AQV215AX Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AQV215AX is a solid-state relay (SSR) manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, part of the PhotoMOS™ AQV series. This SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) relay is designed for switching applications with AC and DC loads up to 320 mA at voltages between 0 V and 100 V. The device features a 1.14 VDC input trigger voltage and operates with a maximum on-state resistance of 4 Ohms. Currently in active production status with 2,953 units available in stock, the AQV215AX is packaged in Tape & Reel format with gull wing termination for surface mount assembly. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications, mechanical compatibility, and packaging standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AQV215AX is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPST-NO topology)
• Input voltage specification (1.14 VDC)
• Load voltage range (0 V ~ 100 V)
• Load current capacity (320 mA)
• On-state resistance maximum (4 Ohms)
• Package type (6-SMD with 0.300" / 7.62mm dimensions)
• Termination style (Gull Wing)
• Mounting method (Surface Mount)

The AQV215A qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format: the AQV215AX is supplied in Tape & Reel configuration, while the AQV215A is supplied in Tube packaging. Both parts share the same base product number (AQV215) and maintain full compatibility in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the AQV215AX and AQV215A are active production components from Panasonic Electric Works with full RoHS compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement and assembly requirements:

The AQV215AX in Tape & Reel packaging is optimized for high-volume automated assembly operations where continuous reel feeding into pick-and-place equipment is standard practice.

The AQV215A in Tube packaging is suitable for lower-volume applications, manual assembly processes, or situations where component storage and handling procedures favor tube format.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. The choice between them does not affect circuit functionality, switching characteristics, or load-handling capacity. Inventory availability and supply chain logistics may influence selection, with the AQV215AX currently showing 2,953 units in stock and the AQV215A showing 2,264 units in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AQV215A be used as a direct replacement for the AQV215AX in production?

A: Yes. The AQV215A is electrically and mechanically identical to the AQV215AX. The only difference is packaging format (Tube versus Tape & Reel). Circuit performance, switching characteristics, and load specifications are unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between Tape & Reel and Tube formats?

A: Tape & Reel packaging is designed for automated high-speed assembly using pick-and-place machinery. Tube packaging is used for manual assembly, lower-volume production, or component storage. The choice depends on manufacturing process requirements, not electrical performance.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between AQV215AX and AQV215A?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The AQV215AX carries RoHS Compliant status, while the AQV215A carries ROHS3 Compliant status. Both meet environmental and hazardous substance restrictions. The AQV215A additionally carries REACH Unaffected designation.

Q: What load conditions can these relays handle?

A: Both the AQV215AX and AQV215A are rated for loads up to 320 mA at voltages between 0 V and 100 V. They support both AC and DC output switching with a maximum on-state resistance of 4 Ohms.

Q: What is the input trigger voltage requirement?

A: Both parts require 1.14 VDC at the input to activate the relay switching function.

Q: Can these relays be used in mixed AC/DC applications?

A: Yes. Both the AQV215AX and AQV215A support AC and DC output types, allowing them to switch both AC and DC loads within the specified voltage and current ratings.
