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

Part Overview

The C&K 7201TZBES is an active production toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration, rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC. This panel-mount switch features a satin chrome actuator and solder lug termination, designed for applications requiring reliable switching in compact form factors. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when inventory constraints require component alternatives that maintain functional compatibility within specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

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

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Current rating: Substitute must equal or exceed 0.4VA
• Voltage rating (AC): Substitute must equal or exceed 20V
• Voltage rating (DC): Substitute must equal or exceed 20V
• Actuator length: Minor variations acceptable within mechanical constraints
• Electrical life cycles: Substitute must equal or exceed 100,000 cycles

The E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH qualifies as a substitute based on matching all mandatory parameters and exceeding allowable variation thresholds (5A current rating, 120V AC / 28V DC voltage ratings, 40,000 electrical life cycles).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the C&K 7201TZBES and E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH are active production components with ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific electrical requirements and supply chain availability.

The C&K 7201TZBES is suitable for applications with voltage and current requirements not exceeding 20V and 0.4VA respectively, with a specified electrical life of 100,000 cycles.

The E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH provides higher electrical ratings (120V AC, 28V DC, 5A) and is suitable for applications requiring greater voltage and current capacity. The electrical life specification of 40,000 cycles is lower than the primary part; applications requiring extended cycle life should account for this difference.

Both components maintain identical mechanical compatibility (panel cutout, bushing thread, termination style) and operating temperature range, ensuring direct physical and electrical substitution within the specified parameter boundaries.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Direct substitution is mechanically and electrically feasible for applications operating within the C&K 7201TZBES electrical specifications (20V AC/DC, 0.4VA). The E-Switch part exceeds these ratings and maintains identical mechanical interface parameters. However, applications requiring the full 100,000-cycle electrical life of the C&K part should note that the E-Switch substitute specifies 40,000 cycles.

Q: What are the critical mechanical compatibility factors?

A: Both parts share identical panel cutout dimensions (11.91mm circular), bushing thread (15/32-32), and termination style (solder lug). The actuator length difference (17.45mm vs 18.00mm) is minor and does not affect panel mounting compatibility. Both operate across -30°C to 85°C.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and active production components. The C&K 7201TZBES is REACH Affected; the E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH is REACH Unaffected. Applications subject to REACH regulations should verify compliance requirements with their procurement or regulatory team.

Q: What packaging differences exist?

A: The C&K 7201TZBES is supplied in Tray packaging with 866 pieces in stock. The E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH is supplied in Bulk packaging with 6776 pieces in stock. Packaging selection should align with assembly and inventory management requirements.

Q: Can the E-Switch part be used in higher voltage or current applications?

A: The E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH is rated for 120V AC and 28V DC at 5A, exceeding the C&K 7201TZBES specifications. Applications requiring these higher ratings can utilize the E-Switch part within its specified electrical envelope.
