The APF10324 is RoHS compliant, providing enhanced environmental compliance compared to the APE10124. Contact material composition differs slightly, with the APF10324 featuring Silver Nickel and Gold plating, which may provide improved contact reliability in certain applications. Both components carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the APF10324 be used as a direct replacement for the APE10124 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The APF10324 meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the APE10124, including coil voltage, contact configuration, current rating, switching voltage, mounting type, and termination style. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference in contact material between these relays?

A: The APE10124 uses silver alloy contacts, while the APF10324 uses silver nickel with gold plating. Both materials are suitable for the specified 6A switching application at 250VAC.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The APE10124 is supplied in standard packaging, while the APF10324 is supplied in tube packaging. Both are through-hole mounted components with identical PC pin termination.

Q: Why should I transition from APE10124 to APF10324?

A: The APE10124 is obsolete, making long-term supply unavailable. The APF10324 is an active product with confirmed inventory and RoHS compliance certification, ensuring design continuity and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are the coil current specifications identical?

A: The specifications are nearly identical. The APE10124 draws 7 mA while the APF10324 draws 7.1 mA. This 0.1 mA difference is negligible for circuit design purposes and does not affect compatibility.

Q: Do both relays operate within the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the APE10124 and APF10324 operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
