C&K 7201P3YWLE Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7201P3YWLE is a panel-mounted toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This switch features a flat anti-rotation actuator, wire wrap termination, and epoxy sealed terminals suitable for industrial control applications. The 7201P3YWLE is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7201P3YWLE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (DPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Current rating (5A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount)
• Actuator specifications (Flat Anti-Rotation, 11.43mm length)
• Termination style (Wire Wrap)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 6.35mm Dia)
• Bushing thread specification (1/4-40)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• Electrical life (100,000 Cycles)
• Base product number (7201P3)

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct equivalents and may be substituted without modification to mechanical or electrical interfaces.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C&K 7201P3YWRE serves as the direct equivalent for the obsolete 7201P3YWLE. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin and form-factor compatibility.

The 7201P3YWRE is classified as an active product, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain continuity. This part carries RoHS Compliant certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for new equipment designs and manufacturing processes. The REACH Affected status indicates compliance with European chemical safety regulations.

For applications requiring RoHS compliance or long-term component availability, the 7201P3YWRE is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems currently using the 7201P3YWLE, direct substitution is mechanically and electrically valid.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7201P3YWRE replace the 7201P3YWLE in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically identical across all specified parameters. Panel cutout dimensions, bushing thread, actuator geometry, and electrical ratings are equivalent, permitting direct substitution without modification to mounting hardware or wiring interfaces.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 7201P3YWLE is obsolete, while the 7201P3YWRE is active. The 7201P3YWRE carries RoHS Compliant certification and REACH Affected status, making it suitable for new designs and applications subject to environmental regulations.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with wire wrap termination?

A: No. Both parts use identical wire wrap termination style. Existing wire wrap connections and tooling are fully compatible with either part number.

Q: What is the panel cutout requirement for installation?

A: Both parts require a circular panel cutout of 6.35mm diameter with a 1/4-40 bushing thread. Panel preparation is identical for either part.

Q: Is the actuator geometry the same between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature a flat anti-rotation actuator with 11.43mm length. Actuator material (brass, chrome plated) and operational characteristics are identical.

Q: What electrical parameters must be verified before substitution?

A: Verify that your application operates within the specified ratings: 5A maximum current (AC or DC), 120V AC maximum, and 28V DC maximum. Both parts are rated for these parameters and are suitable for equivalent applications.
