C&K 7201MYAME Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7201MYAME is a panel-mount toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The switch features a standard round actuator with PC pin termination and epoxy sealed terminals suitable for industrial control applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 7201MYAME are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Circuit configuration (DPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Right Angle)
• Actuator type and length (Standard Round, 5.08mm)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Bushing thread specification (1/4-40)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 6.35mm Dia)

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Current rating: Equal to or greater than 5A
• Voltage rating (AC): Equal to or greater than 120V
• Voltage rating (DC): Equal to or greater than 28V
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass or exceed -30°C ~ 85°C
• Electrical life: Equal to or greater than 100,000 cycles

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: direct manufacturer equivalents from C&K and cross-manufacturer alternatives that meet all mechanical and electrical requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

C&K 7201MYASE (Direct Equivalent - Recommended Primary Substitute)

The 7201MYASE is the preferred substitute for the obsolete 7201MYAME. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including current rating, voltage ratings, mounting configuration, and actuator dimensions. The 7201MYASE maintains active product status with current manufacturing support. The primary distinction is RoHS compliance status: the 7201MYASE is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. This substitution is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is required or preferred.

Electroswitch A223M1DAQ (Cross-Manufacturer Alternative)

The A223M1DAQ provides a cross-manufacturer alternative meeting all mechanical compatibility requirements. This part exceeds the original specifications in current rating (6A versus 5A) and AC voltage rating (125V versus 120V), while maintaining identical DC voltage rating and actuator geometry. The operating temperature range extends to 90°C, exceeding the original specification. However, the electrical life rating of 60,000 cycles is below the original 100,000 cycles specification. This part is RoHS Compliant. Selection of this alternative is appropriate when higher current capacity is beneficial and the reduced electrical life cycle is acceptable for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7201MYASE directly replace the 7201MYAME without circuit modifications?

A: Yes. The 7201MYASE maintains identical electrical ratings (5A, 120V AC, 28V DC), circuit configuration (DPDT), and mechanical mounting specifications. No circuit modifications are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference between 7201MYAME and 7201MYASE?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the absence of restricted hazardous substances in the component. The 7201MYASE RoHS Compliant status makes it suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations. The original 7201MYAME, being RoHS non-compliant, may not meet regulatory requirements for new designs in certain jurisdictions.

Q: Is the Electroswitch A223M1DAQ suitable as a substitute if the application requires 100,000 electrical cycles?

A: The A223M1DAQ is rated for 60,000 electrical cycles, which is below the original 100,000-cycle specification. If the application requires 100,000 cycles, the C&K 7201MYASE is the appropriate choice. The A223M1DAQ is suitable only for applications with electrical life requirements of 60,000 cycles or fewer.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns when substituting with the A223M1DAQ?

A: No mechanical compatibility issues exist. The A223M1DAQ shares identical mounting type, actuator type, actuator length (5.08mm), termination style (PC Pin), and bushing thread specification (1/4-40) with the original part. Panel cutout dimensions for the A223M1DAQ are not specified in available data; however, the standard 1/4-40 bushing thread and circular mounting configuration indicate compatibility with the original 6.35mm diameter panel cutout.

Q: What is the inventory status for substitute parts?

A: The C&K 7201MYASE has 1,180 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The Electroswitch A223M1DAQ has 1,023 pieces in stock as new original inventory in bulk packaging.
