T103MHCLE Toggle Switch SPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The T103MHCLE is a panel-mount toggle switch manufactured by C&K, featuring SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuitry with On-Off-On switching function. Rated for 2A at 120V AC and 28V DC, this component is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for production and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the T103MHCLE are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-Off-On)
• Voltage ratings (120V AC, 28V DC minimum)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount)
• Panel cutout dimensions (Circular - 4.95mm Dia)
• Bushing thread specification (10-48)
• Termination style (PC Pin)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: T103MHCRE (direct C&K equivalent) and 200MSP3T2B1M2QE (E-Switch alternative). The T103MHCRE maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications with active product status. The 200MSP3T2B1M2QE provides higher current rating (3A) while maintaining all other critical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

T103MHCRE is the primary substitute for T103MHCLE. Both parts are manufactured by C&K with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. T103MHCRE holds active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification are maintained. This part provides direct functional equivalence with no design modifications required.

200MSP3T2B1M2QE serves as an alternative substitute when higher current capacity is acceptable for the application. Manufactured by E-Switch, this part provides 3A current rating compared to the 2A rating of T103MHCLE, while maintaining all other critical parameters including voltage ratings, mounting configuration, and panel cutout dimensions. ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification are maintained. The actuator length differs by 0.11mm (5.33mm versus 5.44mm), which remains within typical mechanical tolerances for panel-mount toggle switches.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T103MHCRE be used as a direct replacement for T103MHCLE?

A: Yes. T103MHCRE is a direct substitute with identical electrical ratings (2A, 120V AC, 28V DC), circuit configuration (SPDT), switch function (On-Off-On), and mechanical specifications including panel cutout dimensions (4.95mm Dia) and bushing thread (10-48). No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between T103MHCRE and 200MSP3T2B1M2QE?

A: Both parts share identical circuit configuration, voltage ratings, mounting type, and panel cutout dimensions. The primary difference is current rating: T103MHCRE is rated for 2A while 200MSP3T2B1M2QE is rated for 3A. Additionally, 200MSP3T2B1M2QE is manufactured by E-Switch rather than C&K, and the actuator length is 5.33mm compared to 5.44mm.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. T103MHCLE packaging is not specified. T103MHCRE is supplied in Tray packaging, while 200MSP3T2B1M2QE is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection should align with procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS and export compliance requirements?

A: Yes. T103MHCRE and 200MSP3T2B1M2QE are both ROHS3 compliant and classified as EAR99 for export purposes, matching the compliance profile of T103MHCLE.

Q: Can 200MSP3T2B1M2QE be used in applications requiring exactly 2A current rating?

A: Yes. The 200MSP3T2B1M2QE is rated for 3A, which exceeds the 2A requirement of T103MHCLE. Higher current rating does not prevent use in lower-current applications. However, verify that the E-Switch manufacturer specifications align with your specific application requirements.
