U415J2CME1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The U415J2CME1 is a rocker switch manufactured by C&K, classified as DP3T (double pole, three throw) with a 5A rating at 120V AC. This through-hole mounted switch features a white paddle actuator and is designed for momentary-on-momentary operation. The U415J2CME1 is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the U415J2CME1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (DP3T)
• Current rating (5A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Switch function (Mom-On-Mom)
• Actuator type (Paddle)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (40,000 Cycles)
• Approval agency certification (cULus)

The U415J2CSE1 meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the C&K 7000 series. The primary distinction is product status: U415J2CSE1 is active production, whereas U415J2CME1 is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The U415J2CSE1 is the direct substitute for the obsolete U415J2CME1.
