U15MPY1AV2LE Toggle Switch SPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The U15MPY1AV2LE is a toggle switch with SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. It features panel mount installation with right angle vertical orientation and anti-rotation actuator design. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent models to maintain supply chain continuity for applications requiring this specific electrical and mechanical configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the U15MPY1AV2LE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (Mom-Off-Mom), current rating (5A AC/DC), voltage ratings (120V AC / 28V DC), mounting type (Panel Mount, Right Angle, Vertical), actuator type (Anti-Rotation), actuator length (5.08mm), termination style (PC Pin), panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 6.35mm Dia), bushing thread (1/4-40), and operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C).

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct functional equivalents. Variations in product status, compliance certifications, or inventory availability do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The U15MPY1AV2RE is a direct functional equivalent to the U15MPY1AV2LE. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, mechanical configuration, and operational characteristics within the 7000 series from C&K.

The primary distinction is product status: U15MPY1AV2LE is obsolete, while U15MPY1AV2RE is active. This status change reflects current manufacturing availability and supply chain support. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance, though with different certification levels (ROHS3 versus RoHS). The U15MPY1AV2RE is REACH Affected, whereas the U15MPY1AV2LE is REACH Unaffected.

For new designs or component replenishment, U15MPY1AV2RE is the appropriate selection due to active product status and ongoing manufacturer support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can U15MPY1AV2RE replace U15MPY1AV2LE in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters: SPDT circuit, 5A rating at 120V AC / 28V DC, panel mount configuration, anti-rotation actuator, and PC pin termination. Panel cutout dimensions and bushing thread specifications are identical, enabling direct substitution without design modification.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: Product status indicates manufacturing lifecycle stage. The U15MPY1AV2LE (Obsolete) is no longer in active production. The U15MPY1AV2RE (Active) is currently manufactured and supported by C&K, ensuring availability for procurement and technical support.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The U15MPY1AV2LE carries ROHS3 certification, while U15MPY1AV2RE carries RoHS certification. The U15MPY1AV2RE is REACH Affected, whereas U15MPY1AV2LE is REACH Unaffected. These certifications do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; they reflect regulatory compliance status at the time of manufacture.

Q: Do the mechanical dimensions remain unchanged?

A: Yes. Panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 6.35mm Dia), bushing thread (1/4-40), actuator length (5.08mm), and mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Right Angle, Vertical) are identical between both parts, ensuring mechanical interchangeability.

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

A: Both U15MPY1AV2LE and U15MPY1AV2RE operate across -30°C to 85°C, with identical electrical life rating of 40,000 cycles.
