C&K 7201P3DCBE Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7201P3DCBE is an active-status toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration, rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC. This panel-mount switch features a flat anti-rotation actuator and is designed for applications requiring reliable switching in the low-voltage range. Substitute parts are necessary to address supply chain variations, inventory availability, or specific application requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 7201P3DCBE are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must match or exceed the main part specifications:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration: DPDT
• Switch function: On-On
• Voltage rating: 20V AC/DC minimum
• Current rating: 0.4VA minimum
• Mounting type: Panel Mount
• Panel cutout dimensions: Circular 6.35mm Dia
• Bushing thread: 1/4-40
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Operating temperature range: -30°C ~ 85°C minimum

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant status
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS: 8536.50.9065

The substitute parts listed meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part in applications requiring the specified electrical ratings and physical form factor.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, qualifying them for direct substitution in applications matching the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

E-Switch 100DP1T6B15M2RE provides the closest electrical and mechanical match to the main part, with identical current and voltage ratings, matching panel cutout and bushing specifications, and equivalent operating temperature range. This part is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the 0.4VA/20V rating is required.

E-Switch 100DP1T1B1M2QEH exceeds the electrical specifications of the main part with 5A current rating and 120V AC rating, making it suitable for applications requiring higher electrical capacity while maintaining the same physical form factor and panel mount configuration.

TE Connectivity 2-1825138-4 matches the electrical specifications of the main part with 0.4VA/20V ratings and maintains mechanical compatibility. This part is suitable for applications where the specified electrical and physical parameters are required.

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification, consistent with the main part's regulatory status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can E-Switch 100DP1T1B1M2QEH be used as a direct replacement for the C&K 7201P3DCBE?

A: E-Switch 100DP1T1B1M2QEH is mechanically compatible and shares the same DPDT On-On configuration and panel mount specifications. However, it is rated for 5A/120V AC, which exceeds the main part's 0.4VA/20V rating. This part is suitable for applications where higher electrical capacity is acceptable or required.

Q: What are the key differences between the substitute parts?

A: E-Switch 100DP1T6B15M2RE and TE Connectivity 2-1825138-4 both match the main part's 0.4VA/20V electrical rating. The primary differences are actuator type (flat anti-rotation versus standard round) and electrical life cycles (40,000 versus 6,000 cycles). E-Switch 100DP1T1B1M2QEH provides higher electrical ratings (5A/120V AC).

Q: Are all substitute parts panel-mount compatible with the same cutout dimensions?

A: Yes. All substitute parts feature a circular 6.35mm diameter panel cutout with 1/4-40 bushing thread, ensuring mechanical compatibility with the main part's panel mount configuration.

Q: Do all parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: All listed parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. The main part and E-Switch substitutes are REACH Affected or Unaffected as specified. TE Connectivity 2-1825138-4 is REACH Affected. All parts maintain the same HTSUS classification (8536.50.9065).

Q: What is the significance of electrical life cycle ratings?

A: Electrical life cycles indicate the number of switching operations a part is rated to perform. The main part is rated for 100,000 cycles, while E-Switch substitutes are rated for 40,000 cycles and TE Connectivity for 6,000 cycles. Selection should account for the application's switching frequency requirements.

Q: Can actuator type differences affect panel mount installation?

A: Actuator type (flat anti-rotation versus standard round) does not affect panel mount installation, as all parts share identical panel cutout dimensions and bushing thread specifications. Actuator type selection depends on application-specific handling and anti-rotation requirements.
