Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Circuit configuration (3PDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Right Angle)
• Current rating (0.4VA AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (20V AC and DC)
• Actuator specifications (Standard Round, 17.45mm length)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 11.91mm Dia)
• Bushing thread (15/32-32)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C)
• Electrical life (100,000 Cycles)

The C&K 7301TAPE meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete 7301TAKE.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7301TAPE is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 7301TAKE. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The 7301TAPE offers the additional advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

The 7301TAPE carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the 7301TAKE is non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements, the 7301TAPE is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems requiring exact historical component matching, the 7301TAKE specifications remain available through the 7301TAPE's equivalent performance profile.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7301TAPE directly replace the 7301TAKE in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 7301TAPE is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 7301TAKE across all specified parameters, including circuit configuration, voltage and current ratings, mounting dimensions, and operating temperature range.

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

A: The 7301TAKE is obsolete, while the 7301TAPE is active. Additionally, the 7301TAPE is RoHS compliant, whereas the 7301TAKE is not.

Q: Are the panel cutout dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both components require a circular 11.91mm diameter panel cutout with a 15/32-32 bushing thread, ensuring mechanical interchangeability.

Q: Do both parts support the same electrical specifications?

A: Yes. Both the 7301TAKE and 7301TAPE are rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC with 3PDT configuration and 100,000 cycle electrical life.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The C&K 7301TAPE should be selected for new designs due to its active product status and RoHS compliance certification.
