APE1014H Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The APE1014H is a general purpose relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, configured as a single-pole single-throw normally open (SPST-NO) contact form with a 4.5VDC coil. This through-hole mounted relay is rated for 6A at 250VAC maximum switching voltage and features a coil resistance of 119 Ohms with non-latching operation. The APE1014H is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and production continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the APE1014H are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Primary Matching Criteria:

Coil voltage: 4.5VDC
Contact form: SPST-NO (1 Form A)
Contact rating: 6 A minimum
Switching voltage: 250VAC or greater
Mounting type: Through hole
Termination style: PC pin
Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C minimum
Coil resistance: 119 Ohms

Both identified substitutes (APF1024H and APF1034H) meet all primary matching criteria. The APF series relays maintain identical electrical specifications while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications compared to the obsolete APE1014H.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

APF1024H is the primary direct substitute for the APE1014H. Both relays share identical electrical specifications, contact ratings, and mechanical form factors. The APF1024H offers the advantage of active product status and RoHS compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The contact material composition differs (Silver Nickel versus Silver Alloy), but both materials are suitable for the specified 6A/250VAC switching application.

APF1034H is a similar substitute with equivalent electrical performance and active product status. This part features dual contact material composition (Silver Nickel and Gold), providing enhanced contact reliability for demanding switching applications. The APF1034H is functionally interchangeable with the APE1014H and offers the same RoHS compliance and regulatory certifications as the APF1024H.

Both substitute parts are manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works and maintain the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications as the original APE1014H, ensuring consistent regulatory and trade compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can APF1024H and APF1034H be used interchangeably with APE1014H?

A: Yes. Both APF series relays meet all electrical and mechanical specifications of the APE1014H, including coil voltage, contact form, current rating, switching voltage, mounting type, and termination style. Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between APF1024H and APF1034H?

A: The primary difference is contact material composition. APF1024H uses Silver Nickel (AgNi) contacts, while APF1034H uses Silver Nickel (AgNi) and Gold (Au) contacts. Both materials are rated for the same 6A/250VAC switching specification. The gold-plated contacts in APF1034H provide enhanced contact reliability in applications with frequent switching cycles or lower contact pressure.

Q: Why is the APE1014H obsolete?

A: The APE1014H is classified as obsolete by Panasonic Electric Works. The APF series relays represent the current product line for this relay category and are recommended for new designs and production continuity.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The APE1014H packaging is listed as "-" (not specified). Both APF1024H and APF1034H are supplied in tube packaging. Verify tube quantity requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Do the substitute parts have different coil operating characteristics?

A: The must operate voltage for APF1024H and APF1034H is 3.15 VDC, compared to 2.97 VDC for the APE1014H. Both values remain well within the 4.5VDC coil rating. The must release voltage is identical at 0.225 VDC across all three parts. Operate and release times are identical at 8 ms and 4 ms respectively.

Q: Are these relays RoHS compliant?

A: APF1024H and APF1034H are RoHS compliant. The APE1014H RoHS status is not specified in the available documentation.
