not provide this specification in available documentation. Verify mechanical fit in your specific application.

Q: Does the substitute part maintain the same certifications?

A: Yes. Both parts carry cULus approval certification. The substitute achieves additional RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: The 7301J1AV2ME2 has 779 pieces in stock (obsolete status). The 7301J1AV2SE2 has 912 pieces in stock (active production).
