Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 3-1416200-1 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent across equivalent parts:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Contact Form: SPDT (1 Form C)
• Coil Voltage: 12VDC
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination Style: PC Pin
• Switching Voltage: 400VAC - Max
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Base Series: V23061 / AXICOM

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Contact Rating (Current): May increase from 8 A to higher ratings
• Coil Insulation Class: May vary (Class A to Class F)
• Contact Material: May vary (AgCdO to AgNi)
• Operate/Release Time: May vary within functional requirements
• Product Status: Active substitutes preferred for obsolete parts

The substitute part 6-1416200-6 (V23061-D2005-A801) maintains all mandatory parameters while offering enhanced specifications in contact rating and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 6-1416200-6 (V23061-D2005-A801) is suitable for replacement of the obsolete 3-1416200-1 based on the following factors:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part maintains active product status with TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The main part is classified as obsolete, making this substitute the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Compliance and Certifications: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.41.0020) classifications. The substitute part includes RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing enhanced regulatory alignment for modern applications.

Functional Compatibility: The substitute maintains all critical electrical parameters including 12VDC coil voltage, SPDT contact configuration, 400VAC maximum switching voltage, and identical coil current (18.4 mA). The operating temperature range remains -40°C to 85°C.

Enhanced Specifications: The substitute offers improved contact rating (10 A versus 8 A) and upgraded coil insulation class (Class F versus Class A), providing greater thermal stability and reliability margins. Contact material differs (AgNi versus AgCdO) but remains within sealed relay specifications.

Timing Considerations: The substitute exhibits longer operate time (10 ms versus 6 ms) and release time (5 ms versus 2.5 ms). Applications requiring the original timing specifications must evaluate this difference against system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6-1416200-6 directly replace the 3-1416200-1 in existing designs?

A: The 6-1416200-6 maintains identical contact form (SPDT), coil voltage (12VDC), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pin). Direct replacement is supported for applications where the increased contact rating (10 A) and longer switching times (10 ms operate, 5 ms release) are acceptable. Applications with strict timing requirements must evaluate the timing differences.

Q: What is the significance of the contact material change from AgCdO to AgNi?

A: Both contact materials are specified for sealed relay applications. Silver Nickel (AgNi) in the substitute part provides different wear and oxidation characteristics compared to Silver Cadmium Oxide (AgCdO) in the original part. Both materials are suitable for the 400VAC maximum switching voltage and 10 A contact rating specifications.

Q: Why does the substitute part have a higher contact rating (10 A versus 8 A)?

A: The substitute part 6-1416200-6 is rated for 10 A continuous contact current, compared to 8 A for the original part. This represents an enhanced specification within the same relay series and form factor. Applications originally designed for 8 A operation benefit from this increased rating margin.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original part 3-1416200-1 has unspecified packaging, while the substitute 6-1416200-6 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm bulk packaging compatibility with your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: What is the impact of the coil insulation class upgrade from Class A to Class F?

A: Class F insulation provides higher thermal capability (155°C) compared to Class A (105°C). This upgrade enhances coil reliability and thermal margin, particularly in applications approaching the -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range limits.

Q: Is the substitute part RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, the substitute part 6-1416200-6 is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The original part status for these certifications is not specified in the provided data.

Q: How do the switching time differences affect circuit design?

A: The substitute part exhibits longer operate time (10 ms versus 6 ms) and release time (5 ms versus 2.5 ms). Applications with timing-critical switching requirements must evaluate whether these differences impact system performance. The increased times may affect high-frequency switching applications or circuits with tight timing constraints.
