Toggle Switch DPDT 7201L2YAGE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7201L2YAGE is an active-status toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This panel-mount, right-angle switch features a standard round actuator with epoxy-sealed PC pin termination and operates across -30°C to 85°C. The part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align within the allowed specifications for this product category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7201L2YAGE is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration must be DPDT
• Switch function must be On-On
• Mounting type must be Panel Mount, Right Angle
• Actuator type must be Standard Round
• Actuator length must be 13.97mm
• Termination style must be PC Pin
• Panel cutout dimensions must be Circular - 6.35mm Dia
• Bushing thread must be 1/4-40
• Operating temperature range must be -30°C ~ 85°C
• Actuator material must be Brass, Chrome Plated
• Features must include Epoxy Sealed Terminals

The E-Switch 100DP1T3B1M6REH meets these mechanical and functional criteria. However, electrical ratings differ: the substitute is rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC, compared to the main part's 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This substitute is suitable only for applications with lower power requirements that fall within its electrical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 7201L2YAGE and 100DP1T3B1M6REH are active-status products with ROHS3 compliance. The 7201L2YAGE is REACH affected, while the 100DP1T3B1M6REH is REACH unaffected. Selection between these parts must be based on application electrical requirements. The 7201L2YAGE supports higher current (5A) and voltage (120V AC, 28V DC) ratings with extended electrical life (100,000 cycles). The 100DP1T3B1M6REH is limited to 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC with 40,000 electrical cycles. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications and operating temperature range, ensuring physical interchangeability in panel-mount applications. Compliance certifications and regulatory status must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E-Switch 100DP1T3B1M6REH replace the C&K 7201L2YAGE in all applications?

A: No. While both switches share identical mechanical specifications and mounting characteristics, the E-Switch substitute has significantly lower electrical ratings (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC versus 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC). Substitution is valid only for applications with electrical requirements that fall within the E-Switch part's specifications.

Q: Are the panel cutout dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts require a circular 6.35mm diameter cutout with 1/4-40 bushing thread, ensuring mechanical interchangeability in panel installations.

Q: What is the difference in electrical life between these switches?

A: The C&K 7201L2YAGE is rated for 100,000 electrical cycles, while the E-Switch 100DP1T3B1M6REH is rated for 40,000 cycles. Applications requiring extended operational life should use the C&K part.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. However, the C&K 7201L2YAGE is REACH affected, while the E-Switch 100DP1T3B1M6REH is REACH unaffected. Regulatory requirements for your application will determine which part is appropriate.

Q: Are the actuator specifications the same?

A: Yes. Both switches feature a standard round actuator, 13.97mm in length, with brass and chrome-plated material. Actuator feel and operation are mechanically equivalent.
