C&K 7201T2PZGE Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7201T2PZGE is an active production toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This panel-mount switch features a flat anti-rotation actuator and epoxy sealed terminals, designed for reliable switching applications across industrial and commercial equipment. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to inventory constraints, specific packaging requirements, or design revision needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH qualifies as a functional equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Both parts are DPDT with On-On switching function
• Electrical Ratings: Identical current (5A AC/DC) and voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC)
• Mechanical Interface: Matching panel cutout diameter (11.91mm) and bushing thread (15/32-32)
• Termination: Both use solder lug termination
• Environmental Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating
• Operating Temperature: Identical range (-30°C to 85°C)

Substitution is valid where the specified electrical and mechanical parameters are the controlling factors for component selection.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the C&K 7201T2PZGE and E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications for panel mounting applications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Actuator Geometry: The C&K part features a flat anti-rotation actuator (15.49mm length), while the E-Switch part uses a standard round actuator (18.00mm length). Panel design and operator interface requirements determine which actuator type is appropriate.
• Electrical Life Rating: The C&K part is rated for 100,000 cycles versus 40,000 cycles for the E-Switch part. Applications requiring extended cycle life should specify the C&K component.
• Packaging and Availability: The C&K part is supplied in trays; the E-Switch part is supplied in bulk. Procurement and assembly processes may influence selection.
• Regulatory Status: The C&K part is REACH Affected; the E-Switch part is REACH Unaffected. Supply chain and regulatory requirements may necessitate one part over the other.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH directly replace the C&K 7201T2PZGE in existing designs?

A: Direct mechanical and electrical replacement is possible due to matching panel cutout diameter (11.91mm), bushing thread (15/32-32), and identical electrical ratings (5A, 120V AC, 28V DC). However, the difference in actuator length (15.49mm vs. 18.00mm) and actuator type (flat anti-rotation vs. standard round) must be evaluated against panel design constraints and operator interface requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are actuator geometry, electrical life rating (100,000 vs. 40,000 cycles), and regulatory status (REACH Affected vs. Unaffected). All electrical and mechanical interface parameters are identical.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same voltage and current applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC, with identical operating temperature ranges (-30°C to 85°C). They are electrically interchangeable for applications within these specifications.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The C&K 7201T2PZGE is supplied in trays (997 pcs available). The E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH is supplied in bulk (6776 pcs available). Packaging selection depends on assembly and procurement requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating and EAR99 ECCN classification. The C&K part is REACH Affected; the E-Switch part is REACH Unaffected. Compliance requirements for your specific application determine which part is appropriate.
