7201TPZGI Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 7201TPZGI is an active production toggle switch manufactured by C&K, classified as a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) panel mount switch rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This switch features an anti-rotation brass actuator with chrome plating, epoxy potting for environmental protection, and solder lug termination. The component is designed for applications requiring reliable on-on switching functionality with a circular 11.91mm panel cutout and 15/32-32 bushing thread configuration. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical mounting specifications, and circuit configurations are maintained across alternative manufacturers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7201TPZGI is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence: Current rating of 5A AC/DC, voltage ratings of 120V AC and 28V DC, and DPDT circuit configuration with on-on switching function must be maintained.

Mechanical Equivalence: Panel mount configuration with circular 11.91mm panel cutout diameter and 15/32-32 bushing thread ensures physical interchangeability without panel modification.

Termination Equivalence: Solder lug termination style must be preserved for direct PCB or harness integration.

Environmental Equivalence: Operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C and RoHS3 compliance status must be matched or exceeded.

The substitute part 100DP1T8B13M1QEH from E-Switch meets all electrical, mechanical, and environmental criteria for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 7201TPZGI and 100DP1T8B13M1QEH are active production components with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment for current and future applications. The primary distinction between these parts is electrical life rating: the 7201TPZGI provides 100,000 cycles while the 100DP1T8B13M1QEH provides 40,000 cycles. Selection should be based on application duty cycle requirements. The 100DP1T8B13M1QEH features a marginally longer actuator (18.00mm versus 17.45mm), which may affect tactile feedback characteristics but does not impact electrical or mechanical interchangeability. Both components maintain identical electrical ratings, panel cutout specifications, and termination methods, confirming direct substitution capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 100DP1T8B13M1QEH directly replace the 7201TPZGI without panel modification?

A: Yes. Both switches share identical panel cutout dimensions (11.91mm circular) and bushing thread specifications (15/32-32), enabling direct mechanical substitution without panel rework.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these two switches?

A: Yes. Both switches are rated for 5A AC/DC, 120V AC, and 28V DC with DPDT on-on configuration. Electrical interchangeability is confirmed.

Q: What is the significance of the different electrical life ratings?

A: The 7201TPZGI is rated for 100,000 cycles while the 100DP1T8B13M1QEH is rated for 40,000 cycles. Applications with high switching frequency should prioritize the higher-rated component to ensure design margin.

Q: Do both switches meet current compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and active production parts, confirming regulatory compliance for current applications.

Q: Is the actuator length difference significant for substitution?

A: The actuator length difference (17.45mm versus 18.00mm) is 0.55mm. This minor variation does not affect mechanical interchangeability or electrical performance but may produce slight differences in tactile feedback and actuation force profile.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The 7201TPZGI is supplied in tray packaging while the 100DP1T8B13M1QEH is supplied in bulk packaging. This affects handling and storage but does not impact component functionality or interchangeability.
