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

Part Overview

The C&K 7201TPZBE is an active-status toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration, rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC. This panel-mount switch features an anti-rotation brass actuator with epoxy-sealed solder lug terminals, designed for applications requiring reliable switching in the -30°C to 85°C operating range. Finding equivalent or substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or application-specific performance needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the C&K 7201TPZBE is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration must be DPDT
• Switch function must be On-On
• Mounting type must be Panel Mount
• Panel cutout dimensions must be Circular - 11.91mm Dia
• Bushing thread must be 15/32-32
• Termination style must be Solder Lug
• Operating temperature range must encompass -30°C ~ 85°C
• RoHS3 compliance required

The E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH meets all structural and mechanical compatibility requirements. However, electrical performance parameters differ significantly, requiring application-level evaluation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH provides mechanical and electrical interface compatibility with the C&K 7201TPZBE for panel-mount DPDT toggle switch applications. Both components maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

Selection between these parts depends on application voltage and current requirements. The C&K 7201TPZBE is specified for 0.4VA at 20V with 100,000 electrical life cycles. The E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH provides higher voltage (120V AC / 28V DC) and current (5A) ratings with 40,000 electrical life cycles.

For applications operating within the C&K 7201TPZBE electrical specifications, the original part maintains superior cycle life. For applications requiring higher voltage or current capacity, the E-Switch substitute provides expanded electrical performance within the same mechanical footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH replace the C&K 7201TPZBE in all applications?

A: Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through identical panel cutout dimensions (11.91mm Dia), bushing thread (15/32-32), and termination style (Solder Lug). Electrical compatibility depends on application requirements. The E-Switch part supports higher voltage and current ratings but has lower electrical life (40,000 vs. 100,000 cycles).

Q: What are the key differences between these toggle switches?

A: The primary differences are electrical ratings and cycle life. The C&K 7201TPZBE is rated for 0.4VA at 20V with 100,000 cycles. The E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH is rated for 5A at 120V AC (28V DC) with 40,000 cycles. Both share identical mechanical specifications and operating temperature range.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both the C&K 7201TPZBE and E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the panel cutout requirement for installation?

A: Both parts require a circular panel cutout of 11.91mm diameter with a 15/32-32 bushing thread for secure panel mounting.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-cycle applications?

A: The C&K 7201TPZBE is specified for 100,000 electrical life cycles, compared to 40,000 cycles for the E-Switch substitute. For applications requiring extended cycle life within the 0.4VA / 20V specification, the C&K part is the appropriate selection.
