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

Part Overview

The C&K 7203SCWCBE is a panel-mount toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration, rated for 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC. This switch is designed for On-Off-On applications requiring sealed terminals and IP67 ingress protection. The product is currently active in production with 902 units in stock. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to supply chain considerations, design standardization across manufacturing facilities, or specific application requirements where substitute models meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the C&K 7203SCWCBE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Circuit configuration: DPDT
• Switch function: On-Off-On
• Current rating: 0.4VA (AC/DC)
• Voltage rating: 20V (AC and DC)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting type: Panel Mount
• Panel cutout dimensions: Circular - 6.35mm Dia
• Bushing thread: 1/4-40
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Actuator type: Standard Round

Environmental & Compliance Requirements:

• Operating temperature range: -30°C ~ 85°C
• Electrical life: 40,000 Cycles
• RoHS3 Compliance

The E-Switch 100DP3T1B1M2REH meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, enabling direct substitution in applications where the C&K 7203SCWCBE is specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the C&K 7203SCWCBE and E-Switch 100DP3T1B1M2REH are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and equivalent electrical ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Supply Availability: The E-Switch 100DP3T1B1M2REH currently has 1401 units in stock compared to 902 units for the C&K part, providing greater availability for high-volume applications.

Regulatory Compliance: The C&K 7203SCWCBE carries REACH Affected status, while the E-Switch 100DP3T1B1M2REH is REACH Unaffected. Applications subject to REACH regulations may require the E-Switch alternative.

Environmental Specifications: The C&K part specifies IP67 ingress protection. The E-Switch specification does not list ingress protection rating. Applications requiring sealed operation in dust or moisture environments should confirm environmental suitability before substitution.

Mechanical Fit: The actuator length variance of 0.26mm (C&K 10.67mm vs. E-Switch 10.41mm) is within typical panel-mount tolerance and does not affect functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E-Switch 100DP3T1B1M2REH be used as a direct replacement for the C&K 7203SCWCBE?

A: Yes, the E-Switch part meets all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both switches feature DPDT configuration, 0.4VA rating at 20V, identical panel cutout dimensions (6.35mm circular), 1/4-40 bushing thread, and PC pin termination. The actuator length difference of 0.26mm is within standard mechanical tolerance for panel-mount applications.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in circuit configuration (DPDT), switch function (On-Off-On), electrical ratings (0.4VA at 20V AC/DC), mounting type (Panel Mount), panel cutout dimensions (6.35mm circular), bushing thread (1/4-40), termination style (PC Pin), and operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C).

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. The C&K 7203SCWCBE is REACH Affected, while the E-Switch 100DP3T1B1M2REH is REACH Unaffected. Applications subject to REACH regulations should verify regulatory requirements before part selection.

Q: Does the E-Switch part provide the same environmental protection as the C&K part?

A: The C&K 7203SCWCBE specifies IP67 ingress protection (dust tight, waterproof). The E-Switch 100DP3T1B1M2REH does not list an ingress protection rating in the provided specifications. Applications requiring sealed operation should confirm environmental suitability with the manufacturer before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the actuator length difference?

A: The C&K part has a 10.67mm actuator length while the E-Switch part measures 10.41mm, a difference of 0.26mm. This variance is within standard mechanical tolerance for panel-mount toggle switches and does not affect functional operation or panel fit.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes, both the C&K 7203SCWCBE and E-Switch 100DP3T1B1M2REH are supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for production assembly and component procurement workflows.
