Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the C&K 7203SHZGE 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 with circular 6.35mm diameter cutout
• Bushing thread: 1/4-40
• Termination style: Solder Lug
• Operating temperature range: -30°C ~ 85°C minimum
• Electrical life: 40,000 cycles minimum
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The E-Switch 100DP3T1B1M1QEH meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an equivalent part for the C&K 7203SHZGE.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the C&K 7203SHZGE and E-Switch 100DP3T1B1M1QEH are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The C&K 7203SHZGE carries REACH Affected status, while the E-Switch 100DP3T1B1M1QEH is REACH Unaffected. Selection between these parts should be based on supply availability, regulatory requirements specific to the end application, and existing component qualification within the design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E-Switch 100DP3T1B1M1QEH be used as a direct replacement for the C&K 7203SHZGE?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (5A at 120V AC / 28V DC), circuit configuration (DPDT On-Off-On), mechanical mounting specifications (panel mount with 6.35mm circular cutout and 1/4-40 bushing thread), termination style (solder lug), and operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C). Both are ROHS3 compliant with 40,000 cycle electrical life ratings.

Q: What is the difference in REACH status between these parts?

A: The C&K 7203SHZGE is REACH Affected, while the E-Switch 100DP3T1B1M1QEH is REACH Unaffected. This distinction may impact supply chain compliance requirements depending on the end application and regional regulations.
