7201SPYCGE Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 7201SPYCGE is an active production toggle switch manufactured by C&K, featuring DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) circuitry with On-On switching function. This panel-mount switch is rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC, with anti-rotation actuator design and epoxy sealed terminals. The part is ROHS3 compliant and maintains an electrical life rating of 100,000 cycles. Substitute parts are identified for applications requiring equivalent DPDT panel-mount toggle switch functionality with compatible mechanical and electrical parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 7201SPYCGE are grouped based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. All substitute candidates maintain the following core parameters: DPDT circuit configuration, On-On switch function, panel-mount installation, circular 6.35mm panel cutout, 1/4-40 bushing thread, PC pin termination, epoxy sealed terminals, and operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C. All parts are ROHS3 compliant and active in production status.

Substitutes are differentiated by electrical ratings and actuator specifications. The 100DP1T1B1M2QEH (E-Switch) maintains full electrical equivalence with 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC ratings. The 100DP1T6B15M2RE (E-Switch) and 2-1825138-4 (TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH) operate at reduced electrical ratings of 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC, suitable for lower-power applications. Actuator type and length variations exist across substitutes but do not affect functional interchangeability within their respective electrical rating categories.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring full electrical equivalence to the 7201SPYCGE at 5A and 120V AC ratings, the 100DP1T1B1M2QEH from E-Switch provides direct substitution. This part maintains identical electrical specifications, ROHS3 compliance, and active production status. The E-Switch part is available in bulk packaging with higher inventory levels (8013 pcs).

For applications operating at reduced power levels not exceeding 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC, either the 100DP1T6B15M2RE (E-Switch) or 2-1825138-4 (TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH) may be selected. Both parts maintain mechanical compatibility through identical panel cutout dimensions, bushing thread specifications, and termination style. The 100DP1T6B15M2RE features flat anti-rotation actuator design, while the 2-1825138-4 uses standard round actuator configuration. Both are ROHS3 compliant and active in production.

Selection between substitute parts should be based on electrical load requirements and available inventory. Parts with reduced electrical ratings (0.4VA at 20V) are not suitable for applications requiring the full 5A at 120V capability of the original 7201SPYCGE.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 100DP1T1B1M2QEH directly replace the 7201SPYCGE in all applications?

A: Yes, the 100DP1T1B1M2QEH maintains identical electrical ratings (5A at 120V AC and 28V DC), circuit configuration (DPDT), switch function (On-On), and mechanical specifications (panel cutout, bushing thread, termination style). Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and active in production.

Q: What is the difference between the E-Switch 100DP1T1B1M2QEH and the lower-rated E-Switch 100DP1T6B15M2RE?

A: The 100DP1T1B1M2QEH is rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC, matching the original 7201SPYCGE. The 100DP1T6B15M2RE is rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC and features a flat anti-rotation actuator with longer actuator length (12.30mm vs 10.41mm). The lower-rated part is suitable only for reduced-power applications.

Q: Are the TE Connectivity 2-1825138-4 and E-Switch 100DP1T6B15M2RE interchangeable?

A: Both parts share identical electrical ratings (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC), circuit configuration (DPDT), and mechanical specifications (panel cutout, bushing thread, termination style). They differ in actuator type and electrical life rating (6,000 cycles for TE Connectivity vs 40,000 cycles for E-Switch). Selection depends on application power requirements and cycle life expectations.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: The 7201SPYCGE is supplied in tray packaging. The 100DP1T1B1M2QEH and 100DP1T6B15M2RE from E-Switch are available in bulk packaging. The 2-1825138-4 from TE Connectivity is also available in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts (100DP1T1B1M2QEH, 100DP1T6B15M2RE, and 2-1825138-4) are ROHS3 compliant and active in production status, matching the compliance profile of the original 7201SPYCGE.
