RR111C1700 Rocker Switch SPST 16A 125V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RR111C1700 is a panel-mount rocker switch manufactured by E-Switch, designed for SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) on-off applications at 16A AC and 125V. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system support and component procurement. The RR111C1800 serves as the direct manufacturer-recommended substitute, offering identical electrical and mechanical specifications with active product status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RR111C1700 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPST (Single Pole Single Throw)
• Current rating: 16A AC
• Voltage rating: 125V AC
• Mounting type: Panel Mount, Snap-In
• Panel cutout dimensions: Circular 20.00mm diameter
• Termination style: Quick Connect 0.187" (4.7mm)
• Operating temperature range: -20°C ~ 105°C
• Electrical life: 10,000 cycles
• Regulatory approvals: cUL, VDE, UL

The RR111C1800 meets all these criteria. The only differences are actuator color (green vs. blue) and product status (active vs. obsolete), neither of which affects electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RR111C1800 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete RR111C1700. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications (16A AC, 125V), mechanical form factor (20mm circular panel cutout, snap-in mounting), and regulatory compliance (cUL, VDE, UL certifications). The RR111C1800 carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. The actuator color difference (green vs. blue) does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility and may be addressed through panel labeling or user interface design if color coding is required for system operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RR111C1800 be used as a direct replacement for the RR111C1700?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (16A AC, 125V), circuit configuration (SPST), mounting specifications (panel mount, snap-in), panel cutout dimensions (20mm circular), and termination style (0.187" quick connect). No circuit modifications or mechanical adjustments are required.

Q: What is the difference between the RR111C1700 and RR111C1800?

A: The primary differences are actuator color (blue vs. green) and product status (obsolete vs. active). These differences do not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Why is the RR111C1700 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The RR111C1800 is the active equivalent and is recommended for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with panel cutout dimensions?

A: No. Both parts require a circular 20.00mm diameter panel cutout and use identical snap-in mounting mechanisms. Existing panel designs require no modification.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory approvals?

A: Yes. Both the RR111C1700 and RR111C1800 carry cUL, VDE, and UL certifications and are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both parts operate across -20°C to 105°C, with an electrical life rating of 10,000 cycles.
