CL240A05RC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CL240A05RC is a solid-state relay (SSR) manufactured by Sensata-Crydom, classified as a SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) switching device. This component operates as a 1 Form A relay with AC output capability, designed for chassis mount applications using screw terminal connections. The device is currently in active product status and carries RoHS compliance certification.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when alternative components meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications required for the application, ensuring functional interchangeability within the defined parameter ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CL240A05RC is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration must remain SPST-NO (1 Form A)
• Output type must be AC
• Load voltage range must encompass or match 24 V ~ 280 V
• Input voltage range must be compatible with 90 ~ 250 VAC
• Mounting type must be Chassis Mount
• Package / Case must be Hockey Puck
• Termination style must be Screw Terminal
• RoHS compliance status must be maintained

The substitute part 84137211N (Crouzet GN series) qualifies as an equivalent based on matching circuit configuration, output type, load voltage range, mounting type, package type, and termination style. The input voltage range of 90 ~ 260 VAC provides extended coverage of the required 90 ~ 250 VAC specification. The load current rating of 25 A exceeds the 5 A requirement, providing additional capacity margin.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CL240A05RC and 84137211N maintain active product status with RoHS compliance certification, ensuring regulatory alignment and ongoing manufacturer support. The CL240A05RC is the primary component specification. The 84137211N serves as a qualified substitute when the CL240A05RC is unavailable, with the understanding that the higher load current rating (25 A versus 5 A) does not affect compatibility for applications requiring 5 A or less.

Selection between these components should be based on availability, lead time, and inventory requirements, as both meet the specified electrical and mechanical parameters for this application category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 84137211N (Crouzet) be used as a direct replacement for the CL240A05RC (Sensata-Crydom)?

A: Yes. Both components share identical circuit configuration (SPST-NO), output type (AC), load voltage range (24 V ~ 280 V), mounting type (Chassis Mount), package type (Hockey Puck), and termination style (Screw Terminal). The input voltage range of the 84137211N (90 ~ 260 VAC) fully covers the CL240A05RC requirement (90 ~ 250 VAC).

Q: Does the higher load current rating of the 84137211N affect compatibility?

A: No. The 84137211N is rated for 25 A load current, while the CL240A05RC is rated for 5 A. In applications requiring 5 A or less, the higher rating of the substitute part does not create compatibility issues and provides additional capacity margin.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the CL240A05RC and 84137211N carry RoHS compliance certification, meeting regulatory requirements for restricted substance limitations.

Q: What is the significance of the Hockey Puck package type?

A: The Hockey Puck package is a standardized form factor for solid-state relays with chassis mount capability and screw terminal connections. Both components use this identical package type, ensuring mechanical interchangeability in the same mounting configuration.

Q: Are there any differences in input voltage handling between these components?

A: The CL240A05RC accepts input voltage from 90 ~ 250 VAC, while the 84137211N accepts 90 ~ 260 VAC. The substitute part provides extended input voltage coverage, making it compatible with all applications within the primary component's voltage range.
