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

Part Overview

The C&K 7201SPCWCBE is an active-status toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration, rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC. This panel-mount switch features IP67 ingress protection, epoxy sealed terminals, and anti-rotation actuator design. Substitute parts are identified to provide equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for applications requiring DPDT toggle switching functionality with matching voltage and current specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are grouped based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. The primary substitution parameters are:

• Circuit configuration: DPDT
• Switch function: On-On
• Current rating: 0.4VA (AC/DC)
• Voltage rating: 20V AC and 20V DC
• Mounting type: Panel Mount
• Panel cutout dimensions: Circular 6.35mm Dia
• Bushing thread: 1/4-40
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Operating temperature: -30°C ~ 85°C

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct electrical and mechanical equivalents. Parts with differing current ratings or voltage specifications are identified separately due to application-specific limitations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Electrical Equivalents (0.4VA, 20V AC/DC):

The parts 100AWDP1T1B1M2REH, 100DP1T6B15M2RE, and 2-1825138-4 meet the core electrical specifications of the 7201SPCWCBE. All are ROHS3 compliant and active-status products. Selection among these three depends on mechanical considerations:

• 100AWDP1T1B1M2REH: Matches electrical specifications with IP67 ingress protection rating. Electrical life of 30,000 cycles is lower than the main part.
• 100DP1T6B15M2RE: Matches electrical specifications. Actuator length is 12.30mm versus 10.67mm on the main part. Electrical life of 40,000 cycles.
• 2-1825138-4: Matches electrical specifications. Electrical life of 6,000 cycles is significantly lower than the main part. REACH Affected status differs from main part.

Higher-Rated Alternative (5A, 120V AC/28V DC):

The part 100DP1T1B1M2QEH provides higher current and voltage ratings (5A, 120V AC/28V DC) with identical mechanical mounting characteristics. This part is suitable only for applications requiring higher electrical capacity and is not a direct substitute for 0.4VA, 20V applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 100AWDP1T1B1M2REH be used as a direct replacement for 7201SPCWCBE?

A: Yes, for electrical specifications. Both are DPDT On-On switches rated 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC with identical panel mounting dimensions (6.35mm circular cutout, 1/4-40 thread) and PC pin termination. The 100AWDP1T1B1M2REH maintains IP67 ingress protection. Electrical life differs: 30,000 cycles versus 100,000 cycles on the main part.

Q: What is the difference between 100DP1T6B15M2RE and 100AWDP1T1B1M2REH?

A: Both meet the 0.4VA, 20V electrical specifications and panel mounting requirements. The primary differences are actuator type (Flat Anti-Rotation versus Standard Round) and actuator length (12.30mm versus 10.41mm). The 100DP1T6B15M2RE has no specified ingress protection rating, while 100AWDP1T1B1M2REH maintains IP67.

Q: Is 100DP1T1B1M2QEH compatible with 7201SPCWCBE applications?

A: No. The 100DP1T1B1M2QEH is rated for 5A at 120V AC/28V DC, which exceeds the 0.4VA, 20V specification of the 7201SPCWCBE. This part is suitable only for higher-power applications and will not function as a direct substitute in circuits designed for 0.4VA operation.

Q: Why does 2-1825138-4 have lower electrical life than other substitutes?

A: The 2-1825138-4 is rated for 6,000 electrical cycles compared to 30,000-100,000 cycles on other parts. This specification difference reflects the design characteristics of the TE Connectivity Gemini A series and must be considered for applications requiring extended switch life.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (100AWDP1T1B1M2REH, 100DP1T6B15M2RE, 2-1825138-4, and 100DP1T1B1M2QEH) are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the main part 7201SPCWCBE.

Q: What packaging formats are available for substitute parts?

A: The main part 7201SPCWCBE is supplied in Tray packaging. Substitute parts are available in Bulk packaging: 100AWDP1T1B1M2REH (1904 pcs), 100DP1T6B15M2RE (830 pcs), 2-1825138-4 (1751 pcs), and 100DP1T1B1M2QEH (8013 pcs).
