ALE7PB06 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ALE7PB06 is a general purpose relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, featuring SPST-NO (1 Form A) contact configuration with a 6VDC coil. This through-hole mounted relay is rated for 16A switching capacity at up to 277VAC maximum switching voltage. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ALE7PB06 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Contact form: SPST-NO (1 Form A) configuration
• Contact rating: 16A minimum switching capacity
• Mounting type: Through hole with PC pin termination
• Coil type: Non-latching operation
• Contact material: Silver tin oxide (AgSnO)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Coil insulation class: Class B

Secondary Consideration:

• Coil voltage compatibility within system design constraints
• Maximum switching voltage capability (minimum 277VAC)

The ALZN5B05W qualifies as a substitute based on matching contact form, current rating, mounting configuration, and termination style. While the coil voltage differs (5VDC vs. 6VDC), this represents a design parameter that must be evaluated within the specific application circuit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ALZN5B05W is an active product with current manufacturing status, whereas the ALE7PB06 is obsolete. Both components meet RoHS compliance requirements and share identical contact form, current rating, and mounting configuration.

The ALZN5B05W demonstrates superior electrical performance characteristics: higher maximum switching voltage (440VAC vs. 277VAC), greater maximum switching load (7040VA vs. 4432VA), and faster release time (5 ms vs. 25 ms). The substitute operates at 5VDC coil voltage compared to the original 6VDC specification.

Selection of the ALZN5B05W requires circuit-level evaluation to confirm compatibility with the 5VDC coil voltage requirement and to assess whether the enhanced switching voltage and load ratings are acceptable for the application. Both components carry equivalent thermal operating range and contact material specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ALZN5B05W directly replace the ALE7PB06 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement requires circuit evaluation. Both relays share identical contact form (SPST-NO), current rating (16A), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pin). The primary design consideration is coil voltage: the substitute operates at 5VDC versus the original 6VDC. Circuit power supply and control logic must accommodate this voltage difference.

Q: What are the key differences between these two relays?

A: The ALZN5B05W provides higher maximum switching voltage (440VAC vs. 277VAC), greater switching load capacity (7040VA vs. 4432VA), and faster release time (5 ms vs. 25 ms). The substitute requires higher coil current (80 mA vs. 33.3 mA) due to lower coil resistance (63 Ohms vs. 180 Ohms). Both maintain identical operating temperature range and contact material composition.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The ALE7PB06 is supplied without specified packaging, while the ALZN5B05W is packaged in trays. Both components use through-hole PC pin termination suitable for printed circuit board assembly.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to each relay?

A: The ALE7PB06 holds CSA, TUV, UR, and VDE approvals. The ALZN5B05W carries cURus and VDE certifications. Both are RoHS compliant (ALE7PB06: RoHS Compliant; ALZN5B05W: ROHS3 Compliant). The ALZN5B05W additionally maintains REACH Unaffected status.

Q: How do the timing characteristics compare?

A: The ALZN5B05W operates faster with 15 ms operate time versus 20 ms for the ALE7PB06, and releases significantly faster at 5 ms compared to 25 ms. These timing differences may impact system response characteristics and require application-specific evaluation.
