E101J1AGE2 Rocker Switch SPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The E101J1AGE2 is an active SPDT rocker switch manufactured by C&K, rated for 7.5A at 125V AC and 28V DC. This through-hole, right-angle mounted switch features a concave black actuator with sealed flux protection and is designed for panel-mount applications requiring reliable on-on switching functionality. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries cULus approval. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when design requirements allow for variations in current rating, voltage specification, or manufacturer while maintaining core switching functionality and mechanical compatibility.

Critical Parameters (Must Match):

• Circuit configuration: SPDT
• Switch function: On-On
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Actuator type: Concave (Standard V)
• Actuator color: Black
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Operating temperature range: -30°C to 85°C
• Electrical life: 40,000 Cycles
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variations:

• Current rating: May be equal to or greater than 7.5A
• Voltage rating (AC): May be equal to or greater than 125V
• Voltage rating (DC): May be equal to or greater than 28V

Engineering Selection Recommendations

E101J1AGE2 (C&K) - Primary Selection

Use the E101J1AGE2 when application requirements specify 7.5A current capacity at 125V AC. This part carries cULus approval and is actively manufactured. ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status are documented.

300SP1J1BLKM6QE (E-Switch) - Substitute Selection

The 300SP1J1BLKM6QE is suitable as a substitute when application current requirements do not exceed 5A and AC voltage does not exceed 120V. This part is ROHS3 compliant and actively manufactured. REACH unaffected status may be advantageous for certain supply chain requirements. The substitute features epoxy sealed terminals as an alternative to flux protection sealing.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Actual application current draw (5A vs. 7.5A capacity)
• AC voltage requirement (120V vs. 125V rating)
• REACH compliance requirements
• Sealing method preference (flux protection vs. epoxy sealed terminals)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 300SP1J1BLKM6QE replace the E101J1AGE2 in all applications?

A: No. The 300SP1J1BLKM6QE is rated for 5A maximum current versus the E101J1AGE2's 7.5A rating. Substitution is valid only when the application current requirement does not exceed 5A. Similarly, the AC voltage rating is 120V versus 125V. Verify your application specifications before substitution.

Q: Are the mechanical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Both parts share identical mounting type (through hole, right angle), actuator type (concave standard V), and termination style (PC pin). Panel cutout dimensions are specified for the E101J1AGE2 (17.96mm x 10.62mm rectangular) but not provided for the 300SP1J1BLKM6QE. Confirm mechanical compatibility with the substitute manufacturer if panel cutout dimensions are critical.

Q: What is the difference between flux protection sealing and epoxy sealed terminals?

A: Both methods provide sealed protection against environmental contamination. Flux protection sealing is specified for the E101J1AGE2, while epoxy sealed terminals are specified for the 300SP1J1BLKM6QE. Both approaches meet the moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited) specification. Selection depends on application environment and manufacturing process compatibility.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the E101J1AGE2 and 300SP1J1BLKM6QE are ROHS3 compliant. However, the E101J1AGE2 is REACH affected while the 300SP1J1BLKM6QE is REACH unaffected. Verify REACH compliance requirements for your specific application and supply chain.

Q: What is the electrical life specification for both parts?

A: Both parts are rated for 40,000 electrical cycles, indicating equivalent operational durability under specified switching conditions.

Q: Do both parts operate across the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the E101J1AGE2 and 300SP1J1BLKM6QE operate across -30°C to 85°C, providing identical thermal performance specifications.
