C&K 7415P3HCME Toggle Switch DP3T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7415P3HCME is a panel-mount toggle switch with DP3T (double-pole, triple-throw) circuit configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This component belongs to the C&K 7000 series and features a momentary-on-momentary (Mom-On-Mom) switch function with a flat anti-rotation actuator. The part is currently obsolete with 900 units in stock inventory. Due to its obsolete status, identifying functionally equivalent active alternatives is essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7415P3HCME is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (DP3T)
• Switch function (Mom-On-Mom)
• Current rating (5A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount)
• Actuator specifications (Flat Anti-Rotation, 11.43mm 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 (40,000 Cycles)
• Base product number (7415P3)

The C&K 7415P3HCSE qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the substitute part is active and currently in production, whereas the original part is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7415P3HCSE is the direct substitute for the obsolete 7415P3HCME. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, mechanical specifications, and functional characteristics. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for new designs and system replacements.

Compliance considerations: The 7415P3HCME carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, while the 7415P3HCSE carries RoHS Compliant certification. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected or REACH Affected status respectively, with identical EAR99 export classification and HTSUS coding. The moisture sensitivity level remains constant at MSL 1 (Unlimited) for both variants.

Selection of the 7415P3HCSE eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full functional and mechanical compatibility with existing panel mount installations and circuit designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7415P3HCSE directly replace the 7415P3HCME in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical electrical ratings (5A at 120V AC / 28V DC), circuit configuration (DP3T Mom-On-Mom), mechanical dimensions (11.43mm flat anti-rotation actuator, 6.35mm circular panel cutout, 1/4-40 bushing thread), and termination style (PC Pin). Panel mount installation is identical.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 7415P3HCME is obsolete. The 7415P3HCSE is the active production equivalent from the same manufacturer and series, providing continuity for ongoing system support and new implementations.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts maintain identical moisture sensitivity (MSL 1 - Unlimited), export classification (EAR99), and HTSUS coding (8536.50.9065). The RoHS certification differs slightly (ROHS3 Compliant vs. RoHS Compliant), but both meet current regulatory requirements.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on matching circuit configuration (DP3T), switch function (Mom-On-Mom), current and voltage ratings (5A AC/DC, 120V AC, 28V DC), mounting type (Panel Mount), actuator specifications (Flat Anti-Rotation, 11.43mm), termination style (PC Pin), panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 6.35mm Dia), bushing thread (1/4-40), operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C), and electrical life (40,000 Cycles).

Q: Is inventory availability a factor in substitution?

A: The 7415P3HCME has 900 units in stock as obsolete inventory. The 7415P3HCSE has 913 units in active stock. For new designs and long-term system support, the active production part (7415P3HCSE) is the appropriate selection.
