T201SHZGE Toggle Switch DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The T201SHZGE is an active production toggle switch manufactured by C&K, configured as a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) panel mount switch rated for 3A at 120V AC and 28V DC. This component is designed for applications requiring reliable switching with epoxy sealed terminals and operates across a temperature range of -30°C to 85°C. Finding equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure supply chain flexibility, manage inventory across multiple manufacturers, and maintain design compatibility when the primary part becomes unavailable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the T201SHZGE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit and Function: DPDT configuration with On-On switching function
• Electrical Ratings: 3A current capacity at 120V AC and 28V DC
• Physical Interface: Panel mount with 9.40mm standard round actuator, 4.95mm circular panel cutout, and 10-48 bushing thread
• Termination: Solder lug connection style
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating
• Operating Conditions: -30°C to 85°C temperature range

The substitute part 200MDP1T1B1M1QEH from E-Switch meets all these critical parameters, making it a valid equivalent for direct substitution in applications where the T201SHZGE is specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the T201SHZGE and 200MDP1T1B1M1QEH are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications for circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, mounting interface, and operating temperature range. The primary distinction is electrical life rating, where the T201SHZGE specifies 60,000 cycles compared to 30,000 cycles for the E-Switch equivalent. Applications requiring extended cycle life should prioritize the T201SHZGE. For applications within the 30,000-cycle specification, the 200MDP1T1B1M1QEH provides full functional equivalence. REACH compliance status differs between manufacturers; applications subject to REACH regulations should verify supplier documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 200MDP1T1B1M1QEH directly replace the T201SHZGE in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 200MDP1T1B1M1QEH is a direct substitute for applications where the electrical life requirement does not exceed 30,000 cycles. All electrical ratings, mechanical interfaces, and environmental specifications are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the difference in electrical life ratings?

A: The T201SHZGE is rated for 60,000 electrical cycles while the 200MDP1T1B1M1QEH is rated for 30,000 cycles. This parameter defines the expected operational lifespan under normal switching conditions. Applications with higher cycle frequency should use the T201SHZGE.

Q: Are the panel cutout dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes, both parts require a circular panel cutout of 4.95mm diameter and use a 10-48 bushing thread, ensuring mechanical interchangeability in panel mount applications.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The T201SHZGE is supplied in Tray packaging while the 200MDP1T1B1M1QEH is supplied in Bulk packaging. This affects handling and storage but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are both parts compliant with environmental regulations?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. The T201SHZGE is REACH Affected while the 200MDP1T1B1M1QEH is REACH Unaffected. Verify regulatory requirements for your specific application and region.
