Toggle Switch DPDT 7201P3DAQE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 7201P3DAQE is an active production toggle switch manufactured by C&K, featuring DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) circuitry with On-On switching function. This panel mount, right angle switch is rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC, with a non-illuminated flat anti-rotation actuator. The component is housed in a tray package and maintains an operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications align with the primary component's functional requirements, enabling direct replacement in applications where the original part becomes unavailable or inventory constraints necessitate alternative sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7201P3DAQE is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration: DPDT
• Switch function: On-On
• Mounting type: Panel Mount, Right Angle
• Panel cutout dimensions: Circular - 6.35mm Dia
• Bushing thread: 1/4-40
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Operating temperature range: -30°C to 85°C or broader

Electrical Performance Criteria:

• Current rating must meet or exceed 5A (AC/DC)
• Voltage rating - AC must meet or exceed 120V
• Voltage rating - DC must meet or exceed 28V

The substitute part 100DP1T3B1M6REH from E-Switch meets the mechanical and circuit configuration requirements but operates at reduced electrical ratings (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC). This part is classified as a substitute only in applications where the actual operating conditions do not exceed the substitute's electrical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 7201P3DAQE remains the primary component choice for applications requiring 5A switching capacity at 120V AC or 28V DC. Both the primary part and substitute are active production items with ROHS3 compliance and identical operating temperature specifications.

The 100DP1T3B1M6REH substitute is mechanically compatible and electrically suitable only for low-voltage, low-current applications not exceeding 0.4VA at 20V. Selection of the substitute requires confirmation that actual circuit operating conditions remain within its electrical ratings. The substitute exhibits reduced electrical life (40,000 cycles versus 100,000 cycles) and features a standard round actuator in place of the flat anti-rotation design.

Both components feature epoxy sealed terminals, PC pin termination, and identical panel mounting geometry (6.35mm circular cutout with 1/4-40 bushing thread), ensuring mechanical interchangeability in panel installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 100DP1T3B1M6REH directly replace the 7201P3DAQE in all applications?

A: No. The substitute part operates at significantly lower electrical ratings (0.4VA at 20V versus 5A at 120V AC/28V DC). Direct replacement is limited to applications where actual operating voltage and current remain within the substitute's specifications.

Q: What are the mechanical compatibility requirements?

A: Both parts share identical panel mounting specifications: circular 6.35mm diameter cutout, 1/4-40 bushing thread, and PC pin termination. Mechanical interchangeability is confirmed. The actuator length differs slightly (13.21mm versus 13.97mm), and the actuator type differs (flat anti-rotation versus standard round), which may affect panel clearance and user interface feel.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 7201P3DAQE and 100DP1T3B1M6REH are ROHS3 compliant components suitable for applications requiring RoHS certification.

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

A: The 7201P3DAQE is rated for 100,000 electrical cycles, while the 100DP1T3B1M6REH is rated for 40,000 cycles. Applications requiring extended switch life favor the primary component.

Q: How do packaging formats differ?

A: The 7201P3DAQE is supplied in tray packaging, while the 100DP1T3B1M6REH is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect component functionality or electrical performance.

Q: What REACH and ECCN classifications apply?

A: The 7201P3DAQE is REACH Affected with ECCN classification EAR99. The 100DP1T3B1M6REH is REACH Unaffected with identical ECCN classification EAR99. Regulatory requirements may influence sourcing decisions for specific end-use applications.
