ALE1PF06 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ALE1PF06 is a general purpose relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, featuring SPST-NO (1 Form A) contact configuration with 6VDC coil voltage and 16A contact rating. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The relay is designed for through-hole mounting with PC pin termination and operates across industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to 85°C.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ALE1PF06 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Contact form must remain SPST-NO (1 Form A) to maintain circuit switching functionality
• Contact rating must support minimum 16A current capacity
• Mounting type must be through-hole with PC pin termination for PCB compatibility
• Coil type must be non-latching to preserve operational behavior
• Contact material must be Silver Tin Oxide (AgSnO) for electrical performance consistency

The ALZN5F05W qualifies as a substitute based on these criteria. While the coil voltage differs (5VDC versus 6VDC), this represents a valid substitution pathway for applications where the lower voltage can be accommodated by the control circuit. The substitute part demonstrates improved electrical performance characteristics including higher maximum switching voltage (440VAC versus 277VAC) and greater load capacity (7040VA versus 4432VA).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ALZN5F05W represents the primary substitute for the obsolete ALE1PF06. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both components maintain identical contact form, current rating, and termination specifications, enabling direct functional replacement in through-hole PCB applications.

The ALZN5F05W demonstrates enhanced compliance posture with ROHS3 certification compared to the original part's RoHS compliance designation. Both components maintain EAR99 export classification and identical HTSUS commodity codes.

The substitute part operates across an extended temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -40°C to 85°C), providing broader environmental compatibility. Electrical performance improvements include 59% higher maximum switching voltage and 59% greater maximum load capacity, positioning the substitute as a performance-equivalent or superior alternative.

Coil voltage reduction from 6VDC to 5VDC requires verification that the control circuit can supply the lower voltage specification. Coil current increases from 66.7mA to 80mA, necessitating confirmation that the driving circuit can source the additional current requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ALZN5F05W directly replace ALE1PF06 without PCB modifications?

A: Yes, both components feature identical through-hole mounting and PC pin termination. Physical footprint compatibility is maintained. Control circuit voltage and current supply capabilities must be verified to accommodate the 5VDC coil voltage and 80mA coil current specifications.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The ALE1PF06 is classified as obsolete. The ALZN5F05W is an active product from the same manufacturer, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both components are RoHS compliant. The ALZN5F05W carries ROHS3 certification, representing a more current compliance standard. Both maintain identical export classification (EAR99) and commodity codes (8536.41.0050).

Q: How do the electrical performance characteristics compare?

A: The ALZN5F05W provides superior electrical performance with 440VAC maximum switching voltage versus 277VAC, and 7040VA maximum load capacity versus 4432VA. Contact current rating remains identical at 16A.

Q: What operational differences exist between these relays?

A: Operate time is faster in the substitute (15ms versus 20ms). Release time is significantly faster (5ms versus 20ms). Operating temperature range is extended in the substitute (-40°C to 105°C versus -40°C to 85°C). Contact material and coil insulation class remain identical.

Q: Is the coil voltage difference a limiting factor?

A: Coil voltage reduction from 6VDC to 5VDC is acceptable only if the control circuit can supply 5VDC. Coil current increases from 66.7mA to 80mA, requiring verification that the driving circuit can source this additional current.

Q: What packaging considerations apply?

A: The original part uses standard through-hole packaging. The substitute is supplied in tray packaging. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special storage requirements.
