Toggle Switch SPDT 7101TZGES Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 7101TZGES is an active-status toggle switch manufactured by C&K, featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuitry with On-On switching function. This panel-mount component is rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC, with a satin chrome actuator and solder lug termination. The part is in active production with 711 units currently in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and circuit configurations are required due to supply constraints, design standardization, or inventory management.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7101TZGES is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: SPDT topology required
• Switch Function: On-On operation mandatory
• Current Rating: 5A (AC/DC) minimum
• Voltage Ratings: 120V AC and 28V DC minimum
• Mounting Type: Panel mount with circular 11.91mm diameter cutout
• Bushing Thread: 15/32-32 thread specification
• Termination Style: Solder lug connections
• Operating Temperature: -30°C to 85°C range
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant status

The substitute part 100SP1T8B13M1QEH from E-Switch meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters, enabling direct functional replacement in applications requiring SPDT toggle switch operation at specified voltage and current levels.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 7101TZGES and 100SP1T8B13M1QEH are active-status products with ROHS3 compliance, meeting regulatory requirements for electronic component deployment. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

Primary Selection (7101TZGES): Specified when electrical life expectancy of 100,000 cycles is required for high-cycle-count applications or when the exact actuator length of 17.45mm is critical to panel assembly geometry.

Substitute Selection (100SP1T8B13M1QEH): Applicable when supply availability of the primary part is constrained and the application environment supports the reduced electrical life rating of 40,000 cycles. The actuator length variation of 0.55mm must be evaluated against panel cutout tolerances and actuator clearance requirements.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance at rated voltage and current specifications, with matching panel mount dimensions and thread specifications enabling mechanical interchangeability in standard panel installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 100SP1T8B13M1QEH replace the 7101TZGES in all applications?

A: The 100SP1T8B13M1QEH is electrically and mechanically compatible for applications where the 40,000-cycle electrical life rating is acceptable. Applications requiring the 100,000-cycle rating of the 7101TZGES must use the primary part.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.55mm actuator length difference?

A: The actuator length variation must be evaluated against panel design specifications. If the panel assembly includes actuator length constraints or clearance requirements, this difference may affect fitment. Standard panel cutout dimensions remain identical.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same voltage and current specifications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC, with identical operating temperature ranges of -30°C to 85°C.

Q: What is the difference in REACH compliance status between these parts?

A: The 7101TZGES is REACH Affected, while the 100SP1T8B13M1QEH is REACH Unaffected. Applications subject to REACH regulatory requirements should confirm compliance obligations with the relevant regulatory framework.

Q: Are solder lug terminations identical between both parts?

A: Both parts feature solder lug termination style. Mechanical and electrical connection methods are equivalent for standard PCB and panel wiring applications.
