TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays 1415539-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays 1415539-3 is a general purpose relay with SPST-NO (1 Form A) contact configuration, rated for 16A at 6VDC coil voltage. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts for continued system support and procurement. The relay features through-hole mounting, sealed construction with flux protection, and operates across the industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Substitution is required to ensure long-term component availability and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1415539-3 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the RT1/SCHRACK series. The substitute part RT334006 maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters: coil voltage (6VDC), contact configuration (SPST-NO), current rating (16A), switching voltage (400VAC maximum), mounting method (through hole), termination style (PC pin), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), coil resistance (90 ohms), and contact material (Silver Nickel). The substitute part differs only in product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging format (tube versus standard), with no functional or electrical deviation from the original specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RT334006 is the direct functional equivalent of the 1415539-3 within the TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays product line. Selection of RT334006 is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The 1415539-3 is classified as obsolete, while RT334006 maintains active product status. Active status ensures continued manufacturer support, documented specifications, and supply chain availability.

Electrical Equivalence: All electrical parameters are identical, including coil voltage, contact configuration, current rating, switching voltage, coil resistance, and timing characteristics. Direct functional substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Compliance Certifications: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification. The substitute part is unaffected by REACH regulations, whereas the original part is REACH affected. This distinction may influence procurement and regulatory documentation requirements depending on end-use application and geographic distribution.

Mechanical Compatibility: Through-hole mounting and PC pin termination are identical, ensuring compatibility with existing printed circuit board layouts and assembly processes.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute part is supplied in tube packaging rather than standard packaging. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical function but may influence inventory management and automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT334006 be used as a direct replacement for 1415539-3 in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. RT334006 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to 1415539-3. All functional parameters, including coil voltage, contact rating, switching voltage, timing characteristics, and operating temperature range are identical. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 1415539-3 is classified as obsolete. RT334006 is the active equivalent part within the same manufacturer series, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between these parts?

A: Yes. The 1415539-3 uses standard packaging, while RT334006 is supplied in tube packaging. This difference affects only handling, storage, and automated assembly processes. Electrical and mechanical function remain unchanged.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and classified as EAR99 for export purposes. The substitute part (RT334006) is unaffected by REACH regulations, whereas the original part (1415539-3) is REACH affected. Regulatory documentation requirements may differ based on end-use application and geographic distribution.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on identical specifications for coil voltage (6VDC), contact form (SPST-NO), current rating (16A), switching voltage (400VAC maximum), mounting type (through hole), termination style (PC pin), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), coil resistance (90 ohms), and contact material (Silver Nickel). Any deviation in these parameters would disqualify a part as a direct substitute.

Q: Is the coil current draw identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts draw 66.7 mA coil current at 6VDC, with identical coil resistance of 90 ohms. Power supply and control circuit design parameters remain unchanged.

Q: What is the operating voltage window for these relays?

A: The must-operate voltage is 4.2 VDC and the must-release voltage is 0.6 VDC. These parameters are identical for both parts and define the minimum and maximum coil voltage thresholds for reliable operation.
