APE3014H General Purpose Relay SPDT 6A 4.5V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The APE3014H is a general purpose relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, featuring a single pole double throw (SPDT) contact configuration with a 4.5VDC coil and 6A contact rating. This through-hole mounted relay is designed for standard switching applications with a maximum switching voltage of 250VAC. The APE3014H is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the APE3014H is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The following criteria determine valid substitutes:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Coil voltage: 4.5VDC (exact match required)
• Contact form: SPDT (1 Form C) configuration
• Contact rating: 6A minimum
• Switching voltage: 250VAC or greater
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Termination style: PC pin
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C or wider
• Coil resistance: 119 Ohms

Both APF3024H and APF3034H meet these electrical and mechanical requirements. The APF series represents the active production equivalent to the obsolete APE series from Panasonic Electric Works, with identical coil specifications and contact ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both APF3024H and APF3034H are valid substitutes for the obsolete APE3014H based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Selection between the two substitute parts should be based on the following factors:

APF3024H: This part is RoHS3 compliant and represents the standard active production equivalent. It provides direct functional replacement with identical electrical performance and is suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

APF3034H: This part offers enhanced contact material specifications with both Silver Nickel and Gold plating options, providing superior contact reliability and corrosion resistance. It is RoHS compliant and has higher inventory availability (11,500 pcs vs. 3,784 pcs for APF3024H).

Both parts are manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works and carry EAR99 ECCN classification with identical HTSUS codes. The choice between APF3024H and APF3034H depends on application-specific requirements for contact material performance and compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can APF3024H and APF3034H be used interchangeably with APE3014H?

A: Yes. Both APF3024H and APF3034H meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for substitution: 4.5VDC coil voltage, SPDT contact configuration, 6A contact rating, 250VAC switching voltage, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. Operating characteristics including coil current, operate time, release time, and temperature range are identical.

Q: What is the difference between APF3024H and APF3034H?

A: The primary difference is contact material composition. APF3024H uses Silver Nickel (AgNi) contacts, while APF3034H uses both Silver Nickel (AgNi) and Gold (Au) plating. APF3034H provides enhanced contact reliability and corrosion resistance. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent for the APE3014H application.

Q: Why is the APE3014H listed as obsolete?

A: The APE3014H is an older product line that has been superseded by the APF series from Panasonic Electric Works. The APF series represents the current active production equivalent with identical specifications and improved compliance certifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: Yes. The APE3014H packaging is listed as unspecified (-), while both APF3024H and APF3034H are supplied in tube packaging. This does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; it only impacts procurement and handling procedures.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these substitutes?

A: APF3024H is ROHS3 compliant. APF3034H is RoHS compliant. Both parts are EAR99 classified and REACH unaffected or vendor undefined. All three parts share identical HTSUS classification (8536.41.0020) and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).
