Toggle Switch DPDT 7201MPD9AGE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 7201MPD9AGE is an active-status toggle switch manufactured by C&K, configured as a double-pole double-throw (DPDT) switch with On-On functionality. This through-hole, right-angle mounted component is rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC, with epoxy-sealed terminals and anti-rotation actuator design. The part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected. Finding equivalent and substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or packaging preferences while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7201MPD9AGE is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters: DPDT circuit configuration, On-On switch function, 5A current rating at both AC and DC, 120V AC and 28V DC voltage ratings, through-hole right-angle mounting, PC pin termination, non-illuminated design, unthreaded bushing, and epoxy-sealed terminals. The operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C must be maintained. Secondary parameters such as actuator type, actuator length, electrical life cycles, and packaging format may vary between the main part and substitutes without affecting functional compatibility in the application circuit.

The identified substitute part 100DP1T2B4M6QE from E-Switch meets all core electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 7201MPD9AGE and 100DP1T2B4M6QE are active-status components with ROHS3 compliance. The 7201MPD9AGE carries REACH-affected status, while the 100DP1T2B4M6QE is REACH unaffected. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements specific to the end application and geographic market. The 7201MPD9AGE features an anti-rotation actuator and longer actuator length (6.86mm) with extended electrical life (100,000 cycles), making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced mechanical stability and extended operational cycles. The 100DP1T2B4M6QE offers a standard round actuator with shorter actuator length (5.08mm) and reduced electrical life (40,000 cycles), appropriate for applications with less demanding cycle requirements and space constraints. Both parts are electrically and mechanically compatible for direct substitution in DPDT On-On switching applications at 5A, 120V AC, and 28V DC ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 100DP1T2B4M6QE directly replace the 7201MPD9AGE in my circuit?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: DPDT configuration, On-On function, 5A current rating, 120V AC and 28V DC voltage ratings, through-hole right-angle mounting, PC pin termination, and operating temperature range. The substitute part is electrically and mechanically compatible for direct board-level substitution.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are actuator design (anti-rotation versus standard round), actuator length (6.86mm versus 5.08mm), and electrical life rating (100,000 cycles versus 40,000 cycles). The 7201MPD9AGE also carries REACH-affected status while the 100DP1T2B4M6QE is REACH unaffected. These variations do not affect electrical compatibility but may impact mechanical fit and long-term reliability in high-cycle applications.

Q: Does the shorter actuator length of the 100DP1T2B4M6QE affect compatibility?

A: Actuator length is a secondary parameter that does not affect electrical compatibility. However, panel cutout dimensions and mechanical clearance must be verified for your specific enclosure design. If the application requires the longer actuator length of the 7201MPD9AGE for proper panel engagement, the substitute may not be suitable without mechanical redesign.

Q: Which part should I select for high-cycle applications?

A: The 7201MPD9AGE is rated for 100,000 electrical cycles compared to 40,000 cycles for the 100DP1T2B4M6QE. For applications exceeding 40,000 cycles, the 7201MPD9AGE is the appropriate selection to ensure reliable operation within rated specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 7201MPD9AGE is supplied in tray packaging, while the 100DP1T2B4M6QE is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance but may influence handling, storage, and procurement logistics.

Q: What is the significance of REACH compliance status?

A: REACH compliance indicates regulatory status under the European Union's Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals regulation. The 7201MPD9AGE is REACH affected, while the 100DP1T2B4M6QE is REACH unaffected. Selection depends on whether your end product is subject to REACH requirements based on geographic market and application classification.
