C&K 7203MPCWCGE Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7203MPCWCGE 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 epoxy sealed terminals and IP67 ingress protection, making it suitable for industrial and sealed enclosure applications. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical mounting interfaces, and environmental specifications align with the original component's functional requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7203MPCWCGE is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: DPDT
• Current rating: 5A (AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings: 120V AC and 28V DC minimum
• Mounting interface: Panel mount with 6.35mm circular cutout and 1/4-40 bushing thread
• Termination: PC Pin
• Operating temperature range: -30°C to 85°C minimum
• Electrical life: 40,000 cycles minimum
• RoHS3 compliance

The E-Switch 100DP3T1B9M2QEH meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. Differences in actuator type (standard round vs. anti-rotation) and actuator length do not affect functional equivalence in applications where the switch mounting and electrical interface are identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the C&K 7203MPCWCGE and E-Switch 100DP3T1B9M2QEH are active production components with ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements:

The C&K 7203MPCWCGE provides IP67 ingress protection and anti-rotation actuator design, suitable for sealed enclosure and vibration-prone environments. The E-Switch 100DP3T1B9M2QEH offers equivalent electrical performance and mechanical interface compatibility with a standard round actuator and longer actuator length. The E-Switch part carries REACH Unaffected status, which may simplify supply chain compliance in certain regulatory jurisdictions compared to the REACH Affected C&K component.

Both parts share identical electrical ratings, panel mounting interfaces, and operating temperature specifications, ensuring direct functional substitution in applications where ingress protection and actuator design are not critical differentiators.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E-Switch 100DP3T1B9M2QEH directly replace the C&K 7203MPCWCGE in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications where IP67 ingress protection is not required and actuator length differences do not create mechanical interference. Both parts share identical panel cutout dimensions (6.35mm circular), bushing thread (1/4-40), PC Pin termination, electrical ratings (5A at 120V AC / 28V DC), and operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C).

Q: What is the functional difference between anti-rotation and standard round actuators?

A: Anti-rotation actuators prevent unintended rotation during installation or vibration. Standard round actuators allow free rotation. Selection depends on application requirements for actuator orientation stability.

Q: Does the difference in actuator length affect compatibility?

A: Actuator length differences (5.08mm vs. 10.41mm) do not affect electrical or mechanical interface compatibility. Panel cutout and bushing thread specifications remain identical. Verify that panel thickness and surrounding component clearance accommodate the longer actuator if substituting the E-Switch part.

Q: What is the significance of REACH Affected vs. REACH Unaffected status?

A: REACH Affected indicates the component contains substances of concern requiring compliance documentation in European supply chains. REACH Unaffected status simplifies regulatory compliance for certain markets. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Are both parts suitable for sealed enclosure applications?

A: The C&K 7203MPCWCGE is rated IP67 (dust tight, waterproof). The E-Switch 100DP3T1B9M2QEH does not specify ingress protection. For sealed or wet environment applications, the C&K part is the specified choice.
