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

Part Overview

The C&K 7201SCWZGE is a panel-mount toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This switch is designed for On-On applications with non-illuminated operation and features epoxy-sealed solder lug terminals. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when mechanical compatibility, electrical ratings, and functional circuit configuration align within acceptable operational parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 7201SCWZGE are grouped based on electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. The primary substitution logic is determined by:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Circuit configuration (DPDT required)
• Switch function (On-On required)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount required)
• Panel cutout dimensions (6.35mm circular required)
• Bushing thread (1/4-40 required)
• Termination style (Solder Lug required)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C required)

Electrical Rating Categories:

• Full-rated substitutes: 5A at 120V AC / 28V DC (direct electrical equivalents)
• Reduced-rating substitutes: 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC (lower power applications only)

Mechanical Variations:

• Actuator type differences (Standard Round vs. Flat Anti-Rotation) are permitted when all other parameters match
• Actuator length variations are permitted within the same electrical rating category

E-Switch 100 series parts meet all mechanical and functional requirements while offering alternative electrical ratings and actuator configurations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Full Electrical Rating Equivalents (5A @ 120V AC / 28V DC):

E-Switch 100DP1T4B1M1QEH and 100DP1T6B11M1QEH are direct electrical equivalents to the 7201SCWZGE. Both parts maintain identical voltage and current ratings, DPDT circuit configuration, and On-On switch function. Both are ROHS3 compliant and active products. The 100DP1T4B1M1QEH features a standard round actuator with 16.26mm length, while the 100DP1T6B11M1QEH provides a flat anti-rotation actuator at 12.30mm length. Selection between these two depends on actuator geometry requirements for the application. Note that E-Switch 100 series parts specify 40,000 electrical life cycles compared to 100,000 cycles for the C&K 7201SCWZGE.

Reduced Rating Substitutes (0.4VA @ 20V AC/DC):

E-Switch 100DP1T1B1M1REH and 100DP1T6B11M1REH are suitable only for applications requiring lower voltage and current ratings. These parts are restricted to 20V AC/DC and 0.4VA operation. Use these substitutes only when the application circuit operates within these reduced electrical parameters. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and active product status.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance. The original 7201SCWZGE is REACH affected, while E-Switch 100 series parts are REACH unaffected. The 7201SCWZGE provides IP67 ingress protection; E-Switch 100 series parts do not specify ingress protection ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E-Switch 100DP1T4B1M1QEH directly replace the C&K 7201SCWZGE?

A: Yes, for applications requiring 5A at 120V AC or 28V DC operation. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, DPDT circuit configuration, panel mount geometry (6.35mm cutout, 1/4-40 bushing), and solder lug termination. The primary difference is actuator length (16.26mm vs. 10.67mm) and electrical life rating (40,000 vs. 100,000 cycles). Verify panel space accommodates the longer actuator.

Q: What is the difference between the 100DP1T4B1M1QEH and 100DP1T6B11M1QEH?

A: Both parts have identical electrical ratings (5A @ 120V AC / 28V DC). The 100DP1T4B1M1QEH has a standard round actuator at 16.26mm length, while the 100DP1T6B11M1QEH has a flat anti-rotation actuator at 12.30mm length. Select based on actuator type and length requirements for your panel assembly.

Q: Can I use the 100DP1T1B1M1REH as a substitute?

A: Only if your application operates at 20V AC/DC or lower and requires 0.4VA or less. This part has reduced electrical ratings and is not suitable for circuits designed for 5A at 120V AC or 28V DC operation.

Q: What is the difference in electrical life between the C&K and E-Switch parts?

A: The C&K 7201SCWZGE is rated for 100,000 electrical cycles, while all E-Switch 100 series substitutes are rated for 40,000 cycles. For applications with high cycle count requirements, the C&K part provides extended operational life.

Q: Are there ingress protection differences I should consider?

A: The C&K 7201SCWZGE is rated IP67 (dust tight, waterproof). The E-Switch 100 series parts do not specify ingress protection ratings. If your application requires sealed operation in wet or dusty environments, verify E-Switch part suitability or retain the C&K original.

Q: Do all these parts use the same panel cutout and bushing?

A: Yes. All parts require a 6.35mm circular panel cutout and 1/4-40 bushing thread. Panel mechanical compatibility is maintained across all substitutes.
