C&K 7201SPCWZGE2 Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7201SPCWZGE2 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 features an anti-rotation actuator, solder lug termination, and IP67 ingress protection. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when mechanical mounting compatibility, electrical circuit topology, and operational ratings align within acceptable parameters for the application.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are grouped based on electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 7201SPCWZGE2. The primary substitution criteria are:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

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

Electrical Rating Compatibility: Substitutes are acceptable when current and voltage ratings meet or exceed the application requirements. The 7201SPCWZGE2 operates at 5A/120V AC and 5A/28V DC. Substitutes with lower electrical ratings (0.4VA/20V) are suitable only for applications with reduced power requirements.

Actuator Variations: Actuator type and length variations (anti-rotation vs. standard round, flat anti-rotation) do not prevent substitution provided panel cutout and bushing thread specifications remain identical.

Ingress Protection: The 7201SPCWZGE2 provides IP67 protection. Substitute parts without specified ingress protection ratings may be used in applications where environmental sealing is not required.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Full Electrical Rating Match (5A/120V AC, 5A/28V DC): The E-Switch 100DP1T4B1M1QEH and 100DP1T6B11M1QEH provide equivalent electrical performance to the 7201SPCWZGE2. Both parts maintain DPDT On-On configuration, identical panel mounting geometry, and ROHS3 compliance. The primary difference is actuator type and length; the 100DP1T6B11M1QEH features flat anti-rotation actuator geometry similar to the original part. Electrical life rating is reduced to 40,000 cycles compared to 100,000 cycles on the original.

Reduced Electrical Rating (0.4VA/20V AC/DC): The E-Switch 100DP1T1B1M1REH and 100DP1T6B11M1REH are suitable only for applications with maximum 0.4VA power handling and 20V maximum voltage. These parts maintain identical mechanical mounting specifications and ROHS3 compliance but are not interchangeable with the 7201SPCWZGE2 in high-power applications.

Compliance and Availability: All substitute parts are Active status and ROHS3 compliant. E-Switch substitutes are REACH Unaffected, while the original C&K part is REACH Affected. All parts share identical HTSUS classification (8536.50.9065) and EAR99 ECCN designation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E-Switch 100DP1T4B1M1QEH directly replace the C&K 7201SPCWZGE2?

A: Yes, for applications requiring 5A at 120V AC or 28V DC. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, DPDT circuit configuration, panel cutout dimensions (6.35mm circular), 1/4-40 bushing thread, and solder lug termination. The primary difference is actuator type (standard round vs. anti-rotation) and reduced electrical life (40,000 vs. 100,000 cycles).

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

A: Both E-Switch parts provide identical electrical ratings (5A/120V AC, 5A/28V DC) and mounting specifications. The 100DP1T6B11M1QEH features a flat anti-rotation actuator (12.30mm length) compared to the standard round actuator (16.26mm length) on the 100DP1T4B1M1QEH. The flat anti-rotation design more closely matches the original 7201SPCWZGE2 actuator geometry.

Q: Can I use the 100DP1T1B1M1REH or 100DP1T6B11M1REH as substitutes?

A: Only if your application operates at maximum 0.4VA power and 20V voltage. These parts are not suitable for applications requiring 5A at 120V AC or 28V DC. Mechanical mounting compatibility is maintained, but electrical performance is significantly reduced.

Q: Are there ingress protection differences between the original and substitutes?

A: Yes. The C&K 7201SPCWZGE2 provides IP67 (dust tight, waterproof) protection. The E-Switch substitute parts do not specify ingress protection ratings. Use substitutes only in applications where environmental sealing is not required.

Q: What is the impact of reduced electrical life on the E-Switch parts?

A: The E-Switch substitutes are rated for 40,000 electrical cycles compared to 100,000 cycles on the original C&K part. For applications with frequent switching operations, the original part provides extended service life. For moderate-duty applications, the reduced cycle rating is acceptable.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The C&K 7201SPCWZGE2 and all E-Switch substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant. However, the original C&K part is REACH Affected while E-Switch substitutes are REACH Unaffected. Verify REACH compliance requirements for your specific application and region.
