C&K 7207SHZGE Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7207SHZGE is an active-status 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 epoxy-sealed terminals for enhanced durability. The 7207SHZGE operates across -30°C to 85°C with 40,000 electrical cycles and is ROHS3 compliant. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical ratings, mechanical mounting specifications, and circuit configuration to ensure direct functional replacement in applications requiring DPDT toggle switch functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 7207SHZGE are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Circuit configuration: DPDT
• Switch function: On-Off-Mom
• Current rating: 5A (AC/DC) minimum
• Voltage rating: 120V AC / 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 minimum
• Electrical life: 40,000 cycles minimum

Substitute Parts Identified:

1. E-Switch 100DP5T1B1M1QEH - Meets all primary matching criteria with identical electrical ratings and mechanical specifications. Actuator length variance (10.41mm vs 10.67mm) is within acceptable tolerance for panel-mount applications.

2. E-Switch 100DP5T6B11M1QEH - Meets all primary matching criteria with identical electrical ratings and mechanical specifications. Features flat anti-rotation actuator (12.30mm length) as design variant while maintaining functional equivalence.

3. APEM Inc. 5648AB - Meets primary matching criteria with enhanced electrical ratings (6A AC / 4A DC, 125V AC / 30V DC) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). Panel cutout dimension variance (6.50mm vs 6.35mm) requires verification for specific panel mounting applications. Electrical life rating (50,000 cycles) exceeds minimum requirement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original 7207SHZGE specification.

E-Switch 100DP5T1B1M1QEH and 100DP5T6B11M1QEH provide direct electrical and mechanical equivalence to the 7207SHZGE. Both parts are manufactured by E-Switch, maintain identical voltage and current ratings, and feature matching panel mount specifications. The primary distinction between these two E-Switch options is actuator design: the 100DP5T1B1M1QEH uses a standard round actuator (10.41mm), while the 100DP5T6B11M1QEH features a flat anti-rotation actuator (12.30mm). Selection between these variants depends on application-specific actuator preference and panel geometry constraints.

APEM Inc. 5648AB offers enhanced electrical performance with higher AC current rating (6A vs 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C vs -30°C to 85°C). The panel cutout dimension is 6.50mm diameter compared to the 6.35mm specification of the 7207SHZGE. This 0.15mm variance requires assessment against specific panel mounting hole tolerances. The 5648AB is suitable for applications requiring higher current capacity or broader temperature operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E-Switch 100DP5T1B1M1QEH directly replace the C&K 7207SHZGE?

A: Yes. The 100DP5T1B1M1QEH matches all critical electrical parameters (5A, 120V AC, 28V DC), circuit configuration (DPDT), mounting specifications (panel mount, 1/4-40 bushing thread, 6.35mm cutout), and termination style (solder lug). Actuator length variance (10.41mm vs 10.67mm) is within acceptable tolerance for standard panel-mount applications.

Q: What is the difference between the two E-Switch substitute options?

A: Both E-Switch parts (100DP5T1B1M1QEH and 100DP5T6B11M1QEH) provide identical electrical ratings and mechanical compatibility. The primary difference is actuator design: the 100DP5T1B1M1QEH features a standard round actuator (10.41mm length), while the 100DP5T6B11M1QEH features a flat anti-rotation actuator (12.30mm length). Selection depends on application requirements for actuator type and available panel depth.

Q: Is the APEM Inc. 5648AB a suitable substitute despite the panel cutout dimension difference?

A: The 5648AB panel cutout dimension is 6.50mm diameter compared to the 7207SHZGE specification of 6.35mm. This 0.15mm difference requires verification against specific panel hole tolerances and drilling specifications. The 5648AB is electrically and functionally equivalent and offers enhanced current rating (6A AC) and extended temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). Mechanical compatibility must be confirmed for the specific application.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain the same electrical life rating?

A: The E-Switch parts (100DP5T1B1M1QEH and 100DP5T6B11M1QEH) match the 7207SHZGE electrical life rating of 40,000 cycles. The APEM Inc. 5648AB exceeds this specification with 50,000 cycles, providing extended operational durability.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts (E-Switch 100DP5T1B1M1QEH, E-Switch 100DP5T6B11M1QEH, and APEM Inc. 5648AB) are ROHS3 compliant, matching the regulatory status of the original 7207SHZGE.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitute parts?

A: The C&K 7207SHZGE is supplied in Tray packaging. E-Switch substitute parts (100DP5T1B1M1QEH and 100DP5T6B11M1QEH) are available in Bulk packaging. APEM Inc. 5648AB is available in Bulk packaging. Packaging format selection should align with procurement and inventory management requirements.
