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

Part Overview

The C&K 7201TPZQE is an active-status toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration, rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This panel-mount switch features an anti-rotation brass actuator with epoxy-sealed solder lug terminals, designed for applications requiring reliable on-on switching functionality. The 7201TPZQE operates across -30°C to 85°C with 100,000 electrical cycles and maintains ROHS3 compliance. Equivalent parts are identified when they share identical electrical ratings, circuit configuration, mounting specifications, and termination style while maintaining compatible mechanical dimensions and environmental operating parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

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

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Panel mount configuration
• Solder lug termination style
• Panel cutout diameter of 11.91mm (circular)
• Bushing thread specification of 15/32-32
• Operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C or broader

Compliance Requirements:

• ROHS3 compliance status
• Epoxy sealed terminals

The E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria, with identical voltage ratings, current capacity, circuit configuration, mounting specifications, and environmental operating range. Minor variations in actuator design (standard round versus anti-rotation) and electrical life cycles do not affect functional substitutability in applications where the specified electrical and mechanical parameters are the primary selection criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the C&K 7201TPZQE and E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH are active-status products with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements:

The C&K 7201TPZQE provides 100,000 electrical cycles and anti-rotation actuator design, suitable for applications requiring extended operational life and actuator stability.

The E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH provides 40,000 electrical cycles with standard round actuator geometry and is available in higher inventory quantities (6,776 units versus 769 units for the C&K part).

Both parts satisfy identical electrical load requirements, panel mounting specifications, and environmental operating conditions. The choice between them depends on cycle life requirements and actuator design preference for the specific application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (5A, 120V AC, 28V DC), circuit configuration (DPDT On-On), panel cutout dimensions (11.91mm circular), bushing thread (15/32-32), and operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C). Solder lug termination and epoxy-sealed terminal construction are identical. The 0.55mm difference in actuator length (18.00mm versus 17.45mm) and actuator type variation do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility in standard panel-mount applications.

Q: What is the difference in electrical life between these parts?

A: The C&K 7201TPZQE is rated for 100,000 electrical cycles, while the E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH is rated for 40,000 cycles. Applications requiring frequent switching operations should specify the C&K part to ensure adequate operational life margin.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the C&K 7201TPZQE and E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH are ROHS3 compliant with epoxy-sealed terminals.

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

A: The C&K 7201TPZQE features an anti-rotation brass actuator, while the E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH uses a standard round brass actuator. Anti-rotation design prevents unintended rotation of the actuator stem. For applications where actuator stability is critical, the C&K part is preferred. For standard on-on switching applications, both designs are functionally equivalent.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -30°C to 85°C and maintain their electrical specifications within this range.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The C&K 7201TPZQE is supplied in tray packaging, while the E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection should align with assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.
