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

Part Overview

The C&K 7201TPZQI 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 an anti-rotation brass actuator with chrome plating and is designed for on-on switching applications. The component is potted with epoxy for environmental protection and operates across -30°C to 85°C. Finding equivalent or substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or specific application compatibility needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the C&K 7201TPZQI is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: DPDT
• Switch function: On-on
• Current rating: 5A (AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings: 120V AC and 28V DC minimum
• Mounting type: Panel mount
• Termination style: Solder lug
• Panel cutout dimensions: Circular 11.91mm diameter
• Bushing thread: 15/32-32
• Operating temperature range: -30°C to 85°C minimum
• RoHS3 compliance

The E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution in applications using the 7201TPZQI.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the C&K 7201TPZQI and E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings, making them suitable for equivalent selection based on regulatory and compliance requirements.

The C&K 7201TPZQI features an anti-rotation actuator design with 100,000 electrical life cycles. The E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH provides a standard round actuator with 40,000 electrical life cycles and is available in higher inventory quantities. The actuator length difference of 0.55mm (17.45mm versus 18.00mm) must be evaluated for panel clearance in the target application.

Selection between these parts should be based on electrical life cycle requirements, actuator type compatibility with the panel assembly, and inventory availability for the intended production schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Both parts share identical electrical ratings (5A at 120V AC/28V DC), circuit configuration (DPDT), and mechanical mounting specifications (11.91mm panel cutout, 15/32-32 bushing thread). The primary differences are actuator type (anti-rotation versus standard round) and actuator length (0.55mm variance). Panel clearance and actuator engagement requirements must be verified for the specific application.

Q: What is the significance of the electrical life cycle difference?

A: The C&K 7201TPZQI is rated for 100,000 cycles while the E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH is rated for 40,000 cycles. Applications requiring frequent switching operations should prioritize the higher cycle rating. For applications with infrequent switching, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both the C&K 7201TPZQI and E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1), suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

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

Q: How do the actuator designs differ?

A: The C&K 7201TPZQI features an anti-rotation brass actuator with chrome plating, preventing unintended rotation during installation. The E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH uses a standard round brass actuator with chrome plating. The anti-rotation feature may be critical for applications where panel vibration or accidental actuation is a concern.
