Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 6-1393223-6 relay is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Coil voltage: 12VDC (exact match required)
• Contact form: SPDT (1 Form C) configuration
• Coil current: 18.4 mA (exact match required)
• Coil resistance: 652 Ohms (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Termination style: PC pin
• Must operate voltage: 8.2 VDC
• Must release voltage: 1.2 VDC
• Operate time: 10 ms
• Release time: 5 ms
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C

Secondary Compatibility Considerations:

• Contact rating current: 8A minimum (higher ratings acceptable for derating applications)
• Switching voltage: 400VAC maximum
• Seal rating: Sealed configuration

The identified substitute parts maintain all primary compatibility criteria. Variations in contact material, coil insulation class, seal rating specifics, and product status reflect manufacturing evolution while preserving functional equivalence for circuit-level applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Pin-Compatible Substitution):

The part V23061B1005A301 provides direct functional equivalence to the 6-1393223-6. Both components share identical electrical specifications, contact ratings, timing parameters, and thermal operating range. The V23061B1005A301 maintains active product status with RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, supporting long-term supply chain continuity. This part is the preferred selection for applications requiring exact electrical and mechanical compatibility.

For Enhanced Performance Applications:

The part 6-1416200-6 offers increased contact current rating (10A versus 8A) while maintaining all critical coil and timing parameters. This substitute accommodates applications with higher current switching requirements or provides additional design margin for existing 8A circuits. The 6-1416200-6 features Class F coil insulation and flux protection sealing, supporting enhanced thermal and environmental performance. This part is active and RoHS3 compliant.

Compliance and Supply Considerations:

Both substitute parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays with active product status, ensuring availability and manufacturing support. Both parts carry RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. The obsolete status of the original 6-1393223-6 necessitates transition to one of these active alternatives for new production and long-term field support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6-1416200-6 substitute for the 6-1393223-6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 6-1416200-6 maintains all critical electrical parameters including 12VDC coil voltage, 18.4mA coil current, 652 Ohm coil resistance, and identical timing specifications (10ms operate, 5ms release). The increased contact rating (10A versus 8A) provides additional capacity without affecting circuit operation. Through-hole PC pin termination is identical, enabling direct board-level substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the contact materials used in these relays?

A: The main part 6-1393223-6 uses Silver Cadmium Oxide (AgCdO) contact material. The substitute 6-1416200-6 uses Silver Nickel (AgNi), and V23061B1005A301 uses Silver Tin Oxide (AgSnO). These materials differ in wear characteristics, contact resistance, and environmental performance, but all three maintain the specified 8A or 10A contact ratings and 400VAC maximum switching voltage for the intended application categories.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. The 6-1393223-6 is supplied in bulk packaging. The 6-1416200-6 is supplied in bulk packaging. The V23061B1005A301 is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; selection depends on procurement and assembly process requirements.

Q: What does the coil insulation class difference mean?

A: The main part features Class A coil insulation, while the 6-1416200-6 features Class F. Class F insulation supports higher temperature operation and provides enhanced thermal stability. Both classes are suitable for the -40°C to 85°C operating range specified for these relays. Class F represents an enhancement in thermal margin without affecting functional compatibility.

Q: Can these relays be used interchangeably in 12VDC switching circuits?

A: Yes, within the specified electrical parameters. All three parts operate at 12VDC with 8.2VDC must-operate voltage and 1.2VDC must-release voltage. The 10ms operate time and 5ms release time are identical across all parts. Circuit designs using the 6-1393223-6 can transition to either substitute without modification, provided the contact current rating is not exceeded.

Q: What is the significance of the "Sealed - Fully" versus "Sealed - Flux Protection" rating?

A: Both seal ratings indicate hermetic enclosure of the relay mechanism. "Sealed - Fully" provides complete environmental isolation. "Sealed - Flux Protection" specifically addresses soldering flux contamination prevention during manufacturing. Both ratings support the -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range and provide equivalent protection for industrial applications.

Q: Why is the original 6-1393223-6 marked as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The substitute parts V23061B1005A301 and 6-1416200-6 represent current manufacturing alternatives that maintain functional equivalence while offering active product support, improved compliance certifications (RoHS3), and enhanced supply chain availability.
