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.

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.
