C&K 7201T2PZQI Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7201T2PZQI 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 is designed for applications requiring reliable on-on switching functionality. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical compatibility, and circuit configuration align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in system designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7201T2PZQI is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: DPDT only
• Switch function: On-On operation
• Current rating: 5A minimum (AC/DC)
• Voltage rating: 120V AC and 28V DC minimum
• Mounting type: Panel Mount
• Panel cutout dimensions: Circular 11.91mm diameter
• Bushing thread: 15/32-32
• Termination style: Solder Lug
• Operating temperature range: -30°C ~ 85°C minimum coverage
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria, enabling direct substitution in applications where the original part is specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the C&K 7201T2PZQI and E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and equivalent electrical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements:

The C&K 7201T2PZQI provides extended electrical life (100,000 cycles) and a shorter actuator length (15.49mm), suitable for applications requiring higher cycle durability or space-constrained panel installations.

The E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH offers a longer actuator length (18.00mm) with 40,000 electrical life cycles, appropriate for applications where extended actuator reach is beneficial and cycle requirements are within specification.

Both parts satisfy identical electrical and mechanical interface requirements, enabling direct substitution based on actuator geometry and cycle life considerations specific to the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH directly replace the C&K 7201T2PZQI in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (5A, 120V AC, 28V DC), circuit configuration (DPDT), mounting interface (panel mount with 11.91mm circular cutout and 15/32-32 bushing thread), and termination style (solder lug). The primary difference is actuator length and electrical life cycle rating.

Q: What is the significance of the actuator length difference?

A: The C&K part features a 15.49mm actuator, while the E-Switch part has an 18.00mm actuator. This difference affects panel clearance and operator reach. Verify panel thickness and surrounding component placement to ensure the longer actuator does not create interference in your specific installation.

Q: How do electrical life cycles affect component selection?

A: The C&K 7201T2PZQI is rated for 100,000 cycles, while the E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH is rated for 40,000 cycles. Select based on the expected number of switch actuations over the product lifetime. Applications with frequent switching should prioritize the higher cycle rating.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The C&K 7201T2PZQI is supplied in Tray packaging, while the E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH is supplied in Bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. The C&K part is REACH Affected, while the E-Switch part is REACH Unaffected. Verify REACH compliance requirements for your specific application and end market.
