Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DSP1-L2-DC3V is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Coil voltage specification (3VDC)
• Contact configuration (DPST-NO/NC with dual coil latching)
• Current rating (5A)
• Switching voltage capability (250VAC, 125VDC maximum)
• Mounting technology (through-hole with PC pin termination)
• Thermal operating range (-40°C to 65°C)
• Contact material composition (Silver Tin Oxide)
• Coil resistance (30 Ohms)

The DSP1-L2-DC3V-F qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

The DSP1-L2-DC3V-F carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The substitute part maintains full compliance with cURus and VDE approval standards and is ROHS3 compliant, providing enhanced regulatory alignment for new designs. Packaging is supplied in bulk configuration for the substitute variant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the DSP1-L2-DC3V and DSP1-L2-DC3V-F electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical coil voltage (3VDC), contact configuration (DPST-NO/NC), current rating (5A), switching voltage capability, coil resistance (30 Ohms), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 65°C). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The DSP1-L2-DC3V is classified as obsolete. The DSP1-L2-DC3V-F maintains active product status and ensures long-term component availability.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns?

A: No. Both parts feature identical through-hole mounting with PC pin termination, sealed construction, and identical physical specifications. Direct board-level substitution is supported.

Q: Does the DSP1-L2-DC3V-F offer improved compliance?

A: The DSP1-L2-DC3V-F is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original part does not specify this certification. Both maintain cURus, VDE, and REACH compliance.

Q: What is the difference in packaging?

A: The DSP1-L2-DC3V-F is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the original part packaging specification is not defined. This affects procurement and handling but does not impact functional performance.
