Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7301MD9AV2LE 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 specifications (Standard Round, 6.86mm length)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (100,000 cycles)
• Base product family (7301MD series)

Parts meeting all these criteria are considered direct functional equivalents. Variations in product status, RoHS compliance, or REACH classification do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7301MD9AV2RE is a direct functional equivalent to the 7301MD9AV2LE. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the 7301MD9AV2RE is currently active in production, whereas the 7301MD9AV2LE is obsolete.

For new designs and ongoing production, the 7301MD9AV2RE is the appropriate selection. The substitute part maintains full compatibility with existing circuit designs and mechanical assemblies. The RoHS Compliant status of the 7301MD9AV2RE aligns with current regulatory requirements in most markets. The REACH Affected classification indicates the part is subject to REACH regulations; compliance verification should be performed according to applicable regional requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 7301MD9AV2LE and 7301MD9AV2RE electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC with identical 3PDT On-On circuit configuration. Electrical performance and switching characteristics are equivalent.

Q: Can the 7301MD9AV2RE be used as a direct replacement in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 7301MD9AV2RE matches all mechanical specifications of the 7301MD9AV2LE, including mounting type (through-hole right-angle vertical), actuator dimensions (6.86mm standard round), and termination style (PC pin). No mechanical modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 7301MD9AV2RE is RoHS Compliant, meeting restrictions on hazardous substances. The 7301MD9AV2LE is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the 7301MD9AV2RE is the required selection.

Q: Does the REACH Affected status of the 7301MD9AV2RE affect compatibility?

A: REACH Affected status indicates the part is subject to REACH chemical regulations. This classification does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Compliance obligations depend on regional requirements and application context.

Q: Why is the 7301MD9AV2LE listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The 7301MD9AV2RE serves as the current production equivalent within the same 7301MD series.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting between these parts?

A: The 7301MD9AV2LE has 966 pieces in stock; the 7301MD9AV2RE has 922 pieces in stock. For new projects, the active status of the 7301MD9AV2RE ensures long-term availability.
