T201LHCGE Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The T201LHCGE is an active production toggle switch manufactured by C&K, featuring DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) circuitry with On-On switching function. This panel-mount component is rated for 3A at 120V AC and 28V DC, with a circular 4.95mm panel cutout and 10-48 bushing thread. The switch employs PC pin termination with epoxy sealed terminals and operates across -30°C to 85°C. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical mounting specifications, and circuit configurations are available from alternative manufacturers, enabling procurement flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the T201LHCGE is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Criteria:

• Circuit configuration: DPDT
• Switch function: On-On
• Mounting type: Panel Mount
• Panel cutout dimensions: Circular 4.95mm diameter
• Bushing thread: 10-48
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Operating temperature range: -30°C to 85°C minimum

Electrical Compatibility Criteria: Substitute parts must meet or exceed the voltage and current ratings of the primary application. The T201LHCGE operates at 3A (AC/DC), 120V AC, and 28V DC. Substitute components with lower electrical ratings are not interchangeable for equivalent duty cycles.

The identified substitute part 200MDP1T2B1M2RE from E-Switch shares the mandatory mechanical and circuit parameters but operates at reduced electrical ratings (0.4VA, 20V AC/DC). This part is suitable only for applications with lower power requirements than the primary T201LHCGE specification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the T201LHCGE and 200MDP1T2B1M2RE maintain active production status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment for current applications. Selection between these components depends on electrical load requirements:

The T201LHCGE is specified for applications requiring 3A switching capacity at 120V AC or 28V DC with 60,000 cycle electrical life. This component is the primary choice for standard-duty industrial and commercial switching applications.

The 200MDP1T2B1M2RE is suitable for low-power applications operating at 20V AC/DC with 0.4VA capacity and 30,000 cycle electrical life. This substitute is applicable only when circuit requirements fall within these reduced electrical parameters and mechanical compatibility is confirmed.

Both components share identical mechanical interfaces (4.95mm panel cutout, 10-48 bushing thread, PC pin termination) and thermal operating range, enabling direct physical substitution when electrical specifications align with application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 200MDP1T2B1M2RE replace the T201LHCGE in all applications?

A: No. The 200MDP1T2B1M2RE operates at 0.4VA and 20V maximum, compared to the T201LHCGE's 3A and 120V AC rating. Substitution is valid only for applications with electrical requirements within the 200MDP1T2B1M2RE specification. Exceeding these ratings will result in component failure.

Q: Are the panel mounting dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both components feature a circular 4.95mm diameter panel cutout with 10-48 bushing thread, enabling direct mechanical interchange without panel modification.

Q: What is the difference in electrical life between these components?

A: The T201LHCGE is rated for 60,000 switching cycles, while the 200MDP1T2B1M2RE is rated for 30,000 cycles. For applications requiring extended cycle life, the T201LHCGE is the appropriate selection.

Q: Do both components meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the T201LHCGE and 200MDP1T2B1M2RE are ROHS3 compliant and maintain active production status, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What termination style do these components use?

A: Both components employ PC pin termination with epoxy sealed terminals, providing identical electrical connection methodology and environmental protection.

Q: Are there temperature operating range differences?

A: No. Both components operate across -30°C to 85°C, providing identical thermal performance specifications.
