APE30106 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The APE30106 is a general purpose relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, featuring a single pole double throw (SPDT) contact configuration with a 6VDC coil and 6A contact rating. This through-hole mounted relay is designed for applications requiring reliable switching of AC loads up to 250VAC. The APE30106 is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this relay type remains functionally appropriate.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the APE30106 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Coil voltage: 6VDC (exact match required)
• Contact configuration: SPDT (1 Form C) (exact match required)
• Contact current rating: 6 A (exact match required)
• Maximum switching voltage: 250VAC (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through hole (exact match required)
• Termination style: PC pin (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C (exact match required)
• Coil type: Non-latching (exact match required)

The substitute parts APF30206 and APF30306 meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both are active products from Panasonic Electric Works, providing functional equivalence to the obsolete APE30106 for direct replacement in existing designs and new applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both APF30206 and APF30306 are active products suitable for replacing the obsolete APE30106. Selection between these two substitutes is based on compliance and certification requirements:

APF30206 is RoHS Compliant and provides a direct functional replacement with silver nickel contact material. This part is appropriate for applications where RoHS compliance is mandatory.

APF30306 is ROHS3 Compliant with enhanced contact material composition (silver nickel and gold), offering additional contact durability. This part is suitable for applications requiring the highest level of environmental compliance and contact reliability.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance characteristics, including coil voltage, contact rating, switching voltage, and timing specifications. The choice between APF30206 and APF30306 depends on specific compliance certifications required by the end application and system design requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can APF30206 or APF30306 be used as direct replacements for APE30106?

A: Yes. Both APF30206 and APF30306 meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. They share identical coil voltage (6VDC), contact configuration (SPDT), current rating (6A), switching voltage (250VAC), mounting type (through hole), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C).

Q: What is the difference between APF30206 and APF30306?

A: The primary differences are compliance certifications and contact material composition. APF30206 is RoHS Compliant with silver nickel contacts. APF30306 is ROHS3 Compliant with silver nickel and gold contacts. Both provide equivalent electrical performance for the APE30106 application.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: APE30106 is supplied in standard packaging, while both APF30206 and APF30306 are supplied in tube packaging. This packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the coil current difference between APE30106 and the substitute parts?

A: APE30106 specifies 28 mA coil current, while APF30206 and APF30306 specify 28.3 mA. This 0.3 mA difference is within normal manufacturing tolerance and does not affect circuit design or performance.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. APE30106, APF30206, and APF30306 all operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, select based on compliance requirements. APF30206 is appropriate for RoHS-compliant applications. APF30306 is appropriate for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance or enhanced contact material performance.
