Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 6-1415538-9 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Coil Voltage: 6VDC
• Contact Form: SPDT (1 Form C)
• Coil Current: 66.7 mA
• Coil Type: Non Latching
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination Style: PC Pin
• Seal Rating: Sealed - Flux Protection
• Coil Insulation: Class F
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Contact Material: Silver Nickel (AgNi)
• Coil Resistance: 90 Ohms
• Switching Voltage: 400VAC - Max

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Contact Rating (Current): Substitutes must equal or exceed 12A
• Product Status: Active substitutes preferred for ongoing availability
• Packaging: Tube packaging acceptable for through-hole components
• Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH status may differ based on substitute availability

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: RT314006 (MFR Recommended) and RT114006 (Parametric Equivalent).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT314006 (MFR Recommended Substitute)

The RT314006 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 6-1415538-9. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the exception of contact current rating, which is increased to 16A. The RT314006 is active in production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. ROHS3 compliance is maintained. The REACH Unaffected status of RT314006 provides regulatory advantage over the original part. Tube packaging is standard for this active component. Current inventory of 2377 units supports immediate procurement.

RT114006 (Parametric Equivalent Substitute)

The RT114006 provides parametric equivalence to the original 6-1415538-9, maintaining the identical 12A contact current rating. This part is active in production and ROHS3 compliant. The RT114006 retains REACH Affected status consistent with the original part. Tube packaging is standard. Highest inventory availability at 6832 units supports procurement flexibility. This substitute is suitable for applications where the original 12A contact rating is specified and no upgrade to 16A is required.

Both substitutes are electrically and mechanically compatible with the original part for through-hole PCB mounting applications. Selection between RT314006 and RT114006 depends on contact current requirements of the specific application circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT314006 directly replace 6-1415538-9 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RT314006 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters including coil voltage, contact form, coil current, operating temperature range, and termination style. The increased contact current rating of 16A is backward compatible with applications rated for 12A.

Q: What is the difference between RT314006 and RT114006?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent substitutes for the obsolete 6-1415538-9. The primary difference is contact current rating: RT314006 is rated for 16A while RT114006 is rated for 12A, matching the original part specification. Both maintain identical coil voltage, contact form, and all other critical parameters.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the obsolete part and substitutes?

A: The original 6-1415538-9 is specified with dash packaging notation. Both active substitutes RT314006 and RT114006 are supplied in Tube packaging, which is standard for through-hole relay components and compatible with automated assembly processes.

Q: Does REACH status affect part selection?

A: REACH status is a regulatory compliance indicator. RT314006 carries REACH Unaffected status, providing regulatory advantage. RT114006 maintains REACH Affected status consistent with the original part. Selection based on REACH status depends on end-use application regulatory requirements.

Q: Are both substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both RT314006 and RT114006 are ROHS3 compliant, maintaining environmental compliance equivalent to the original 6-1415538-9.

Q: Which substitute has better inventory availability?

A: RT114006 has the highest inventory at 6832 units, followed by RT314006 at 2377 units. Both provide adequate stock for procurement.

Q: Can RT314006 be used in applications requiring exactly 12A contact rating?

A: Yes. The 16A contact rating of RT314006 exceeds the 12A requirement and is suitable for applications specifying 12A or lower contact current. The higher rating provides additional margin without affecting circuit operation.

Q: Are the coil specifications identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. The coil voltage (6VDC), coil current (66.7 mA), coil resistance (90 Ohms), and coil type (Non Latching) are identical across 6-1415538-9, RT314006, and RT114006.
