Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7303SYAV2ME is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Circuit configuration (3PDT)
  • Switch function (On-Off-On)
  • Current and voltage ratings (5A AC/DC, 120V AC, 28V DC)
  • Mounting type and orientation (Panel Mount, Right Angle, Vertical)
  • Actuator specifications (Standard Round, 10.67mm length)
  • Termination style (PC Pin)
  • Panel cutout and bushing dimensions (Circular 6.35mm Dia, 1/4-40 thread)
  • Operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C)
  • Electrical life (40,000 cycles)

The C&K 7303SYAV2SE meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is product status: the 7303SYAV2SE is active, whereas the 7303SYAV2ME is obsolete.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7303SYAV2SE is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 7303SYAV2ME. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, ensuring functional compatibility in existing designs.

For new designs or procurement requiring regulatory compliance, the 7303SYAV2SE is preferred due to its active product status and RoHS compliance. The 7303SYAV2SE is subject to REACH regulations, whereas the 7303SYAV2ME is REACH unaffected; this distinction reflects the regulatory environment applicable to the active part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7303SYAV2SE directly replace the 7303SYAV2ME in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (5A, 120V AC, 28V DC), circuit configuration (3PDT), switch function (On-Off-On), and mechanical specifications (panel mount, right angle vertical orientation, 10.67mm actuator, PC pin termination, 6.35mm circular cutout, 1/4-40 bushing thread). Panel cutout and mounting dimensions are identical.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from the 7303SYAV2ME to the 7303SYAV2SE?

A: The 7303SYAV2ME is classified as obsolete. The 7303SYAV2SE is the active equivalent within the C&K 7000 series, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 7303SYAV2SE is RoHS compliant and REACH affected, whereas the 7303SYAV2ME is RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. For applications subject to RoHS or REACH requirements, the 7303SYAV2SE is the appropriate selection.

Q: Do both parts have the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 7303SYAV2ME and 7303SYAV2SE operate across -30°C to 85°C.

Q: Is the electrical life specification identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 40,000 electrical cycles.
