TE Connectivity 1462039-6 Telecom Relay DPDT 2A 24V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield 1462039-6 is an active surface mount telecom relay with DPDT (2 Form C) contact configuration, rated for 2A at 24VDC coil voltage. This hermetically sealed relay is designed for telecommunications applications requiring reliable switching performance across industrial temperature ranges. The part is ROHS3 compliant and currently in active production status with 895 pieces available in inventory.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when component availability changes, supply chain constraints occur, or when design flexibility permits selection from qualified alternatives within the same functional category. The IM07GR represents a direct functional substitute from the same manufacturer series.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1462039-6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Contact Configuration & Electrical Ratings: The substitute part must maintain DPDT (2 Form C) contact form, 2A contact rating, and support switching voltages of 250VAC and 220VDC maximum.

Coil Specifications: The substitute must operate at 24VDC coil voltage with non-latching coil type. Operating and release voltage thresholds must fall within acceptable system tolerances.

Mechanical & Environmental Compatibility: Surface mount mounting type, gull wing termination style, hermetically sealed construction, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C are required for direct substitution.

Compliance & Quality Standards: Both parts must maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL rating (3, 168 Hours) to ensure equivalent reliability and handling requirements.

Relay Series & Manufacturer: Parts must originate from the TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield IM/AXICOM series to ensure design validation and performance consistency.

The IM07GR meets all substitution criteria within these parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1462039-6 and IM07GR are active production parts from TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield with identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL ratings. Selection between these parts is based on the following engineering considerations:

Coil Current Characteristics: The IM07GR operates at 8.3 mA coil current compared to 5.8 mA for the 1462039-6, resulting from lower coil resistance (2.88 kOhms versus 4.1 kOhms). This difference affects power consumption and driver circuit design. The 1462039-6 requires lower drive current, while the IM07GR provides lower coil resistance.

Operating Voltage Threshold: The IM07GR operates at 18 VDC minimum versus 19.2 VDC for the 1462039-6. Both parts release at 2.4 VDC. The IM07GR provides a lower operating threshold, allowing operation across a wider voltage window within the 24VDC nominal supply range.

Packaging & Availability: The 1462039-6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with 895 pieces in stock. The IM07GR is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging with 3400 pieces in inventory, providing greater availability for high-volume applications.

Functional Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical contact form (DPDT), current rating (2A), switching voltage capability (250VAC, 220VDC), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), and switching times (3 ms operate and release). Direct substitution is supported for applications where coil current and operating voltage variations are acceptable within system design margins.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the IM07GR directly replace the 1462039-6 in existing designs?

A: Direct substitution is supported when the application design accommodates the coil current difference (8.3 mA versus 5.8 mA) and the lower operating voltage threshold (18 VDC versus 19.2 VDC). Both parts maintain identical contact configuration, current rating, switching voltage, and operating temperature specifications. Circuit validation is required to confirm driver capability and voltage supply margin compatibility.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two relay models?

A: The primary differences are coil resistance (2.88 kOhms for IM07GR versus 4.1 kOhms for 1462039-6), resulting coil current (8.3 mA versus 5.8 mA), and minimum operating voltage (18 VDC versus 19.2 VDC). All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 1462039-6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while the IM07GR is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging. Both packaging formats are suitable for surface mount assembly, with selection based on production equipment compatibility and volume requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both the 1462039-6 and IM07GR are ROHS3 compliant with identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 3 (168 Hours). Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.41.0020. Compliance requirements are equivalent for both parts.

Q: What is the impact of the coil current difference on circuit design?

A: The IM07GR requires higher coil current (8.3 mA) compared to the 1462039-6 (5.8 mA). Driver circuits must provide sufficient current capacity for the selected relay. The lower coil resistance of the IM07GR (2.88 kOhms) results in higher current draw at 24VDC. Power dissipation calculations should account for this difference in thermal design.

Q: Are the switching characteristics identical between these relays?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical operate time (3 ms) and release time (3 ms), contact form (DPDT), contact rating (2A), and switching voltage capability (250VAC, 220VDC maximum). Switching performance is equivalent for both parts.

Q: Can the IM07GR be used in applications requiring the 19.2 VDC minimum operating voltage of the 1462039-6?

A: The IM07GR operates at 18 VDC minimum, which is lower than the 1462039-6 specification of 19.2 VDC. In applications where the supply voltage may drop below 19.2 VDC, the IM07GR provides operation across a wider voltage window. However, circuit design must confirm that the lower operating threshold does not introduce unintended relay actuation during normal operation.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these parts?

A: The 1462039-6 has 895 pieces in current inventory, while the IM07GR has 3400 pieces available. For high-volume production or extended lead time mitigation, the IM07GR provides greater stock availability. Packaging format differences (TR versus CT/Digi-Reel®) should be evaluated against production equipment requirements.
