C&K U11K2V6LE Toggle Switch SPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K U11K2V6LE is a panel-mounted toggle switch with SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This component features a locking lever actuator with epoxy sealed terminals and is designed for On-On switching applications. The U11K2V6LE is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this switch type is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the U11K2V6LE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Current rating (5A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount)
• Actuator type and length (Locking Lever, 17.88mm)
• 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 (100,000 Cycles)

The C&K U11K2V6RE meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete U11K2V6LE.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K U11K2V6RE is the direct substitute for the obsolete U11K2V6LE. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The U11K2V6RE maintains active product status, ensuring availability and continued manufacturer support.

The primary distinction between the two parts is regulatory compliance status. The U11K2V6LE carries ROHS3 Compliant certification with REACH Unaffected status, while the U11K2V6RE is RoHS Compliant with REACH Affected status. Both components are classified under ECCN EAR99 and share the same HTSUS code (8536.50.9065).

For applications requiring the specific regulatory profile of the original U11K2V6LE, the U11K2V6RE provides functional and mechanical equivalence with updated compliance documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the U11K2V6RE directly replace the U11K2V6LE in existing designs?

A: Yes. The U11K2V6RE is mechanically and electrically identical to the U11K2V6LE. Panel cutout dimensions, bushing thread specifications, actuator geometry, and all electrical ratings are equivalent. Direct substitution is possible without design modification.

Q: What is the difference between ROHS3 Compliant and RoHS Compliant status?

A: ROHS3 refers to the third iteration of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. The U11K2V6LE carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, while the U11K2V6RE carries RoHS Compliant status. Both indicate compliance with hazardous substance restrictions, with ROHS3 representing the most current regulatory framework.

Q: Does the REACH Affected status of the U11K2V6RE affect substitution suitability?

A: REACH Affected status indicates the component is subject to Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals regulations. This is a regulatory classification that does not alter the component's electrical or mechanical performance. Substitution suitability is determined by functional equivalence, which is confirmed across all parameters.

Q: Are the panel mounting dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both the U11K2V6LE and U11K2V6RE feature a circular panel cutout of 6.35mm diameter with a 1/4-40 bushing thread. Panel mounting is mechanically identical.

Q: What is the electrical life expectancy for both components?

A: Both the U11K2V6LE and U11K2V6RE are rated for 100,000 electrical cycles, indicating equivalent operational durability under specified switching conditions.
