Toggle Switch DPDT 7203P3DCGE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 7203P3DCGE is an active production toggle switch manufactured by C&K, featuring DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) circuitry with On-Off-On switching function. This panel mount component is rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC, with a flat anti-rotation actuator and PC pin termination. The part is ROHS3 compliant and sealed with epoxy terminals for enhanced reliability. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical compatibility, and functional characteristics align within acceptable parameters for the application.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for toggle switch DPDT components is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Circuit configuration (DPDT), switch function (On-Off-On), and current/voltage ratings must support the application requirements. The substitute part 100DP3T1B1M2REH operates at lower current (0.4VA) and voltage (20V AC/DC) ratings compared to the main part.

Mechanical Compatibility: Panel mount configuration, panel cutout diameter (6.35mm circular), bushing thread (1/4-40), and PC pin termination must match to ensure physical interchangeability without panel modification or rewiring.

Environmental & Compliance: Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C), electrical life (40,000 cycles), RoHS3 compliance, and epoxy sealed terminals must be maintained for equivalent performance and regulatory adherence.

The identified substitute part shares identical mechanical mounting specifications and environmental operating parameters but operates at reduced electrical ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 7203P3DCGE and 100DP3T1B1M2REH are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and equivalent mechanical mounting specifications. Selection between these parts depends on application electrical requirements.

The 7203P3DCGE supports higher current (5A) and voltage (120V AC, 28V DC) ratings and is suitable for general-purpose switching applications requiring robust electrical capacity.

The 100DP3T1B1M2REH operates at reduced electrical ratings (0.4VA, 20V AC/DC) and is appropriate for low-power signal switching applications where current and voltage demands do not exceed specified limits.

Both components maintain identical operating temperature ranges, electrical life cycles, and panel mount mechanical interfaces, ensuring functional equivalence within their respective electrical rating boundaries.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 100DP3T1B1M2REH directly replace the 7203P3DCGE in all applications?

A: Physical interchangeability is confirmed through matching panel cutout diameter (6.35mm), bushing thread (1/4-40), and PC pin termination. However, electrical compatibility depends on application requirements. The substitute part operates at lower current (0.4VA vs. 5A) and voltage (20V vs. 120V AC) ratings and is suitable only for applications within these electrical limits.

Q: Are the mechanical mounting dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both components feature identical panel mount configuration, 6.35mm circular panel cutout diameter, and 1/4-40 bushing thread, enabling direct mechanical substitution without panel modification.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both the 7203P3DCGE and 100DP3T1B1M2REH are ROHS3 compliant with equivalent operating temperature ranges (-30°C to 85°C) and electrical life ratings (40,000 cycles). The main part is REACH Affected; the substitute is REACH Unaffected.

Q: What is the primary difference between these toggle switches?

A: The primary difference is electrical rating capacity. The 7203P3DCGE is rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC, while the 100DP3T1B1M2REH is rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC. Both maintain identical DPDT On-Off-On switching function and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are actuator differences significant for substitution?

A: Actuator type differs (flat anti-rotation vs. standard round) and actuator length varies (13.21mm vs. 10.41mm). These differences do not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability but may influence tactile feedback and panel aesthetics.
