C&K 7307L2H3AV2ME Toggle Switch 3PDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7307L2H3AV2ME is a 3PDT toggle switch designed for panel mount applications with right angle, vertical orientation. This switch provides 5A rated current at 120V AC / 28V DC with an On-Off-Mom switch function. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent models essential for procurement and design continuity. The substitute part 7307L2H3AV2SE maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7307L2H3AV2ME is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (3PDT)
• Current rating (5A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (120V AC / 28V DC)
• Switch function (On-Off-Mom)
• Mounting type and orientation (Panel Mount, Right Angle, Vertical)
• Actuator specifications (Standard Round, 13.46mm length)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 6.35mm Dia)
• Bushing thread specification (1/4-40)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life rating (40,000 Cycles)

The substitute part 7307L2H3AV2SE meets all these criteria without deviation, establishing direct functional and mechanical interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 7307L2H3AV2SE is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 7307L2H3AV2ME. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, ensuring drop-in compatibility in existing designs and PCB layouts.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The 7307L2H3AV2ME is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production and limited availability. The 7307L2H3AV2SE maintains active product status with current manufacturing support.

The 7307L2H3AV2SE achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the 7307L2H3AV2ME does not. For applications subject to RoHS directives or customer requirements mandating RoHS-compliant components, the 7307L2H3AV2SE is the appropriate selection. The 7307L2H3AV2SE is also REACH Affected, indicating compliance with REACH chemical substance regulations.

For new designs, procurement of active inventory, or compliance-driven applications, the 7307L2H3AV2SE is the recommended selection. For legacy system maintenance where RoHS compliance is not a requirement, the 7307L2H3AV2ME remains functionally equivalent if available inventory permits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7307L2H3AV2SE replace the 7307L2H3AV2ME in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 7307L2H3AV2SE is a direct functional and mechanical equivalent. All electrical ratings, circuit configuration, mounting specifications, and actuator dimensions are identical. No design modifications are required for substitution.

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

A: The parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active) and regulatory compliance. The 7307L2H3AV2SE is RoHS compliant and REACH Affected, while the 7307L2H3AV2ME is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Unaffected.

Q: Why should I select the 7307L2H3AV2SE over the 7307L2H3AV2ME?

A: The 7307L2H3AV2SE offers active product status with ongoing manufacturing support and improved regulatory compliance. The 7307L2H3AV2ME is obsolete with limited availability. For new designs and compliance-driven applications, the 7307L2H3AV2SE is the appropriate choice.

Q: Are there any panel cutout or mounting modifications required when switching from 7307L2H3AV2ME to 7307L2H3AV2SE?

A: No. Both parts share identical panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 6.35mm Dia) and bushing thread specifications (1/4-40). Direct mechanical substitution is possible without PCB or panel modifications.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both the 7307L2H3AV2ME and 7307L2H3AV2SE operate across -30°C to 85°C. Temperature performance is identical between the two parts.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a factor in my application?

A: If your application, customer requirements, or regional regulations mandate RoHS compliance, the 7307L2H3AV2SE is the required selection. The 7307L2H3AV2ME does not meet RoHS standards.
