Sensata-Crydom 6202A AC Input Module - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Sensata-Crydom 6202A is an AC Input Module designed for 240VAC supply applications, providing a 5VDC output at 16mA. This module features a 20ms turn-on and turn-off time with hold-down screw mounting. The 6202A is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute parts essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where legacy component compatibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 6202A is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Input Voltage Compatibility: The primary substitution criterion. The 6202A operates on 240VAC input. Direct substitutes must support 240VAC operation.
• Output Specifications: Output voltage (5VDC) and output current (16mA minimum) must be maintained or exceeded.
• Switching Characteristics: Turn-on and turn-off times (20ms) establish the response profile for the module.
• Form Factor and Mounting: Hold-down screw feature and yellow color indicate standard industrial packaging.

Two substitute categories exist:

1. Direct Voltage Match (240VAC): IAC-5A from TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays maintains the 240VAC input specification with enhanced output current capability (18mA).

2. Voltage Variant (120VAC): IAC5 from Sensata Technologies operates on 120VAC input and is suitable only for applications where input voltage can be adapted or where 120VAC operation is acceptable.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For 240VAC Applications: The IAC-5A from TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays is the primary substitute for the obsolete 6202A. This part maintains 240VAC input voltage compatibility, provides equivalent 5VDC output at 18mA (exceeding the 16mA requirement), and is currently in active production status. The IAC-5A carries ROHS3 compliance and is suitable for new designs and legacy system replacements. The 30ms turn-off time represents a minor deviation from the original 20ms specification and should be evaluated against system timing requirements.

For 120VAC Applications: The IAC5 from Sensata Technologies is suitable only when the application environment or power supply can be adapted to 120VAC input. This part is active in production, RoHS compliant, and provides the exact 16mA output current specification. The IAC5 maintains the original 20ms switching times.

Compliance Considerations: Both active substitutes carry current RoHS certifications. The IAC-5A is REACH Affected, requiring verification against specific regulatory requirements for the end application. The 6202A is REACH Unaffected, reflecting its obsolete status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the IAC5 (120VAC) be used as a direct replacement for the 6202A (240VAC)?

A: No. The IAC5 operates on 120VAC input while the 6202A requires 240VAC. Direct substitution is not possible without modifying the power supply circuit. The IAC5 is suitable only for applications where 120VAC operation is feasible.

Q: What is the significance of the turn-off time difference between the 6202A (20ms) and IAC-5A (30ms)?

A: The IAC-5A has a 10ms longer turn-off time. This difference must be evaluated against system timing requirements. Applications with strict turn-off timing constraints should verify compatibility before implementation.

Q: Are both substitute parts available in the same packaging as the original 6202A?

A: No. The 6202A used standard packaging, while the IAC-5A is supplied in bulk packaging and the IAC5 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging differences may affect handling, storage, and assembly processes.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance?

A: ROHS3 represents the current RoHS 3 directive (2015/863/EU), which includes restrictions on phthalates in addition to the original six restricted substances. The IAC-5A meets the more stringent ROHS3 standard, making it suitable for applications requiring current environmental compliance.

Q: Is the IAC-5A suitable for new product designs?

A: Yes. The IAC-5A is in active production status with current RoHS3 compliance, making it appropriate for new designs requiring 240VAC AC input modules with 5VDC output.

Q: What does "REACH Affected" mean for the IAC-5A?

A: REACH Affected indicates that the part may contain substances of very high concern (SVHC) listed under the REACH regulation. Verification against specific application regulatory requirements is necessary before implementation.
