Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7101SCWAV2QE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Must be SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw)
• Switch Function: Must be On-On
• Current Rating: Must support minimum 5A at AC/DC
• Voltage Rating: Must support minimum 120V AC and 28V DC
• Mounting Configuration: Must be Panel Mount, Right Angle, Vertical
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: Must be Circular 6.35mm Dia
• Bushing Thread: Must be 1/4-40
• Termination Style: Must be PC Pin
• Operating Temperature: Must cover -30°C to 85°C range

The E-Switch 100SP1T1B1M7QEH meets all mandatory substitution criteria and is classified as a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The E-Switch 100SP1T1B1M7QEH provides functional equivalence to the C&K 7101SCWAV2QE across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection between these parts should be based on the following considerations:

C&K 7101SCWAV2QE is the preferred choice when:

• IP67 ingress protection is a design requirement
• Extended electrical life of 100,000 cycles is necessary
• Applications do not require RoHS3 compliance

E-Switch 100SP1T1B1M7QEH is suitable when:

• RoHS3 compliance is mandated by design or regulatory requirements
• REACH compliance is required
• Electrical life of 40,000 cycles meets application demands
• IP67 protection is not specified as a requirement

Both parts share identical electrical ratings, mounting geometry, and termination configuration, ensuring direct mechanical and electrical interchangeability within the specified parameter constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E-Switch 100SP1T1B1M7QEH be used as a direct replacement for the C&K 7101SCWAV2QE?

A: Yes, the E-Switch part is electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters: SPDT circuit, 5A/120V AC rating, panel mount configuration, and PC pin termination. The 0.26mm difference in actuator length (10.41mm vs 10.67mm) does not affect functional compatibility in standard panel mount applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are: (1) IP67 ingress protection is specified for the C&K part but not for the E-Switch part; (2) C&K provides 100,000 electrical cycles versus 40,000 for E-Switch; (3) E-Switch is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while C&K is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected.

Q: Which part should I select for a new design?

A: Selection depends on regulatory and environmental requirements. If RoHS3 compliance is mandatory, use the E-Switch part. If IP67 protection or extended electrical life is critical, use the C&K part. Both meet the core electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are the panel cutout dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts require a circular 6.35mm diameter cutout with 1/4-40 bushing thread, ensuring identical panel mounting compatibility.

Q: What is the impact of the 40,000 versus 100,000 cycle difference?

A: This difference reflects the rated electrical life under specified operating conditions. Applications with frequent switching cycles should consider this parameter relative to expected product lifetime and duty cycle requirements.
