Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7301K9AV2RE replace the 7301K9AV2LE in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The 7301K9AV2RE maintains the same 3PDT circuit, 5A current rating, 120V AC / 28V DC voltage specifications, through-hole right-angle vertical mounting, 17.88mm actuator length, and PC pin termination. Direct substitution is possible without design modification.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 7301K9AV2LE is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 7301K9AV2RE is an active product with RoHS compliance. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any package or footprint differences?

A: No. Both parts use identical through-hole, right-angle, vertical mounting with PC pin termination. PCB layout and mechanical integration remain unchanged.

Q: Why should I transition from the 7301K9AV2LE to the 7301K9AV2RE?

A: The 7301K9AV2LE is obsolete, creating supply chain risk and potential unavailability. The 7301K9AV2RE is an active product with current manufacturing support and RoHS compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment and long-term availability.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC with 100,000 cycle electrical life and -30°C to 85°C operating temperature range.
