Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7301MDAV2LE 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 (Panel Mount, Right Angle, Vertical)
  • Actuator specifications (Standard Round, 6.86mm length)
  • Termination style (PC Pin)
  • Panel cutout dimensions (Circular 6.35mm Dia)
  • Bushing thread specification (1/4-40)
  • Operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C)
  • Electrical life (100,000 Cycles)

The C&K 7301MDAV2RE meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7301MDAV2RE is the direct substitute for the obsolete 7301MDAV2LE. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters. The 7301MDAV2RE is currently in active production status with improved regulatory compliance, meeting RoHS requirements. For new designs and ongoing system support, the 7301MDAV2RE is the appropriate selection. The transition from the non-compliant 7301MDAV2LE to the RoHS-compliant 7301MDAV2RE aligns with current regulatory standards while maintaining full functional equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7301MDAV2RE directly replace the 7301MDAV2LE in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 7301MDAV2RE is electrically and mechanically identical to the 7301MDAV2LE. All electrical ratings, mounting specifications, and actuator dimensions are equivalent. Direct substitution is supported without circuit or mechanical modifications.

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

A: The 7301MDAV2LE is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 7301MDAV2RE is in active production and RoHS compliant. Functional performance is identical.

Q: Are the panel cutout dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts require a circular 6.35mm diameter panel cutout with 1/4-40 bushing thread specification. No mechanical redesign is necessary for substitution.

Q: Do both parts have the same electrical life rating?

A: Yes. Both the 7301MDAV2LE and 7301MDAV2RE are rated for 100,000 electrical cycles under identical operating conditions.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these switches?

A: Both parts operate across the temperature range of -30°C to 85°C.
