CL240A05R Solid State Relay - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CL240A05R is an active Sensata-Crydom solid state relay (SSR) featuring SPST-NO (1 Form A) switching configuration in a hockey puck package. This chassis-mount component operates with AC output, handling 5A load current across a 24V to 280V range with 90-250VAC input voltage. The part is RoHS compliant and carries MSL Level 1 rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent functional performance is required due to inventory constraints, application-specific load requirements, or voltage range specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by matching the following core parameters: SPST-NO circuit configuration, AC output type, hockey puck package, chassis mount configuration, and screw terminal termination. Load current and voltage ranges define substitution categories based on application requirements.

The CL240A05R accepts substitutes meeting these criteria:

• Identical circuit topology (SPST-NO / 1 Form A)
• Identical output type (AC)
• Identical package and mounting (Hockey Puck, Chassis Mount)
• Identical termination (Screw Terminal)
• Input voltage range compatibility with 90-250VAC minimum
• Load voltage range encompassing 24-280V
• Load current rating equal to or exceeding 5A

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts maintain active product status and full RoHS compliance, meeting regulatory requirements equivalent to the CL240A05R.

The 84137211N (Crouzet) provides 25A load current capacity with input voltage range of 90-260VAC and load voltage range of 24-280V. This part exceeds the current handling specification of the CL240A05R while maintaining identical load voltage boundaries.

The ASR-SI240A10RY-L (Altran Magnetics) provides 10A load current capacity with input voltage range of 90-280VAC and load voltage range of 48-280V. This part exceeds the current handling specification of the CL240A05R and extends the input voltage range. The minimum load voltage specification is 48V, which restricts application to circuits operating above this threshold.

Selection between substitutes depends on specific application load current requirements and minimum load voltage thresholds. Both alternatives are active products with current inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 84137211N replace the CL240A05R in all applications?

A: The 84137211N maintains identical load voltage range (24-280V) and input voltage compatibility (90-260VAC covers the CL240A05R requirement of 90-250VAC). The higher current rating (25A vs. 5A) does not prevent substitution in lower-current applications. Mechanical fit and screw terminal compatibility are identical.

Q: What is the key limitation of the ASR-SI240A10RY-L as a substitute?

A: The ASR-SI240A10RY-L specifies a minimum load voltage of 48V, whereas the CL240A05R operates from 24V. This part is not suitable for applications requiring load voltages below 48V. For applications operating at 48V and above, the extended input voltage range (90-280VAC) provides broader compatibility.

Q: Are all three parts mechanically interchangeable?

A: All three parts share identical package classification (Hockey Puck), mounting type (Chassis Mount), and termination style (Screw Terminal). Mechanical interchangeability is confirmed for these parameters.

Q: Do compliance certifications differ between the main part and substitutes?

A: The CL240A05R and 84137211N both carry RoHS Compliant status. The ASR-SI240A10RY-L carries ROHS3 Compliant status, which represents an updated compliance standard. All three parts are REACH Unaffected or carry REACH Unaffected status where specified.

Q: How do input voltage ranges compare?

A: The CL240A05R operates at 90-250VAC. The 84137211N extends this to 90-260VAC. The ASR-SI240A10RY-L provides the widest range at 90-280VAC. All three ranges overlap the CL240A05R specification, ensuring input voltage compatibility for standard applications.
