TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relay 7-1415046-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relay 7-1415046-1 is a general purpose SPST-NO (1 Form A) relay with a 9VDC coil rated for 8A switching capacity. This relay features through-hole PC pin termination, sealed construction, and operates across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 70°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components necessary for ongoing procurement and system maintenance. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical performance characteristics and mechanical compatibility to ensure direct replacement capability in existing applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 7-1415046-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Coil voltage must be 9VDC
• Contact form must be SPST-NO (1 Form A)
• Contact current rating must be 8 A
• Maximum switching voltage must be 400VAC or greater
• Coil current must be 28.1 mA
• Coil resistance must be 320 Ohms
• Non-latching coil type

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting type must be through-hole
• Termination style must be PC pin
• Seal rating must be sealed (fully)
• Operating temperature range must encompass -40°C to 70°C

Functional Requirements:

• Relay type must be general purpose
• Series designation must be RY or SCHRACK

The substitute part RYA31009 meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters, with the exception of contact material composition (Silver Nickel versus Silver Cadmium Oxide) and product status (active versus obsolete). The contact material difference does not affect switching performance within the specified electrical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RYA31009 is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 7-1415046-1. All critical electrical parameters, mechanical specifications, and performance characteristics are identical.
