Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 8-1415062-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Coil Voltage: 5VDC (exact match required)
• Contact Form: SPST-NO (1 Form A) (exact match required)
• Contact Rating: 6 A (exact match required)
• Switching Voltage: 400VAC maximum (exact match required)
• Coil Current: 40 mA (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Termination Style: PC Pin (exact match required)
• Seal Rating: Sealed - Fully (exact match required)
• Coil Insulation: Class F (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 70°C (exact match required)
• Coil Resistance: 125 Ohms (exact match required)

The substitute part RE034005K meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The contact material differs (Silver Nickel versus Silver Cadmium Oxide), and the substitute carries active product status with RoHS compliance and improved moisture sensitivity rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part RE034005K is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 8-1415062-1. Selection of RE034005K is based on the following factors:

Product Status: RE034005K carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The main part 8-1415062-1 is obsolete and no longer manufactured.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical parameters match exactly, including coil voltage, contact form, current rating, switching voltage, coil current, mounting type, termination style, seal rating, coil insulation class, operating temperature range, and coil resistance.

Compliance and Certifications: RE034005K is RoHS compliant and carries an improved moisture sensitivity level rating (MSL 1 - Unlimited), providing enhanced environmental protection compared to the main part.

Contact Material Difference: The substitute uses Silver Nickel (AgNi) contact material instead of Silver Cadmium Oxide (AgCdO). This change reflects modern manufacturing standards and environmental compliance while maintaining electrical performance within the specified parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
