C&K 7207SPCWCLES2 Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7207SPCWCLES2 is a panel-mount toggle switch with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This component features an anti-rotation brass chrome-plated actuator, PC pin termination, and IP67 ingress protection suitable for sealed applications. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing system support and new designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 7207SPCWCLES2 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Circuit configuration: DPDT
• Switch function: On-Off-Mom
• Mounting type: Panel Mount
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Bushing thread: 1/4-40
• Operating temperature range compatibility
• Electrical life rating

Substitution Categories:

Direct Manufacturer Substitute (C&K 7207SPCWCRES2): Maintains identical electrical specifications (5A at 120V AC/28V DC), same mechanical interface (6.35mm circular cutout, 1/4-40 bushing), and equivalent performance characteristics. Primary difference is product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and RoHS compliance improvement.

Similar Manufacturer Substitutes (Electroswitch A231S1HCQP and A231S1YCQ): These parts share the same DPDT circuit, On-Off-Mom function, panel-mount configuration, and PC pin termination. Electrical ratings are higher (6A at 125V AC), providing margin for the original 5A/120V requirement. Actuator type differs (Standard Round vs. Anti-Rotation), and panel cutout dimensions are not specified for these alternatives.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Preferred): The C&K 7207SPCWCRES2 is the primary substitute. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. This part requires no design modification and provides the most direct transition from the obsolete 7207SPCWCLES2.

For Alternative Sourcing: The Electroswitch A231S1HCQP and A231S1YCQ provide functional equivalence with higher electrical ratings (6A/125V vs. 5A/120V). These parts are suitable for applications where the original specifications do not represent the maximum system requirements. The higher electrical life rating (60,000 cycles vs. 40,000 cycles) offers extended operational durability. Both Electroswitch alternatives are RoHS compliant and carry active product status.

Compliance Considerations: If RoHS compliance is a system requirement, the 7207SPCWCLES2 cannot be used in new designs. The 7207SPCWCRES2, A231S1HCQP, and A231S1YCQ all meet RoHS requirements. REACH status differs between manufacturers; verify compliance with your specific regulatory framework.

Mechanical Interface Verification: The 7207SPCWCRES2 maintains identical panel cutout dimensions (6.35mm circular) and bushing thread (1/4-40). The Electroswitch alternatives specify the same bushing thread but do not provide panel cutout dimension data; physical verification is necessary if panel mounting tolerances are critical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Electroswitch A231S1HCQP or A231S1YCQ be used as direct replacements for the 7207SPCWCLES2?

A: These parts share the same DPDT circuit, On-Off-Mom function, panel-mount configuration, and PC pin termination. The higher electrical ratings (6A/125V) exceed the original 5A/120V specification. The primary consideration is actuator type: the A231S1HCQP retains anti-rotation design, while the A231S1YCQ uses a standard round actuator. Panel cutout dimensions are not specified for these alternatives; physical compatibility with existing panel openings must be confirmed.

Q: What is the difference between the 7207SPCWCLES2 and 7207SPCWCRES2?

A: Both parts are C&K 7000 series DPDT toggle switches with identical electrical ratings (5A/120V AC, 28V DC), mechanical interfaces (6.35mm circular cutout, 1/4-40 bushing), and operating characteristics. The 7207SPCWCRES2 is the active production variant with RoHS compliance and epoxy sealed terminals, while the 7207SPCWCLES2 is obsolete with satin chrome actuator finish and RoHS non-compliance.

Q: Are there ingress protection differences between the C&K and Electroswitch alternatives?

A: The C&K 7207SPCWCLES2 and 7207SPCWCRES2 both specify IP67 (dust tight, waterproof) protection. The Electroswitch A231S1HCQP and A231S1YCQ do not provide ingress protection ratings in the available data. If IP67 sealing is a system requirement, the C&K alternatives are the specified options.

Q: What is the impact of the 26mm actuator length difference between C&K and Electroswitch parts?

A: The C&K 7207SPCWCLES2 has a 10.67mm actuator length, while the Electroswitch alternatives measure 10.41mm. This 0.26mm difference is within typical mechanical tolerance ranges for panel-mount switches. Verify that panel bezel clearance accommodates both dimensions if switching between manufacturers.

Q: Do all substitute parts support the same electrical life expectancy?

A: No. The C&K 7207SPCWCLES2 and 7207SPCWCRES2 are rated for 40,000 electrical cycles. The Electroswitch A231S1HCQP and A231S1YCQ are rated for 60,000 cycles, providing 50% greater operational life. This difference may be relevant for high-cycle applications.
