C&K 7201TZGI Toggle Switch DPDT 5A 120V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7201TZGI 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 a standard round actuator with solder lug termination and is designed for applications requiring reliable on-on switching functionality. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical compatibility, and functional specifications align with the original component, enabling procurement flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the C&K 7201TZGI 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
• Actuator type must be Standard Round
• Panel cutout dimensions must be Circular - 11.91mm Dia
• Bushing thread must be 15/32-32
• Termination style must be Solder Lug

Environmental & Compliance Requirements:

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

The E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH meets all mandatory electrical, mechanical, and compliance criteria, qualifying it as a direct substitute for the C&K 7201TZGI.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the C&K 7201TZGI and E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH are active production components with ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

C&K 7201TZGI: Primary choice when electrical life specification of 100,000 cycles is a design requirement. REACH Affected status requires compliance verification in regulated markets.

E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH: Suitable alternative when electrical life of 40,000 cycles meets application requirements. REACH Unaffected status may simplify compliance documentation in certain jurisdictions. Higher inventory availability (6,776 pcs) supports rapid procurement.

Both parts satisfy identical electrical ratings, mechanical mounting requirements, and environmental operating specifications. The 0.55mm difference in actuator length (17.45mm vs. 18.00mm) is within typical mechanical tolerance for panel-mount toggle switches and does not affect functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH be used as a direct replacement for the C&K 7201TZGI in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (5A, 120V AC, 28V DC), DPDT circuit configuration, panel cutout dimensions (11.91mm Dia), bushing thread (15/32-32), and solder lug termination. The actuator length difference of 0.55mm is within standard mechanical tolerance for panel-mount applications.

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

A: The C&K 7201TZGI is rated for 100,000 electrical cycles, while the E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH is rated for 40,000 cycles. Applications requiring extended cycle life should specify the C&K part.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The C&K 7201TZGI is supplied in Tray packaging, while the E-Switch 100DP1T8B13M1QEH is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection should align with assembly and inventory management requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and rated for -30°C ~ 85°C operating temperature. The C&K part is REACH Affected, while the E-Switch part is REACH Unaffected. Compliance requirements for your specific application should determine part selection.

Q: Are the panel cutout and mounting thread specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts require a circular panel cutout of 11.91mm diameter and use a 15/32-32 bushing thread, ensuring mechanical interchangeability in panel-mount applications.
