TE Connectivity 1617152-1 General Purpose Relay DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1617152-1 is a general purpose relay with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) contact configuration, rated for 1A switching at 12VDC coil voltage. This hermetically sealed, through-hole mounted relay is designed for aerospace, defense, and marine applications requiring reliable electromagnetic switching in harsh environments. The part is currently active in production with 1142 pieces available in new original inventory.

Identification of equivalent and substitute parts becomes necessary when original inventory is unavailable, when procurement lead times require alternative sourcing, or when design flexibility permits selection from compatible alternatives within the same electrical and mechanical parameter range.

• Moisture sensitivity level must be 1 (Unlimited) or equivalent

No substitute parts have been provided in the input parameters. Substitution analysis cannot proceed without parametric equivalent data.

Parameter Comparison

No substitute parts are available for comparison. The input specifies "Parametric Equivalent null," indicating that no alternative components meeting the defined substitution criteria have been identified or provided for this analysis.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1617152-1 maintains active product status with established supply availability (1142 pieces in new original inventory). The part carries RoHS non-compliant designation and REACH unaffected status, appropriate for aerospace, defense, and marine applications where legacy component specifications are maintained.

Selection of this component is supported by:

• Active production status ensuring continued availability
• Hermetically sealed construction suitable for harsh environmental exposure
• Established performance characteristics across the specified operating temperature range
• Compliance with ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.41.0050 classifications for controlled applications

When substitute parts become necessary, selection criteria must prioritize exact parameter matching across all electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications listed in the Key Parameters table.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What defines a valid substitute for the 1617152-1 relay?

A: A valid substitute must match all critical parameters: DPDT contact form, 1A contact rating, 12VDC coil voltage, 15mA coil current, 800 Ohm coil resistance, through-hole mounting with PC pin termination, hermetic sealing, and operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C.

Q: Can relays with different contact ratings be substituted?

A: No. The 1A contact rating is a fundamental specification. Substitutes must maintain this exact rating to ensure circuit protection and component reliability.

Q: Are coil voltage and coil current independent parameters?

A: No. The 12VDC coil voltage and 15mA coil current are interdependent specifications derived from the 800 Ohm coil resistance. Substitutes must maintain this relationship.

Q: Does hermetic sealing affect substitution eligibility?

A: Yes. The hermetically sealed construction is mandatory for aerospace, defense, and marine applications. Substitutes must maintain this seal rating.

Q: Can surface-mount relays substitute for this through-hole component?

A: No. The through-hole mounting type with PC pin termination is a mechanical requirement. Surface-mount alternatives are not compatible with this application.

Q: What is the significance of the 7VDC must-operate voltage?

A: This parameter defines the minimum coil voltage required for reliable relay actuation. Substitutes must maintain this specification to ensure predictable circuit behavior.

Q: Are there compliance considerations for substitute selection?

A: Yes. The RoHS non-compliant status and REACH unaffected designation must be maintained in substitutes for aerospace, defense, and marine applications where these specifications are required.
