Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays 5-1462039-9 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitute part 1-1462038-3 is functionally equivalent when the following critical parameters are identical:

Coil voltage (5VDC), contact form (DPDT), contact current rating (2A), switching voltage (250VAC, 220VDC - Max), coil current (28 mA), mounting type (through hole), termination style (PC pin), seal rating (hermetically sealed), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), contact material composition (Palladium, Ruthenium, Gold), relay type (telecom), and coil type (non-latching).

The primary difference between the main part and substitute is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the substitute is supplied in Tube packaging. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the main part 5-1462039-9 and substitute part 1-1462038-3 maintain Active product status and are ROHS3 compliant. The coil resistance variance of 1 Ohm (179 Ohms versus 178 Ohms) is within acceptable tolerance for relay coil specifications and does not affect functional performance.

Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements. The main part 5-1462039-9 is supplied in Bulk packaging, suitable for high-volume production environments. The substitute part 1-1462038-3 is supplied in Tube packaging, appropriate for lower-volume applications or inventory management scenarios requiring individual component handling.

Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.41.0020, indicating identical export and tariff classification. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) for both parts indicates no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part 1-1462038-3 be used as a direct replacement for 5-1462039-9 in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters including coil voltage, contact configuration, current rating, switching voltage, operating temperature range, and contact material composition. The 1 Ohm coil resistance difference is within acceptable tolerance and does not affect circuit performance.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is packaging format. Part 5-1462039-9 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while part 1-1462038-3 is supplied in Tube packaging. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are both parts suitable for telecom switching applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are classified as telecom relays with DPDT contact configuration and are designed for telecom switching applications. Both maintain hermetic sealing and operate within the same temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C).

Q: Do these parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.41.0020) classifications.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume production?

A: Part 5-1462039-9 with Bulk packaging is optimized for high-volume production environments where components are handled in larger quantities.

Q: Which part should be selected for lower-volume or prototype applications?

A: Part 1-1462038-3 with Tube packaging is suitable for lower-volume applications where individual component handling and inventory management are priorities.

Q: Are the coil resistance values close enough to be considered equivalent?

A: Yes. The coil resistance difference of 1 Ohm (179 Ohms versus 178 Ohms) represents a 0.56% variance and is within acceptable tolerance for relay coil specifications. This variance does not affect the 28 mA coil current specification or overall relay performance.

Q: Can these parts be intermixed in the same production batch?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent and can be intermixed in production applications. The packaging difference does not affect component performance or circuit compatibility.
