ASX20006 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ASX20006 is a telecom relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, featuring a DPDT (2 Form C) contact configuration with 10 mA contact rating and 6VDC coil voltage. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The through-hole PC pin termination and telecom-grade specifications define its application scope in telecommunications switching circuits.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The IM04TS from TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays qualifies as a functional substitute for the ASX20006 based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Coil Voltage: 6VDC (identical)
• Contact Form: DPDT (2 Form C) (identical)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (identical)
• Termination Style: PC Pin (identical)
• Coil Type: Non Latching (identical)
• Relay Type: Telecom (identical)
• Must Operate Voltage: 4.5 VDC (compatible with ASX20006 requirement of 4.8 VDC minimum)
• Must Release Voltage: 0.6 VDC (identical)

Allowable Differences:

• Contact Rating: IM04TS rated at 2 A versus ASX20006 at 10 mA (IM04TS provides higher current capacity, suitable for applications requiring the ASX20006's 10 mA specification)
• Switching Voltage: IM04TS rated 250VAC/220VDC maximum versus ASX20006 at 10VDC maximum (IM04TS provides enhanced voltage capability)
• Operating Temperature: IM04TS range -40°C ~ 85°C versus ASX20006 range -40°C ~ 70°C (IM04TS provides extended upper temperature limit)
• Coil Current: IM04TS at 23.3 mA versus ASX20006 at 8.3 mA (higher coil current in substitute requires circuit verification)
• Operate/Release Time: IM04TS at 3 ms versus ASX20006 at 5 ms (faster switching in substitute)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The IM04TS is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and hermetic sealing, providing supply chain continuity for ASX20006 applications. The substitute maintains identical coil voltage, contact configuration, and termination style. The higher contact current rating (2 A versus 10 mA) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) represent performance enhancements suitable for the ASX20006 specification envelope. The increased coil current (23.3 mA versus 8.3 mA) and lower coil resistance (257 Ohms versus 720 Ohms) require circuit-level evaluation to ensure driver compatibility. The faster switching times (3 ms versus 5 ms) are compatible with telecom relay applications. Both components share identical REACH and ECCN classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the IM04TS directly replace the ASX20006 in existing PCB designs?

A: Physical compatibility is confirmed through matching through-hole PC pin termination. Electrical compatibility requires circuit verification of coil drive current capacity, as the IM04TS draws 23.3 mA versus the ASX20006's 8.3 mA. Switching time differences (3 ms versus 5 ms) are compatible with telecom applications.

Q: What is the significance of the contact current rating difference?

A: The ASX20006 is rated for 10 mA contact current, while the IM04TS is rated for 2 A. The IM04TS provides higher current-switching capability, making it suitable for applications within the ASX20006's 10 mA specification. The substitute does not reduce capability in this parameter.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The IM04TS carries ROHS3 compliance and hermetic sealing, while the ASX
