Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7303P3Y9CLE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (3PDT)
• Switch function (On-Off-On)
• Current rating (5A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (120V AC / 28V DC)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Actuator type and length (Flat Anti-Rotation, 11.43mm)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (40,000 Cycles)

The C&K 7303P3Y9CRE meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct manufacturer equivalent within the same 7000 series platform.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7303P3Y9CRE is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 7303P3Y9CLE. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the 7000 series platform. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance: the 7303P3Y9CRE is currently in active production and meets RoHS compliance requirements, whereas the 7303P3Y9CLE is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or production continuity, the 7303P3Y9CRE is the appropriate selection. Both parts carry the same ECCN classification (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8536.50.9065).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7303P3Y9CRE directly replace the 7303P3Y9CLE in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters: 3PDT circuit, 5A current rating, 120V AC / 28V DC voltage ratings, through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, and identical actuator specifications. No circuit modifications are required.

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

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 7303P3Y9CLE is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 7303P3Y9CRE is in active production and RoHS compliant. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any package or footprint differences?

A: No. Both components use identical through-hole PC pin termination and the same physical form factor with 11.43mm flat anti-rotation actuators.

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: The 7303P3Y9CRE should be specified for new designs due to its active production status and RoHS compliance. The 7303P3Y9CLE is obsolete and should not be used in new applications.

Q: Are there any temperature or electrical life differences?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-30°C to 85°C) and support 40,000 electrical cycles.
