Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DS2E-ML2-DC6V is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Coil Voltage: 6VDC (exact match required)
• Contact Configuration: DPDT (2 Form C) (exact match required)
• Current Rating: 2 A (exact match required)
• Switching Voltage: 250VAC, 220VDC - Max (exact match required)
• Coil Type: Latching, Dual Coil (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Termination Style: PC Pin (exact match required)

The V23079B1202B301 manufactured by TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays meets all critical substitution criteria. Both components share identical functional specifications for coil voltage, contact form, current rating, switching voltage, coil type, mounting configuration, and termination style.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The V23079B1202B301 is a direct functional equivalent for the DS2E-ML2-DC6V. Both components satisfy identical electrical and mechanical requirements for DPDT relay applications at 6VDC with 2A contact rating.

The V23079B1202B301 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. This substitute also provides RoHS compliance certification, supporting regulatory requirements in applications subject to hazardous substance restrictions.

The V23079B1202B301 demonstrates improved operational characteristics, including reduced coil current (23.3 mA versus 60 mA), faster switching times (4 ms operate and release versus 10 ms and 5 ms), and an extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 70°C). These performance enhancements do not compromise functional compatibility with the original DS2E-ML2-DC6V specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the V23079B1202B301 directly replace the DS2E-ML2-DC6V in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both relays share identical coil voltage (6VDC), contact configuration (DPDT), current rating (2A), switching voltage (250VAC/220VDC), coil type (latching dual coil), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pin). These parameters define functional compatibility for relay substitution.

Q: What are the differences between these two relays?

A: The V23079B1202B301 operates at lower coil current (23.3 mA versus 60 mA), exhibits faster switching response (4 ms versus 10 ms operate time), and supports a wider operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 70°C). The V23079B1202B301 also carries RoHS compliance certification and active product status.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these relays?

A: The DS2E-ML2-DC6V is supplied in standard packaging, while the V23079B1202B301 is packaged in tube format. Both use identical PC pin termination for through-hole PCB mounting, ensuring mechanical compatibility in circuit board layouts.

Q: Does the difference in coil resistance affect circuit design?

A: The V23079B1202B301 exhibits higher coil resistance (257 Ohms versus 100 Ohms), resulting in lower coil current draw. Circuit designs must account for this resistance difference when calculating drive circuit requirements. The lower coil current of the substitute may reduce power consumption in the drive circuit.

Q: Is the V23079B1202B301 suitable for applications requiring the full -40°C to 70°C temperature range of the original?

A: Yes. The V23079B1202B301 supports -40°C to 85°C operation, which encompasses the original -40°C to 70°C specification. The extended temperature range provides additional operational margin.
