Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 6-1617534-2 relay is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the HFW and CII series. All identified substitute parts maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters: coil voltage (26.5VDC), contact form (DPDT), contact rating (2A), switching voltage (115VAC, 28VDC - Max), coil current (37.9 mA), non-latching coil type, through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, hermetic seal rating, operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C), contact material composition (Silver/Gold), coil resistance (700 Ohms), and switching timing characteristics (4 ms operate and release times).

The substitute parts differ only in packaging configuration (Bulk versus standard packaging) and RoHS compliance status. All substitute parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine and maintain active product status. The primary distinction between the main part and substitutes is the packaging type, with the main part 6-1617534-2 supplied in standard packaging and substitute parts 2-1617031-8, 3-1617533-0, and 4-1617033-5 supplied in Bulk packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts (2-1617031-8, 3-1617533-0, and 4-1617033-5) are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the primary part 6-1617534-2 and function identically in circuit applications. Selection between the main part and substitutes is determined by packaging requirements and regulatory compliance considerations.

The primary part 6-1617534-2 carries "Not applicable" RoHS status with "Vendor Undefined" REACH status. The substitute parts 2-1617031-8, 3-1617533-0, and 4-1617033-5 are designated as RoHS non-compliant with REACH Unaffected status. Applications subject to RoHS compliance requirements should reference the regulatory status of each part number prior to selection.

Packaging configuration differs between the main part and substitutes. The main part 6-1617534-2 is supplied in standard packaging, while substitute parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. Bulk packaging may be appropriate for high-volume production environments or applications requiring larger quantity orders. Current inventory levels are 938 units for the main part, 804 units for part 2-1617031-8, 1097 units for part 3-1617533-0, and 822 units for part 4-1617033-5.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the substitute parts electrically identical to the main part 6-1617534-2?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications including coil voltage (26.5VDC), contact form (DPDT), contact rating (2A), switching voltage (115VAC, 28VDC - Max), coil current (37.9 mA), operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C), and switching timing characteristics (4 ms operate and release times). The parts are functionally interchangeable in circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between the main part and substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging configuration and regulatory compliance status. The main part 6-1617534-2 is supplied in standard packaging, while substitute parts 2-1617031-8, 3-1617533-0, and 4-1617033-5 are supplied in Bulk packaging. The substitute parts carry RoHS non-compliant and REACH Unaffected designations, while the main part carries "Not applicable" RoHS status and "Vendor Undefined" REACH status.

Q: Can I use a substitute part in place of the main part 6-1617534-2?

A: Substitution is permissible from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. However, regulatory compliance requirements must be evaluated for your specific application. Applications subject to RoHS or REACH compliance mandates should confirm the regulatory status of the selected part number.

Q: What is the difference between standard packaging and Bulk packaging?

A: Standard packaging refers to the original packaging configuration for the main part 6-1617534-2. Bulk packaging is used for substitute parts 2-1617031-8, 3-1617533-0, and 4-1617033-5 and is typically employed for high-volume orders or production environments requiring larger quantity shipments.

Q: Are all parts manufactured by the same company?

A: Yes. All parts, including the main part and all substitutes, are manufactured by TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine and belong to the HFW and CII series.

Q: What mounting configuration do these relays use?

A: All parts use through-hole mounting with PC pin termination style, suitable for direct insertion into printed circuit boards with standard through-hole pad configurations.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these relays?

A: All parts operate across the temperature range of -65°C to 125°C, suitable for aerospace, defense, and marine applications requiring extended temperature performance.
