C&K 7201SPCWCLES2 Toggle Switch DPDT — Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7201SPCWCLES2 is a panel-mount toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This part operates in the On-On switch function with anti-rotation actuator design and IP67 ingress protection. The 7201SPCWCLES2 is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing system support and new designs requiring functionally compatible alternatives.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7201SPCWCLES2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Electrical Parameters: Circuit configuration (DPDT), switch function (On-On), current rating (5A minimum), voltage ratings (120V AC minimum, 28V DC), and termination style (PC Pin).

Mechanical Parameters: Panel mount configuration, 1/4-40 bushing thread, and 6.35mm circular panel cutout diameter ensure physical compatibility with existing panel installations.

Environmental Parameters: Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C minimum), ingress protection (IP67 or equivalent), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) maintain functional reliability in specified environments.

Compliance Parameters: RoHS status and REACH classification are documented for regulatory traceability but do not restrict substitution eligibility when electrical and mechanical parameters align.

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: direct equivalents (same manufacturer, active status) and similar alternatives (different manufacturers, functionally compatible within specified parameter ranges).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent — 7201SPCWCRES2 (C&K): This part is the primary substitute for the obsolete 7201SPCWCLES2. It maintains identical electrical ratings (5A, 120V AC, 28V DC), mechanical configuration (panel mount, 1/4-40 bushing, 6.35mm cutout), and actuator dimensions (10.67mm anti-rotation). The 7201SPCWCRES2 is active in production with RoHS compliance and epoxy sealed terminals, providing direct functional replacement with improved regulatory status.

Similar Alternatives — Electroswitch A223 Series (A223M1CWCQ, A223P31DCQ, A223S1DCQ, A223S1YCG, A223S1YCQ): These parts provide functional substitution with higher current ratings (6A versus 5A) and elevated voltage ratings (125V AC versus 120V AC). All maintain DPDT On-On configuration, PC Pin termination, 1/4-40 bushing thread, and extended operating temperature range (-30°C to 90°C). Actuator types and lengths vary; A223S1 variants feature standard round actuators at 10.41mm length, while A223P31DCQ uses a flatted actuator at 11.38mm. These parts are RoHS compliant and active in production.

Similar Alternative — Grayhill 34ADP11B1M2QT: This part maintains core electrical parameters (5A, 125V AC, 28V DC) and mechanical compatibility (panel mount, 1/4-40 bushing, 6.35mm cutout). The standard round actuator measures 10.41mm. Electrical life is reduced to 40,000 cycles compared to the main part's 100,000 cycles. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed. Ingress protection rating is not specified.

Selection Basis: Active production status, RoHS compliance, and maintained electrical/mechanical parameters determine substitution eligibility. Electroswitch A223 variants and Grayhill 34ADP11B1M2QT offer higher current capacity suitable for applications requiring margin above 5A specification. The C&K 7201SPCWCRES2 provides direct replacement with identical performance envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7201SPCWCRES2 directly replace the obsolete 7201SPCWCLES2 without design modification?

A: Yes. The 7201SPCWCRES2 maintains identical electrical ratings (5A, 120V AC, 28V DC), DPDT On-On configuration, panel cutout dimensions (6.35mm circular), bushing thread (1/4-40), and actuator length (10.67mm). No circuit or mechanical redesign is required.

Q: What is the primary difference between the C&K 7201SPCWCRES2 and Electroswitch A223 series substitutes?

A: The 7201SPCWCRES2 matches the original part's 5A current rating and 120V AC voltage rating. Electroswitch A223 variants provide higher current capacity (6A) and voltage rating (125V AC), offering design margin for applications approaching the original specification limits. Actuator types differ: the 7201SPCWCRES2 retains anti-rotation design, while A223 variants use standard round or flatted actuators.

Q: Are Electroswitch A223 parts mechanically compatible with existing 7201SPCWCLES2 panel installations?

A: Mechanical compatibility depends on actuator type and length. A223S1 variants (standard round, 10.41mm) and A223P31DCQ (flatted, 11.38mm) differ from the original anti-rotation actuator at 10.67mm. Panel cutout dimensions are not specified for A223 parts. Physical fit must be confirmed before installation. The 1/4-40 bushing thread is common across all parts.

Q: Does the Grayhill 34ADP11B1M2QT provide equivalent electrical life to the original part?

A: No. The Grayhill part is rated for 40,000 electrical cycles compared to the original part's 100,000 cycles. This represents a 60% reduction in cycle life. Application duty cycle must be evaluated to determine acceptability.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The original 7201SPCWCLES2 is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts listed (7201SPCWCRES2, Electroswitch A223 series, and Grayhill 34ADP11B1M2QT) are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: What ingress protection rating do the substitute parts provide?

A: The 7201SPCWCRES2 maintains IP67 (dust tight, waterproof) rating identical to the original part. Electroswitch A223M1CWCQ specifies splash proof protection. Other Electroswitch A223 variants and the Grayhill part do not specify ingress protection ratings in provided data.
