C&K 7301SPCWZGE2 Toggle Switch 3PDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C&K 7301SPCWZGE2 is a panel-mount toggle switch with 3PDT (three-pole, double-throw) configuration rated for 5A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This switch is designed for applications requiring reliable on-on switching with IP67 ingress protection. The part is currently active in production with 739 units in stock. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by matching the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Circuit configuration: 3PDT
• Switch function: On-On
• Mounting type: Panel Mount
• Panel cutout dimensions: Circular - 6.35mm Dia
• Bushing thread: 1/4-40
• Termination style: Solder Lug
• Operating temperature range: -30°C to 85°C

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Current rating: 5A (AC/DC) minimum
• Voltage rating - AC: 120V minimum
• Voltage rating - DC: 28V minimum

The E-Switch 100 series parts 1003P1T1B1M1QEH and 1003P1T2B1M1QE meet all primary and electrical compatibility criteria. The E-Switch 1003P1T1B1M1RE does not meet electrical compatibility requirements due to reduced current rating (0.4VA) and voltage ratings (20V AC/DC), and is therefore not recommended as a direct substitute for the 7301SPCWZGE2.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Recommended Substitutes:

1003P1T1B1M1QEH and 1003P1T2B1M1QE (E-Switch) are electrically and mechanically compatible with the 7301SPCWZGE2. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and active in production. Selection between these two E-Switch alternatives depends on actuator length requirements: 1003P1T1B1M1QEH provides 10.41mm actuator length (closest to the original 10.67mm), while 1003P1T2B1M1QE provides 5.08mm actuator length for applications with space constraints.

Not Recommended:

1003P1T1B1M1RE does not meet the electrical requirements of the 7301SPCWZGE2 due to insufficient current rating (0.4VA versus 5A) and reduced voltage ratings (20V AC/DC versus 120V AC/28V DC). This part is suitable only for low-power applications and is not a valid substitute.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E-Switch 1003P1T1B1M1RE substitute for the C&K 7301SPCWZGE2?

A: No. The 1003P1T1B1M1RE has a current rating of 0.4VA and voltage ratings of 20V AC/DC, which are insufficient for applications requiring 5A at 120V AC or 28V DC. This part is designed for low-power switching applications only.

Q: What is the primary difference between the two recommended E-Switch substitutes?

A: Both 1003P1T1B1M1QEH and 1003P1T2B1M1QE meet electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements. The key difference is actuator length: 1003P1T1B1M1QEH has a 10.41mm actuator (closer to the original 10.67mm), while 1003P1T2B1M1QE has a 5.08mm actuator for compact panel installations.

Q: Does the E-Switch 100 series provide the same ingress protection as the C&K 7301SPCWZGE2?

A: The C&K 7301SPCWZGE2 specifies IP67 ingress protection. The E-Switch 100 series substitutes do not specify ingress protection ratings in the provided data. Applications requiring IP67 protection should confirm environmental sealing requirements with the component supplier.

Q: Are all recommended substitutes RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both 1003P1T1B1M1QEH and 1003P1T2B1M1QE are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the C&K 7301SPCWZGE2.

Q: What is the electrical life difference between the main part and substitutes?

A: The C&K 7301SPCWZGE2 is rated for 100,000 electrical cycles, while the E-Switch 100 series substitutes are rated for 40,000 cycles. Applications with high cycle count requirements should account for this difference in component selection.
