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

Part Overview

The C&K 7201SCWCGI is a panel-mount toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This switch is designed for applications requiring reliable on-on switching with IP67 ingress protection and epoxy potting. The part is currently active in production with 672 units in stock.

Substitute parts may be required due to supply chain constraints, lead time considerations, or specific application requirements that align with alternative electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by matching the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Circuit configuration (DPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• 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 to 85°C)

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Current rating must meet or exceed application requirements
• Voltage ratings (AC and DC) must meet or exceed application requirements

The substitute parts listed have been identified based on matching these core mechanical and electrical parameters. Variations in actuator length, actuator material finish, electrical life cycles, and ingress protection rating represent acceptable design differences within the DPDT panel-mount toggle switch category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Full Electrical Compatibility):

The E-Switch 100DP1T1B1M2QEH is a direct equivalent to the C&K 7201SCWCGI. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (5A at 120V AC / 28V DC), matching mechanical interfaces, and active product status. Both are ROHS3 compliant. This substitute provides the highest level of compatibility for applications requiring the full 5A current capacity and 120V AC voltage rating.

Reduced-Rating Substitutes (Lower Electrical Specifications):

The E-Switch 100DP1T6B15M2RE and TE Connectivity 2-1825138-4 are suitable only for applications with reduced electrical requirements (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC). These parts maintain identical mechanical compatibility and panel-mount interfaces but operate at lower current and voltage ratings. Selection of these substitutes is appropriate only when application requirements do not exceed 0.4VA and 20V specifications.

All substitute parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring continued availability and regulatory alignment with the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E-Switch 100DP1T1B1M2QEH replace the C&K 7201SCWCGI in any application?

A: Yes, the E-Switch 100DP1T1B1M2QEH is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both parts are rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC, share identical panel cutout dimensions (6.35mm circular), bushing thread (1/4-40), and PC pin termination. Both operate across the same temperature range (-30°C to 85°C) and are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: When should I use the E-Switch 100DP1T6B15M2RE or TE Connectivity 2-1825138-4?

A: These parts are suitable only for applications with electrical requirements of 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC or lower. Do not use these substitutes in applications requiring the full 5A capacity or 120V AC rating of the original C&K part. Verify application voltage and current requirements before selection.

Q: Are all substitute parts panel-mount compatible with the original design?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes share the same panel cutout dimensions (circular 6.35mm diameter) and bushing thread specification (1/4-40), ensuring mechanical compatibility with existing panel installations designed for the C&K 7201SCWCGI.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging options?

A: The C&K 7201SCWCGI is supplied in Tray packaging, while all E-Switch and TE Connectivity substitutes are supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance; it reflects supplier inventory management practices.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The C&K 7201SCWCGI and all listed substitutes are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.
