Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 6-1617564-9 relay is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following categories:

Electrical Parameters: Coil voltage (26.5 VDC), contact form (SPDT), contact current rating (1 A), switching voltage capability (115 VAC, 28 VDC - Max), coil current (13.3 mA), coil resistance (2 kOhms), operate and release voltages, and timing characteristics (2 ms operate, 4 ms release).

Mechanical Parameters: Through-hole mounting configuration, PC pin termination style, hermetically sealed housing, and contact material composition (Silver Palladium and Gold).

Environmental Parameters: Operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C), moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and coil type (non-latching with integrated diode).

Manufacturer Consistency: All substitute parts are sourced from TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine to ensure design consistency and quality standards.

The substitute part 1617162-5 meets all these criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 6-1617564-9 and substitute part 1617162-5 are active production components from TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine. Selection between these parts is based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts are fully equivalent across all electrical parameters including coil voltage, contact ratings, switching voltage, timing characteristics, and operating voltage thresholds. Either part functions identically in circuit applications requiring SPDT relay switching at 26.5 VDC with 1 A contact current.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts feature identical through-hole mounting configuration and PC pin termination, ensuring direct substitution in printed circuit board layouts without modification to footprints or assembly procedures.

Environmental Performance: Both parts operate across the full temperature range of -65°C to 125°C with hermetically sealed construction and MSL 1 rating, supporting deployment in aerospace, defense, and marine environments.

Compliance Considerations: The substitute part 1617162-5 carries a defined REACH Unaffected status, whereas the main part 6-1617564-9 lists REACH status as Vendor Undefined. For applications requiring documented REACH compliance, the substitute part provides explicit regulatory clarity. Both parts carry RoHS non-compliant status and EAR99 ECCN classification.

Inventory and Availability: The main part 6-1617564-9 has 789 units in stock, while the substitute 1617162-5 has 754 units available. Selection may be driven by immediate procurement requirements and inventory levels.

Base Product Designation: The parts differ in base product number (J1MAP versus J1MAC), indicating distinct design variants within the 1MA, CII series. This difference does not affect functional equivalence but may be relevant for design documentation and traceability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1617162-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 6-1617564-9 in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. The 1617162-5 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. All coil voltage, contact ratings, switching characteristics, timing parameters, operating temperature range, and mounting configuration are identical. Direct substitution in existing PCB layouts and circuit designs is supported without modification.

Q: What is the difference between the base product numbers J1MAP and J1MAC?

A: The base product numbers indicate distinct design variants within the TE Connectivity 1MA, CII relay series. Both variants meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for this application. The different base designations reflect internal TE Connectivity product architecture but do not affect functional performance or interchangeability.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. The primary difference is REACH status: the substitute part 1617162-5 is designated as REACH Unaffected, while the main part 6-1617564-9 lists REACH status as Vendor Undefined. For applications requiring explicit REACH compliance documentation, the substitute part provides defined regulatory status.

Q: Do these relays require any special handling or storage considerations?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. Standard component storage practices are sufficient for both the 6-1617564-9 and 1617162-5.

Q: What is the significance of the hermetically sealed construction?

A: Hermetic sealing provides protection against moisture ingress and environmental contamination, critical for aerospace, defense, and marine applications. Both the main part and substitute maintain this seal rating, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments and extended service life.

Q: Can these relays be used interchangeably in high-reliability applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are active production components from TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine with identical specifications across all critical parameters. The 2 ms operate time and 4 ms release time, combined with the defined must-operate and must-release voltage thresholds, ensure consistent switching performance in high-reliability applications.

Q: What is the coil power consumption for these relays?

A: At 26.5 VDC coil voltage with 13.3 mA coil current, the power consumption is approximately 352 mW. This specification is identical for both the main part and substitute.

Q: Are there any differences in contact material composition between these parts?

A: No. Both the 6-1617564-9 and 1617162-5 use identical contact materials: Silver Palladium (AgPd) and Gold (Au). Contact material composition is identical across both parts.
