Toggle Switch DPDT 7201P3H3AGE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 7201P3H3AGE is a panel mount toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration manufactured by C&K. This switch is rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC, featuring a flat anti-rotation actuator and epoxy sealed terminals. The product is currently active and available in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required due to inventory constraints, application requirements, or design flexibility within the allowed parameter ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 7201P3H3AGE are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Circuit Configuration: DPDT topology must be maintained
• Switch Function: On-On operation required
• Mounting Interface: Panel mount with right angle orientation and matching panel cutout dimensions (6.35mm circular) and bushing thread (1/4-40)
• Termination: PC pin termination for PCB compatibility
• Operating Temperature: -30°C to 85°C range
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance required

The substitute part 100DP1T3B1M6REH from E-Switch meets the core mechanical and electrical interface requirements. However, differences in current rating, voltage specifications, and electrical life cycle performance exist and must be evaluated for specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and active product status. The 7201P3H3AGE provides higher current capacity (5A versus 0.4VA) and higher voltage ratings (120V AC / 28V DC versus 20V AC/DC). The 100DP1T3B1M6REH offers lower electrical life expectancy (40,000 cycles versus 100,000 cycles). Selection between these parts depends on the specific current and voltage requirements of the application. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through matching panel cutout dimensions, bushing thread specifications, and termination style.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 100DP1T3B1M6REH replace the 7201P3H3AGE in all applications?

A: Mechanical and interface compatibility is confirmed. However, the 100DP1T3B1M6REH has lower current rating (0.4VA versus 5A) and lower voltage ratings (20V AC/DC versus 120V AC / 28V DC). Substitution is valid only for applications operating within the lower electrical specifications.

Q: Are the panel mounting dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts feature a circular panel cutout of 6.35mm diameter and 1/4-40 bushing thread, ensuring identical panel mount compatibility.

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

A: The 7201P3H3AGE is rated for 100,000 electrical cycles, while the 100DP1T3B1M6REH is rated for 40,000 cycles. Applications requiring extended cycle life should use the 7201P3H3AGE.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 7201P3H3AGE and 100DP1T3B1M6REH are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 7201P3H3AGE is supplied in tray packaging, while the 100DP1T3B1M6REH is supplied in bulk packaging.
