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

Part Overview

The C&K 7201SCWZGI 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 a standard round actuator and solder lug termination. The part is currently active in production with 847 units in stock. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when mechanical compatibility, electrical ratings, and functional circuit configuration align within acceptable parameters for the application.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 7201SCWZGI are identified based on the following critical parameters that must align for functional equivalence:

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Panel cutout diameter: 6.35mm (Circular)
• Bushing thread: 1/4-40
• Mounting type: Panel Mount
• Termination style: Solder Lug
• Operating temperature range: -30°C to 85°C

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Circuit configuration: DPDT
• Switch function: On-On
• Current rating: 5A (AC/DC) or lower
• Voltage rating - AC: 120V or higher
• Voltage rating - DC: 28V or higher

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS: 8536.50.9065

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on electrical ratings: full-rated equivalents (5A/120V) and reduced-rating alternatives (0.4VA/20V). Full-rated equivalents maintain identical electrical performance. Reduced-rating alternatives are suitable only for applications with lower power requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Full-Rated Equivalents (5A/120V AC, 28V DC):

The E-Switch 100DP1T4B1M1QEH and 100DP1T6B11M1QEH are direct electrical equivalents to the 7201SCWZGI. Both maintain identical current and voltage ratings, DPDT circuit configuration, and On-On switch function. Both are ROHS3 compliant and carry active product status. The primary differences are actuator type and length: 100DP1T4B1M1QEH features a standard round actuator at 16.26mm, while 100DP1T6B11M1QEH features a flat anti-rotation actuator at 12.30mm. Selection between these depends on actuator geometry requirements for the specific panel application.

Reduced-Rating Alternatives (0.4VA/20V AC/DC):

The E-Switch 100DP1T1B1M1REH and 100DP1T6B11M1REH are suitable only for applications with maximum ratings of 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC. These parts maintain mechanical compatibility and DPDT circuit configuration but operate at significantly lower electrical ratings. These alternatives are appropriate only when application power requirements do not exceed the reduced ratings.

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry active product status, and share the same panel cutout diameter (6.35mm), bushing thread (1/4-40), and solder lug termination. The 7201SCWZGI provides IP67 ingress protection, which is not specified for E-Switch alternatives; applications requiring IP67 protection must retain the original C&K part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes, for applications requiring 5A at 120V AC or 28V DC. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, DPDT circuit configuration, panel cutout diameter (6.35mm), bushing thread (1/4-40), and solder lug termination. The primary difference is actuator length: 100DP1T4B1M1QEH is 16.26mm versus 7201SCWZGI at 10.67mm. Verify actuator length compatibility with your panel design before substitution.

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

A: Both are E-Switch DPDT toggle switches rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. The primary difference is actuator type and length: 100DP1T4B1M1QEH has a standard round actuator at 16.26mm, while 100DP1T6B11M1QEH has a flat anti-rotation actuator at 12.30mm. Select based on your panel's actuator geometry requirements.

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

A: Only if your application operates at maximum 0.4VA and 20V AC/DC. This part is not suitable for applications requiring 5A at 120V AC or 28V DC. Verify your circuit's actual power requirements before selecting this reduced-rating alternative.

Q: Does the E-Switch 100 series provide the same IP67 protection as the C&K 7201SCWZGI?

A: No. The C&K 7201SCWZGI is rated IP67 (dust tight, waterproof). The E-Switch 100 series alternatives do not specify ingress protection ratings. If IP67 protection is required for your application, the original C&K part must be used.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The C&K 7201SCWZGI and all E-Switch 100 series alternatives listed are ROHS3 compliant and carry active product status.

Q: What is the difference in electrical life between the main part and substitutes?

A: The C&K 7201SCWZGI is rated for 100,000 electrical cycles. All E-Switch 100 series alternatives are rated for 40,000 electrical cycles. For applications requiring extended cycle life, the original C&K part provides superior durability.
