AQV202 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AQV202 is a solid-state relay (SSR) manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, part of the PhotoMOS™ AQV series. It is a SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) relay in a 6-DIP package designed for through-hole mounting. The device operates with a 2.3VDC input and supports load voltages from 0V to 60V with a maximum load current of 400mA. The AQV202 is currently in active production status with 2266 units available in stock.

Equivalent parts are necessary when the primary component becomes unavailable, when design requirements demand higher performance specifications, or when supply chain optimization requires alternative sourcing from qualified manufacturers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AQV202 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Must be SPST-NO (1 Form A) to maintain identical switching functionality
• Package / Case: Must be 6-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) to ensure PCB compatibility and mounting without redesign
• Termination Style: Must be PC Pin for direct through-hole mounting compatibility
• Voltage - Load Range: Must support 0V ~ 60V to cover the operating envelope
• Output Type: Must support both AC and DC operation
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole for assembly process compatibility

The PLA132 manufactured by IXYS Integrated Circuits Division meets all substitution criteria. While it offers enhanced performance characteristics (600mA load current versus 400mA, 1.0 Ohm maximum on-state resistance versus 1.4 Ohms, and lower input voltage requirement of 1.2VDC), it maintains identical circuit configuration, package dimensions, and electrical operating range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the AQV202 and PLA132 are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, making them suitable for current and future regulatory requirements.

The AQV202 is the primary selection when Panasonic sourcing is specified or when the 2.3VDC input voltage requirement aligns with existing circuit design.

The PLA132 is a qualified substitute when:

• Higher load current capacity (600mA versus 400mA) is required within the same package footprint
• Lower on-state resistance (1.0 Ohm versus 1.4 Ohms) reduces power dissipation
• Lower input voltage requirement (1.2VDC versus 2.3VDC) simplifies input signal conditioning

Both components share identical load voltage range (0V ~ 60V), circuit configuration (SPST-NO), package dimensions (6-DIP), and mounting methodology (through-hole PC pins), ensuring direct substitution without PCB redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PLA132 be used as a direct replacement for the AQV202 without PCB modification?

A: Yes. Both components use identical 6-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) packages with PC pin termination, enabling direct through-hole mounting without PCB redesign.

Q: What are the key differences between these two SSR relays?

A: The PLA132 offers superior performance: 600mA load current capacity (versus 400mA), lower on-state resistance of 1.0 Ohm (versus 1.4 Ohms), and reduced input voltage requirement of 1.2VDC (versus 2.3VDC). Both support identical load voltage range (0V ~ 60V) and circuit configuration (SPST-NO).

Q: Are both components suitable for AC and DC load switching?

A: Yes. Both the AQV202 and PLA132 support AC and DC output operation across the 0V ~ 60V load voltage range.

Q: What is the significance of the lower input voltage requirement in the PLA132?

A: The PLA132 requires only 1.2VDC input versus 2.3VDC for the AQV202. This lower threshold may reduce input signal conditioning complexity and power consumption in the control circuit.

Q: Do both components meet current environmental and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the AQV202 and PLA132 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: Which component should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on specific application requirements. For designs requiring maximum load current capacity or minimum on-state resistance, the PLA132 is preferred. For designs with existing Panasonic component specifications or 2.3VDC input availability, the AQV202 is appropriate. Both are active production components with adequate inventory.
