Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the U23P1D9V6LE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: DPDT
• Switch function: On-Off-On
• Current rating: 5A (AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings: 120V AC and 28V DC
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Actuator type: Flat Anti-Rotation
• Actuator length: 23.11mm
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Operating temperature range: -30°C to 85°C
• Electrical life: 40,000 Cycles
• Base product number: U23P1D

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct equivalents and may be substituted without circuit or mechanical redesign.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K U23P1D9V6RE serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete U23P1D9V6LE. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction lies in product status: the U23P1D9V6RE is currently active in production, whereas the U23P1D9V6LE is obsolete.

From a compliance perspective, the U23P1D9V6RE maintains RoHS compliance and is REACH affected, compared to the main part's ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. These compliance differences reflect current regulatory frameworks and do not impact functional interchangeability in applications meeting the specified electrical and environmental requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the U23P1D9V6RE replace the U23P1D9V6LE in existing designs?

A: Yes. The U23P1D9V6RE is a direct substitute. Both components are identical in circuit configuration (DPDT), current rating (5A AC/DC), voltage ratings (120V AC / 28V DC), mounting type (through hole), actuator specifications, and electrical life (40,000 cycles). No circuit or mechanical modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. The U23P1D9V6LE is obsolete, while the U23P1D9V6RE is active. Additionally, compliance designations differ: U23P1D9V6LE is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while U23P1D9V6RE is RoHS compliant and REACH affected. Functionally and electrically, the components are equivalent.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and mounting footprints identical?

A: Yes. Both components feature the same through-hole mounting type, identical actuator length (23.11mm), flat anti-rotation actuator type, and PC pin termination style. PCB layout and mechanical integration remain unchanged.

Q: What is the electrical life specification, and does it differ between these parts?

A: Both components are rated for 40,000 electrical cycles. This specification is identical and represents the expected operational life under normal switching conditions.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental operating differences?

A: No. Both components operate across the identical temperature range of -30°C to 85°C. Environmental performance characteristics are equivalent.
