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

Part Overview

The C&K 7101SDAQE is an active-status toggle switch with SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This panel-mount, right-angle switch features a standard round actuator with PC pin termination and is designed for applications requiring reliable switching in industrial and commercial environments. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, end-of-life considerations, or application-specific performance requirements within compatible electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the C&K 7101SDAQE is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting type: Panel Mount, Right Angle
• Panel cutout dimensions: Circular - 6.35mm Dia
• Bushing thread: 1/4-40
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Actuator type: Standard Round

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT
• Switch function: On-On
• Current rating: Must support minimum 5A (AC/DC)
• Voltage rating - AC: Must support minimum 120V
• Voltage rating - DC: Must support minimum 28V

Regulatory & Environmental Requirements:

• Operating temperature range: -30°C to 85°C minimum
• RoHS compliance status

The Grayhill Inc. 34ASP11B1M6RT meets all mechanical compatibility criteria and shares identical circuit configuration and mounting specifications. However, electrical performance parameters differ significantly and must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

C&K 7101SDAQE is the primary specification component. It is active-status, ROHS3 compliant, and rated for 5A at 120V AC / 28V DC operation.

Grayhill 34ASP11B1M6RT provides mechanical and circuit-level compatibility with identical mounting specifications, panel cutout dimensions, and bushing thread. Both components are active-status and ROHS3 compliant. However, the Grayhill substitute is rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC maximum, which represents reduced electrical performance compared to the C&K primary specification. Selection of the Grayhill substitute is appropriate only for applications where the actual operating voltage and current requirements do not exceed 0.4VA at 20V.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Grayhill 34ASP11B1M6RT be used as a direct replacement for the C&K 7101SDAQE?

A: Mechanical and circuit compatibility is confirmed. Both switches feature identical panel mount configuration, 1/4-40 bushing thread, 6.35mm circular cutout, PC pin termination, and SPDT On-On function. However, electrical ratings differ significantly. The Grayhill part is rated for 0.4VA at 20V maximum, while the C&K part is rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. Direct substitution is valid only if application requirements do not exceed the Grayhill electrical specifications.

Q: What are the critical mechanical compatibility factors?

A: Panel mount configuration, right-angle orientation, 6.35mm circular panel cutout diameter, 1/4-40 bushing thread, and PC pin termination must match exactly. Both listed parts meet these requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the C&K 7101SDAQE and Grayhill 34ASP11B1M6RT are ROHS3 compliant.

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

A: Both parts operate across -30°C to 85°C.

Q: How do the electrical ratings compare?

A: The C&K 7101SDAQE is rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. The Grayhill 34ASP11B1M6RT is rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC. Applications requiring the higher current and voltage ratings of the C&K part cannot use the Grayhill substitute.
