E101MD1AGE Toggle Switch SPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The E101MD1AGE is an active production toggle switch manufactured by C&K, featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuitry with On-On switching function. This through-hole, right-angle mounted component is rated for 7.5A at 125V AC and 28V DC, with epoxy sealed terminals and IP57 ingress protection. The component is ROHS3 compliant and currently in stock with 1,022 units available. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align within the allowed specifications for this product category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the E101MD1AGE is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration must be SPDT
• Switch function must be On-On
• Mounting type must be Through Hole, Right Angle
• Actuator type must be Standard Round
• Actuator length must be 7.62mm
• Termination style must be PC Pin
• Operating temperature range must encompass -30°C to 85°C
• Bushing thread must be Unthreaded
• Actuator material must be Brass, Chrome Plated
• Epoxy sealed terminals required

The substitute part 100AWSP1T2B4M6RE meets these mechanical and functional criteria. However, electrical ratings differ: the substitute operates at lower current (0.4VA) and voltage (20V AC/DC) specifications, with reduced electrical life (30,000 cycles versus 40,000 cycles) and enhanced ingress protection (IP67 versus IP57).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the E101MD1AGE and 100AWSP1T2B4M6RE are active production components with ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts must be based on application electrical requirements. The E101MD1AGE is suitable for circuits requiring 7.5A at 125V AC or 28V DC operation. The 100AWSP1T2B4M6RE is suitable only for applications with maximum 0.4VA at 20V AC/DC specifications. The substitute part provides superior ingress protection (IP67) but reduced electrical life cycling capability. Both components share identical mechanical form factors, actuator geometry, and termination interfaces, enabling direct mechanical interchange in through-hole PCB applications where electrical ratings permit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 100AWSP1T2B4M6RE replace the E101MD1AGE in all applications?

A: No. The substitute part is rated for significantly lower electrical parameters (0.4VA at 20V maximum versus 7.5A at 125V AC). Substitution is valid only in applications operating within the lower electrical specifications of the 100AWSP1T2B4M6RE.

Q: Are the mechanical interfaces identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both components feature identical through-hole, right-angle mounting, 7.62mm standard round actuators, PC pin termination, and unthreaded bushings. Direct mechanical interchange is possible in PCB layouts.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection ratings?

A: The E101MD1AGE provides IP57 protection (dust protected, waterproof). The 100AWSP1T2B4M6RE provides IP67 protection (dust tight, waterproof). IP67 offers enhanced sealing against dust ingress.

Q: How do the electrical life ratings compare?

A: The E101MD1AGE is rated for 40,000 switching cycles. The 100AWSP1T2B4M6RE is rated for 30,000 switching cycles. Applications requiring extended cycle life should use the E101MD1AGE.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the E101MD1AGE and 100AWSP1T2B4M6RE are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications with RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The E101MD1AGE is supplied in Tray packaging. The 100AWSP1T2B4M6RE is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format may affect procurement and handling procedures.
