APE10106 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The APE10106 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 6A at 250VAC maximum switching voltage and operates across the temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The APE10106 is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the APE10106 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Coil Voltage: 6VDC (exact match required)
• Contact Form: SPST-NO (1 Form A) (exact match required)
• Contact Rating: 6 A minimum (exact match required)
• Switching Voltage: 250VAC maximum (exact match or higher required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Coil Resistance: 212 Ohms (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C (exact match or wider range acceptable)

The APF10306 meets all substitution criteria as an active product from the same manufacturer with identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The APF10306 is the direct substitute for the APE10106. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility and functional equivalence in circuit applications. The APF10306 holds active product status with RoHS compliance certification, providing supply chain continuity and regulatory alignment for new designs and legacy system replacements. The APE10106, classified as obsolete, should be replaced with the APF10306 for all new procurement and system updates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the APF10306 be used as a direct replacement for the APE10106?

A: Yes. Both relays feature identical coil voltage (6VDC), contact configuration (SPST-NO), current rating (6A), switching voltage (250VAC), mounting type (through hole), and coil resistance (212 Ohms). Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the difference in coil current between these parts?

A: The APE10106 specifies 28 mA coil current, while the APF10306 specifies 28.3 mA. This 0.3 mA variance is within normal manufacturing tolerance and does not affect circuit operation or component selection.

Q: Why should I transition from APE10106 to APF10306?

A: The APE10106 is obsolete. The APF10306 is an active product from the same manufacturer with identical specifications, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these relays?

A: The APE10106 packaging is not specified in the technical data. The APF10306 is supplied in tube packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your application before procurement.

Q: Does the APF10306 meet RoHS compliance?

A: Yes, the APF10306 is RoHS compliant. The APE10106 RoHS status is not specified.
