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

Part Overview

The C&K 7203SDZGE 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 On-Off-On switching applications. The component is currently in active product status with 1067 units in stock inventory. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to supply chain considerations, design revisions, or specific application requirements where substitute components meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Circuit configuration: DPDT only
• Switch function: On-Off-On operation
• Current rating: 5A (AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings: 120V AC and 28V DC minimum
• Mounting type: Panel Mount
• Panel cutout dimensions: Circular 6.35mm diameter
• Bushing thread: 1/4-40
• Termination style: Solder Lug
• Operating temperature range: -30°C to 85°C
• Electrical life: 40,000 cycles minimum
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The E-Switch 100DP3T1B1M1QEH meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution with the C&K 7203SDZGE. Both components share identical circuit topology, current and voltage ratings, panel mounting specifications, and environmental operating conditions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the C&K 7203SDZGE and E-Switch 100DP3T1B1M1QEH are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time, and inventory status. The C&K 7203SDZGE currently maintains 1067 units in stock, while the E-Switch equivalent has 1327 units available. Both components meet identical electrical performance specifications and mechanical interface requirements for direct board-level substitution without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E-Switch 100DP3T1B1M1QEH replace the C&K 7203SDZGE in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (5A at 120V AC / 28V DC), circuit configuration (DPDT), switch function (On-Off-On), panel mounting specifications (6.35mm circular cutout, 1/4-40 bushing thread), and solder lug termination. No design changes are required.

Q: Are there differences in actuator length between these parts?

A: The C&K 7203SDZGE has an actuator length of 12.45mm, while the E-Switch 100DP3T1B1M1QEH measures 10.41mm. This difference does not affect electrical substitution but may impact panel aesthetics or user interface feel. Verify panel clearance and actuator accessibility for your specific application.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. The C&K part is REACH Affected, while the E-Switch part is REACH Unaffected. Confirm REACH compliance requirements for your end application and geographic market.

Q: What is the electrical life expectancy for these switches?

A: Both the C&K 7203SDZGE and E-Switch 100DP3T1B1M1QEH are rated for 40,000 electrical cycles, providing equivalent operational longevity for On-Off-On switching applications.

Q: Are solder lug connections compatible between both parts?

A: Yes. Both components use identical solder lug termination style, allowing direct PCB or harness connection without modification to existing wiring or assembly processes.
