Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Coil Voltage: 6VDC (exact match required)
• Contact Form: DPDT (2 Form C) configuration
• Contact Rating: 2A minimum
• Switching Voltage: 250VAC, 220VDC capability
• Mounting Type: Through Hole with PC Pin termination
• Coil Type: Latching, Single Coil operation

The V23079C1102B301 manufactured by TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays meets all critical substitution criteria. Both relays share identical contact form, coil voltage, current rating, switching voltage capability, and mounting configuration. Variations in coil current, operate/release times, and operating temperature range do not preclude substitution when the primary electrical and mechanical parameters align.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The V23079C1102B301 is a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete DS2E-ML-DC6V. Both relays satisfy identical electrical switching requirements and mechanical mounting specifications. The V23079C1102B301 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The substitute component demonstrates improved performance characteristics, including reduced coil current (11.7 mA versus 30 mA), faster switching times (4 ms operate and release versus 10 ms and 5 ms), and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 70°C). The V23079C1102B301 carries RoHS Compliance certification, whereas the original part status is not specified. Both components maintain identical contact form, coil voltage, current rating, and switching voltage specifications required for direct substitution in existing circuit designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the V23079C1102B301 directly replace the DS2E-ML-DC6V in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both relays share identical coil voltage (6VDC), contact form (DPDT), contact rating (2A), switching voltage (250VAC, 220VDC), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pin). These parameters define functional equivalence for general purpose relay applications.

Q: What are the differences between these two relays?

A: The V23079C1102B301 operates with lower coil current (11.7 mA versus 30 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). Contact material composition differs slightly: the substitute uses Silver Nickel with Gold plating versus Silver and Gold in the original. Coil resistance is higher in the substitute (514 Ohms versus 200 Ohms).

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The DS2E-ML-DC6V packaging is not specified in available documentation. The V23079C1102B301 is supplied in tube packaging. Both components use through-hole PC pin termination suitable for standard PCB mounting.

Q: Why is the DS2E-ML-DC6V obsolete?

A: The DS2E-ML-DC6V is listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. The V23079C1102B301 maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply continuity.

Q: Does the lower coil current of the V23079C1102B301 affect circuit design?

A: The reduced coil current (11.7 mA versus 30 mA) represents improved efficiency and reduced power consumption. Circuit designs must accommodate the higher coil resistance (514 Ohms versus 200 Ohms) when calculating drive current requirements. Existing drive circuits designed for the original 200 Ohm coil resistance require verification for compatibility with the 514 Ohm substitute.

Q: Are both relays sealed?

A: The DS2E-ML-DC6V is specified as sealed fully. The V23079C1102B301 seal rating is not provided in available documentation. Both relays are rated for general purpose applications with identical contact form and switching specifications.
