Equivalent & Substitute Parts for U15L2D9AV2LE

Part Overview

The C&K U15L2D9AV2LE is a toggle switch SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) rated for 5A at 120V AC with momentary-off-momentary (Mom-Off-Mom) switching function. This component features through-hole, right-angle vertical mounting with epoxy sealed terminals and operates across -30°C to 85°C. The part is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent alternatives that maintain functional and electrical compatibility for new designs or production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the U15L2D9AV2LE is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (Mom-Off-Mom)
• Current rating (5A AC/DC minimum)
• Voltage ratings (120V AC / 28V DC minimum)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle, Vertical)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (40,000 cycles)

Substitute Classification:

Direct Manufacturer Substitute: U15L2D9AV2RE (C&K) — Identical electrical and mechanical specifications with active product status.

Similar Manufacturer Substitute: 100SP4T4B4M7RE (E-Switch) — Shares circuit configuration, mounting type, and termination style. Electrical ratings differ: 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC versus 5A at 120V AC / 28V DC. This part is suitable only for applications with lower power requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Recommended): U15L2D9AV2RE is the primary substitute. This C&K part maintains identical electrical specifications (5A at 120V AC / 28V DC), mechanical configuration, and operating parameters. The part holds active product status, ensuring supply chain availability. RoHS compliance is maintained, though REACH status differs from the original (REACH Affected versus REACH Unaffected). This distinction requires evaluation based on end-use geography and regulatory requirements.

For Lower-Power Applications: 100SP4T4B4M7RE (E-Switch) is suitable only when application requirements permit reduced electrical ratings (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC). The actuator length variance (16.26mm versus 15.75mm) and different manufacturer series require mechanical fit validation. This part maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status.

Compliance Considerations: Both substitute parts maintain EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS codes. Moisture sensitivity level remains MSL 1 (Unlimited) across all options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can U15L2D9AV2RE directly replace U15L2D9AV2LE without design modification?

A: Yes. U15L2D9AV2RE is electrically and mechanically identical to the obsolete U15L2D9AV2LE. Both are C&K 7000 series SPDT toggle switches with 5A at 120V AC / 28V DC ratings, identical mounting configurations, and 40,000-cycle electrical life. No circuit or mechanical redesign is required.

Q: What are the electrical limitations of the E-Switch 100SP4T4B4M7RE substitute?

A: The 100SP4T4B4M7RE is rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC, compared to the original 5A at 120V AC / 28V DC. This part is suitable only for low-power signal switching applications. High-current or high-voltage applications require the C&K U15L2D9AV2RE.

Q: Does the 16.26mm actuator length of the E-Switch part affect mechanical compatibility?

A: The E-Switch 100SP4T4B4M7RE has a 0.51mm longer actuator (16.26mm versus 15.75mm). Panel cutout dimensions and actuator clearance must be evaluated for the specific application. Mechanical fit validation is required before design implementation.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: U15L2D9AV2RE carries REACH Affected status, while the original U15L2D9AV2LE and E-Switch 100SP4T4B4M7RE are REACH Unaffected. Both substitutes maintain RoHS compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification. Geographic end-use and regulatory requirements determine the appropriate selection.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: U15L2D9AV2LE and U15L2D9AV2RE are supplied in standard packaging. The E-Switch 100SP4T4B4M7RE is supplied in bulk packaging, which may affect procurement quantities and handling procedures.
