Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the E201J1AV2LE2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Circuit configuration: DPDT
• Switch function: On-On
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle, Vertical
• Actuator type: Concave (Standard V)
• Actuator color: Black
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Operating temperature range: -30°C to 85°C
• Electrical life: 40,000 Cycles

Electrical Rating Compatibility:

• Current rating must meet or exceed 7.5A (AC/DC)
• AC voltage rating must meet or exceed 125V
• DC voltage rating must meet or exceed 28V

The E201J1AV2RE2 (C&K, Active status) qualifies as a direct equivalent, matching all mechanical and electrical parameters while offering improved availability. The E-Switch 300 series parts (300DP1J1BLKM7QEIO and 300DP1J1BLKM7RE) are listed as similar alternatives but present reduced electrical ratings that fall below the original specification requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

E201J1AV2RE2 (C&K) is the recommended direct replacement for the obsolete E201J1AV2LE2. Both parts are manufactured by C&K, share identical electrical ratings (7.5A at 125V AC), mechanical configuration, and operating parameters. The E201J1AV2RE2 maintains active product status with cULus approval certification, ensuring continued design support and regulatory compliance. This part provides full functional and electrical equivalence with no derating required.

300DP1J1BLKM7QEIO (E-Switch) and 300DP1J1BLKM7RE (E-Switch) are listed as similar alternatives but present electrical limitations. The 300DP1J1BLKM7QEIO is rated for 5A at 120V AC, which is below the original 7.5A specification. The 300DP1J1BLKM7RE is rated for 0.4VA at 20V, significantly below the original electrical requirements. These parts are suitable only for applications with reduced electrical demands that do not require the full 7.5A capacity or 125V rating of the original design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E201J1AV2RE2 be used as a direct replacement for the E201J1AV2LE2?

A: Yes. The E201J1AV2RE2 is a direct equivalent with identical electrical ratings (7.5A at 125V AC), circuit configuration (DPDT), mounting type (through-hole right-angle vertical), and operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C). Both parts feature PC pin termination, concave black actuators, and 40,000 cycle electrical life. The primary difference is product status: E201J1AV2RE2 is active while E201J1AV2LE2 is obsolete.

Q: What are the electrical limitations of the E-Switch 300 series alternatives?

A: The 300DP1J1BLKM7QEIO is rated for 5A at 120V AC, which is 2.5A below the original 7.5A specification. The 300DP1J1BLKM7RE is rated for 0.4VA at 20V, substantially below the original requirements. These parts are not suitable for applications requiring the full electrical capacity of the E201J1AV2LE2.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The E201J1AV2LE2 is RoHS3 compliant, as are both E-Switch alternatives (300DP1J1BLKM7QEIO and 300DP1J1BLKM7RE). The E201J1AV2RE2 is RoHS compliant. All parts meet RoHS requirements for new designs.

Q: What certifications apply to these parts?

A: The E201J1AV2LE2 and E201J1AV2RE2 both carry cULus approval. The E-Switch 300 series parts do not list approval agency certifications in the provided specifications. For applications requiring specific regulatory approvals, the C&K E201J1AV2RE2 is the appropriate choice.

Q: Can these switches be used interchangeably in existing PCB designs?

A: The E201J1AV2RE2 is mechanically and electrically interchangeable with the E201J1AV2LE2 without PCB modifications. Both use identical through-hole PC pin termination and right-angle vertical mounting. The E-Switch 300 series parts share the same mounting type and termination style but present reduced electrical ratings that may require circuit design review.
