C&K 7101P4YAKE Toggle Switch SPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7101P4YAKE is a toggle switch with Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) configuration, rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC. This panel-mount, right-angle switch features a flat anti-rotation actuator and PC pin termination. The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing applications and new designs requiring compatible switching functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 7101P4YAKE is determined by strict electrical and mechanical compatibility. All substitute parts must maintain the following critical parameters:

• SPDT circuit configuration with On-On switch function
• 0.4VA current rating at 20V AC/DC voltage
• Panel mount, right-angle orientation
• Circular 6.35mm diameter panel cutout with 1/4-40 bushing thread
• PC pin termination style
• Operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C
• Epoxy sealed terminals

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: direct manufacturer equivalents from C&K and cross-manufacturer alternatives that meet all electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7101P4YAPE is the primary substitute for the obsolete 7101P4YAKE. Both parts are from the same manufacturer series (7000), share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and termination specifications. The 7101P4YAPE maintains active product status and full RoHS compliance, making it the direct replacement for applications currently using the 7101P4YAKE.

The E-Switch 100SP1T2B1M6RE provides an alternative cross-manufacturer option that meets all critical electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements. This part maintains the same voltage and current ratings, panel cutout dimensions, bushing thread specification, and termination style. However, the 100SP1T2B1M6RE features a standard round actuator (5.08mm length) compared to the flat anti-rotation actuator (6.35mm length) of the original part, and provides 40,000 electrical cycles versus 100,000 cycles. The 100SP1T2B1M6RE is ROHS3 compliant and carries active product status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7101P4YAPE directly replace the 7101P4YAKE without circuit modifications?

A: Yes. The 7101P4YAPE maintains identical electrical ratings (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC), circuit configuration (SPDT On-On), mechanical dimensions (6.35mm panel cutout, 1/4-40 bushing thread), and termination style (PC pin). Both parts operate across the same temperature range (-30°C to 85°C) with epoxy sealed terminals.

Q: What are the key differences between the C&K 7101P4YAPE and the E-Switch 100SP1T2B1M6RE?

A: Both parts meet the core electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. The primary differences are: (1) actuator design—the 7101P4YAPE uses a flat anti-rotation actuator at 6.35mm length, while the 100SP1T2B1M6RE uses a standard round actuator at 5.08mm length; (2) electrical life—the 7101P4YAPE is rated for 100,000 cycles, the 100SP1T2B1M6RE for 40,000 cycles; (3) manufacturer—C&K versus E-Switch.

Q: Is the 100SP1T2B1M6RE suitable for applications requiring high cycle counts?

A: The 100SP1T2B1M6RE is rated for 40,000 electrical cycles, compared to 100,000 cycles for the original 7101P4YAKE and the 7101P4YAPE. Applications requiring extended electrical life should prioritize the 7101P4YAPE.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 7101P4YAPE is RoHS compliant, and the 100SP1T2B1M6RE is ROHS3 compliant. Both meet applicable environmental and material restriction standards.

Q: Does the difference in actuator type affect panel mounting?

A: No. Both the flat anti-rotation actuator (7101P4YAPE) and standard round actuator (100SP1T2B1M6RE) are compatible with the same 6.35mm circular panel cutout and 1/4-40 bushing thread specification. The actuator type difference does not affect mechanical installation.
