C&K 7103TZQES Toggle Switch SPDT 5A 120V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7103TZQES is an active production toggle switch featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuitry with On-Off-On switching function. Rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC, this panel-mount component is designed for applications requiring reliable switching with satin chrome actuator finish. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, supply chain disruptions, or specific application requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the C&K 7103TZQES is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Must be SPDT
• Switch Function: Must be On-Off-On
• Current Rating: Must be 5A AC/DC minimum
• Voltage Ratings: Must support 120V AC and 28V DC minimum
• Mounting Type: Must be Panel Mount
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: Must be Circular 11.91mm Dia
• Bushing Thread: Must be 15/32-32
• Termination Style: Must be Solder Lug
• Operating Temperature Range: Must cover -30°C to 85°C
• Electrical Life: Must be 40,000 Cycles minimum
• RoHS Compliance: Must be ROHS3 Compliant

The E-Switch 100SP3T8B13M1QEH meets all critical substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the C&K 7103TZQES and E-Switch 100SP3T8B13M1QEH are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability: E-Switch 100SP3T8B13M1QEH currently has higher inventory (1731 pcs vs. 1076 pcs)
• Compliance Status: C&K 7103TZQES is REACH Affected; E-Switch 100SP3T8B13M1QEH is REACH Unaffected
• Terminal Design: C&K features satin chrome actuator; E-Switch features epoxy sealed terminals
• Actuator Length Variance: E-Switch actuator is 0.55mm longer (18.00mm vs. 17.45mm); verify panel clearance in mechanical design

Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.50.9065) classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E-Switch 100SP3T8B13M1QEH be used as a direct replacement for the C&K 7103TZQES?

A: Yes. Both parts meet identical electrical specifications (SPDT, 5A, 120V AC, 28V DC), operate across the same temperature range (-30°C to 85°C), and share identical panel cutout dimensions (11.91mm Dia) and bushing thread (15/32-32). The 0.55mm difference in actuator length requires verification of panel clearance in your mechanical assembly.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for substitution?

A: Critical parameters include SPDT circuit configuration, On-Off-On switching function, 5A current rating, 120V AC and 28V DC voltage support, panel mount configuration with 11.91mm circular cutout, 15/32-32 bushing thread, solder lug termination, and -30°C to 85°C operating range.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited). The C&K 7103TZQES is REACH Affected, while the E-Switch 100SP3T8B13M1QEH is REACH Unaffected. Verify REACH compliance requirements for your end application and geographic market.

Q: What is the difference in actuator design?

A: The C&K 7103TZQES features a satin chrome actuator (17.45mm length), while the E-Switch 100SP3T8B13M1QEH features epoxy sealed terminals with a slightly longer actuator (18.00mm). Both use brass with chrome plating as the base material.

Q: Do both parts have the same electrical life rating?

A: Yes. Both the C&K 7103TZQES and E-Switch 100SP3T8B13M1QEH are rated for 40,000 electrical cycles.
