Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Circuit configuration must be DPDT
• Switch function must be On-On
• Current rating must be 5A (AC/DC)
• Voltage rating must be 120V AC minimum and 28V DC minimum

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting type must be Panel Mount
• Termination style must be Solder Lug
• Panel cutout dimensions must be Circular - 11.91mm Dia
• Bushing thread must be 15/32-32

Environmental & Compliance Requirements:

• Operating temperature range must encompass -30°C ~ 85°C
• RoHS3 compliance required

The substitute part 100DP1T8B13M1QEH from E-Switch meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, enabling direct functional substitution in applications requiring DPDT toggle switch performance at specified voltage and current ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 7201TPZGE and 100DP1T8B13M1QEH are active production components with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment for current manufacturing standards. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Primary Selection Criteria:

• The 7201TPZGE features an anti-rotation actuator design and 100,000 cycle electrical life rating, suitable for applications requiring extended operational durability and actuator stability.
• The 100DP1T8B13M1QEH provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance with a standard round actuator and 40,000 cycle electrical life rating, appropriate for general-purpose switching applications.

Mechanical Considerations:

• Actuator length difference of 0.55mm (17.45mm vs 18.00mm) may require panel design verification to ensure adequate clearance and proper actuator engagement.
• Actuator type difference (anti-rotation vs standard round) affects rotational stability; applications requiring fixed actuator orientation should prioritize the 7201TPZGE.

Compliance Status:

• Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for regulated manufacturing environments.
• The 7201TPZGE carries REACH Affected status; the 100DP1T8B13M1QEH is REACH Unaffected. Regulatory requirements specific to end-use applications should guide final selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 100DP1T8B13M1QEH directly replace the 7201TPZGE in existing designs?

A: Direct mechanical and electrical substitution is possible due to matching panel cutout dimensions, bushing thread specifications, and electrical ratings. However, the 0.55mm actuator length difference and anti-rotation vs. standard round actuator design require panel layout verification to ensure proper fit and functional performance.

Q: What is the significance of the electrical life rating difference (100,000 vs. 40,000 cycles)?

A: The 7201TPZGE's higher electrical life rating indicates extended operational durability under repeated switching cycles. Applications with high switching frequency or extended service life requirements should prioritize the 7201TPZGE. The 100DP1T8B13M1QEH is suitable for moderate-duty applications within its 40,000 cycle specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 7201TPZGE is supplied in Tray packaging, while the 100DP1T8B13M1QEH is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection affects inventory handling, component protection, and procurement logistics but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: How do the actuator type differences affect application suitability?

A: The 7201TPZGE's anti-rotation actuator prevents unintended rotational movement, providing fixed actuator orientation. The 100DP1T8B13M1QEH's standard round actuator allows free rotation. Applications requiring fixed actuator positioning should specify the 7201TPZGE; general-purpose applications can utilize either design.

Q: What compliance considerations apply to part selection?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. The 7201TPZGE is REACH Affected; the 100DP1T8B13M1QEH is REACH Unaffected. End-use applications subject to REACH regulations should verify compliance requirements with applicable regulatory frameworks before final part selection.
