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

Part Overview

The C&K 7201SPCWCQE is an active production toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This panel-mount switch features anti-rotation actuator design, PC pin termination, and IP67 ingress protection with epoxy sealed terminals. The 7201SPCWCQE is suitable for applications requiring robust switching in industrial and commercial environments with demanding environmental conditions.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or when design requirements permit operation at reduced electrical ratings or environmental specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The 7201SPCWCQE operates at 5A/120V AC, which establishes the primary electrical threshold for direct substitution.

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

• E-Switch 100DP1T1B1M2QEH matches the 5A/120V AC rating, DPDT configuration, panel mount geometry, and operating temperature range. This part qualifies as a direct electrical equivalent despite differences in actuator type and electrical life cycle.

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

• E-Switch 100DP1T6B15M2RE and TE Connectivity 2-1825138-4 operate at 0.4VA/20V AC, representing a significant reduction in electrical capacity. These parts share identical mechanical mounting parameters (panel cutout, bushing thread, PC pin termination) and DPDT configuration but are suitable only for applications where the lower electrical ratings are acceptable.

All substitute parts maintain DPDT circuit configuration, panel mount installation, PC pin termination, and circular 6.35mm panel cutout dimensions. Operating temperature range remains consistent across all candidates at -30°C to 85°C.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

E-Switch 100DP1T1B1M2QEH is the primary substitute candidate for the C&K 7201SPCWCQE. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (5A/120V AC, 28V DC), DPDT configuration, and mechanical mounting specifications. Both are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance. Selection of this substitute introduces no electrical derating and maintains full functional equivalence within the specified operating parameters.

E-Switch 100DP1T6B15M2RE and TE Connectivity 2-1825138-4 are secondary substitutes applicable only to applications where electrical requirements do not exceed 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC. These parts share mechanical compatibility and DPDT configuration but represent significant electrical derating. Both maintain active production status and ROHS3 compliance. The TE Connectivity part operates at reduced electrical life (6,000 cycles versus 100,000 cycles for the primary part).

All substitute parts are active production components with established supply availability and regulatory compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E-Switch 100DP1T1B1M2QEH directly replace the C&K 7201SPCWCQE in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (5A/120V AC, 28V DC), DPDT configuration, panel mount geometry with 6.35mm circular cutout, 1/4-40 bushing thread, and PC pin termination. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What are the limitations of using E-Switch 100DP1T6B15M2RE or TE Connectivity 2-1825138-4 as substitutes?

A: These parts operate at reduced electrical ratings (0.4VA/20V AC/DC) compared to the primary part (5A/120V AC/DC). They are suitable only for low-power switching applications. The TE Connectivity part also has reduced electrical life (6,000 cycles versus 100,000 cycles). Mechanical mounting remains compatible.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The C&K 7201SPCWCQE and all listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the difference between the two E-Switch 100 series parts?

A: The 100DP1T1B1M2QEH maintains the full 5A/120V AC electrical rating of the original part. The 100DP1T6B15M2RE operates at reduced ratings (0.4VA/20V AC) and features a flat anti-rotation actuator with longer actuator length (12.30mm versus 10.41mm).

Q: Do all parts use the same termination style?

A: Yes. All parts use PC pin termination, ensuring compatibility with existing PCB layouts and connector interfaces.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for all parts?

A: All parts operate across the identical temperature range of -30°C to 85°C.
