C&K 7103P3DCRI Toggle Switch SPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7103P3DCRI 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 switch features a flat anti-rotation actuator and is designed for On-Off-On switching applications. The device is potted with epoxy for environmental protection and operates across -30°C to 85°C. Finding equivalent or substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The E-Switch 100SP3T1B1M2QEH qualifies as a direct substitute for the C&K 7103P3DCRI based on the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical SPDT circuit configuration with On-Off-On switching function, 5A current rating at AC/DC, 120V AC and 28V DC voltage ratings
• Mechanical Compatibility: Both feature panel-mount installation with circular 6.35mm diameter cutout and 1/4-40 bushing thread, enabling direct mechanical interchange
• Termination Compatibility: Both use PC Pin termination style for identical PCB mounting
• Environmental Performance: Both operate across -30°C to 85°C temperature range with 40,000 electrical life cycles
• Regulatory Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant with EAR99 ECCN classification

The primary differences are the actuator type (flat anti-rotation versus standard round) and specific potting/sealing method, which do not affect functional substitution within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the C&K 7103P3DCRI and E-Switch 100SP3T1B1M2QEH are active-status products with ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Actuator Geometry: The C&K part features a flat anti-rotation actuator at 13.21mm length, while the E-Switch part uses a standard round actuator at 10.41mm length. Panel design and operator interface requirements determine which actuator type is appropriate.
• Environmental Sealing: The C&K part uses epoxy potting; the E-Switch part uses epoxy sealed terminals. Both provide equivalent environmental protection within the specified operating parameters.
• Availability: Both parts are in active production with documented inventory. Selection may depend on supply chain and lead-time considerations.
• Regulatory Status: The C&K part is REACH Affected; the E-Switch part is REACH Unaffected. Applications subject to REACH regulations should verify compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E-Switch 100SP3T1B1M2QEH directly replace the C&K 7103P3DCRI in existing designs?
