ALE7PF06 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ALE7PF06 is a general purpose relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, featuring a 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, delivering 4432VA maximum load switching capability. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ALZN5F05W qualifies as a functional substitute for the ALE7PF06 based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Contact form: Both are SPST-NO (1 Form A) configuration
• Contact rating: Both rated for 16A switching capacity
• Mounting type: Both are through-hole mounted
• Termination style: Both use PC Pin termination
• Coil type: Both are non-latching relays
• Contact material: Both use Silver Tin Oxide (AgSnO)
• Coil insulation: Both are Class F
• Operating temperature range: ALZN5F05W (-40°C ~ 105°C) encompasses the ALE7PF06 range (-40°C ~ 85°C)

Differing Parameters:

• Coil voltage: ALE7PF06 is 6VDC; ALZN5F05W is 5VDC
• Switching voltage maximum: ALE7PF06 is 277VAC; ALZN5F05W is 440VAC
• Maximum load switching: ALE7PF06 is 4432VA; ALZN5F05W is 7040VA
• Coil current: ALE7PF06 is 33.3mA; ALZN5F05W is 80mA
• Coil resistance: ALE7PF06 is 180 Ohms; ALZN5F05W is 63 Ohms
• Operate/Release times: ALZN5F05W has faster response (15ms operate, 5ms release vs. 20ms/25ms)
• Product status: ALZN5F05W is active; ALE7PF06 is obsolete
• Packaging: ALZN5F05W is supplied in tray; ALE7PF06 packaging not specified

Substitution is valid where the 5VDC coil voltage of the ALZN5F05W is compatible with the application circuit, and where the enhanced electrical ratings (higher switching voltage and load capacity) do not create design conflicts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ALZN5F05W is the designated substitute for the obsolete ALE7PF06. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The ALE7PF06 is obsolete, making the active ALZN5F05W the appropriate choice for ongoing procurement and system maintenance.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance. The ALZN5F05W achieves ROHS3 compliance and carries REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. Both parts hold VDE certification; the ALZN5F05W additionally carries cURus approval.

Functional Equivalence: Both relays maintain identical contact form (SPST-NO), current rating (16A), mounting configuration (through-hole), and termination style (PC Pin). Contact material and coil insulation class are identical.

Application Considerations: The primary design consideration is the coil voltage difference (6VDC vs. 5VDC). The ALZN5F05W operates at lower coil voltage with lower must-operate voltage (4.6VDC vs. 4.5VDC), making it suitable for applications where the 5VDC supply is available. The substitute provides superior electrical ratings (440VAC switching voltage vs. 277VAC; 7040VA vs. 4432VA load capacity), which do not create compatibility issues in applications designed for the original part's specifications.

The ALZN5F05W exhibits faster response characteristics (15ms operate time vs. 20ms; 5ms release time vs. 25ms) and operates across a wider temperature range (-40°C to 105°C vs. -40°C to 85°C).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ALZN5F05W directly replace the ALE7PF06 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible where the application circuit supplies 5VDC to the relay coil. If the original design supplies 6VDC, circuit modification is required. The ALZN5F05W's lower must-operate voltage (4.6VDC) provides operational margin in 5VDC systems.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two relays?

A: The coil voltage differs: ALE7PF06 requires 6VDC; ALZN5F05W requires 5VDC. Both maintain identical contact configuration, current rating, and mounting type. The ALZN5F05W provides higher switching voltage and load capacity ratings.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The ALZN5F05W is supplied in tray packaging. Original ALE7PF06 packaging specification is not provided. Verify packaging requirements for your assembly process.

Q: Do both relays meet current regulatory standards?

A: Both are RoHS compliant. The ALZN5F05W meets ROHS3 compliance and is REACH Unaffected, aligning with current regulatory requirements. Both carry VDE certification.

Q: How do the response times compare?

A: The ALZN5F05W operates faster: 15ms operate time and 5ms release time versus 20ms and 25ms for the ALE7PF06. This faster response may affect timing-sensitive applications.

Q: What are the coil current requirements?

A: The ALE7PF06 draws 33.3mA at 6VDC (180 Ohm coil resistance). The ALZN5F05W draws 80mA at 5VDC (63 Ohm coil resistance). Verify that the control circuit can supply the higher current requirement of the substitute.

Q: Is the ALZN5F05W available in stock?

A: The ALZN5F05W is an active product with 1305 pieces in stock as a new original component, ensuring availability for procurement and replacement applications.
