Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DSP1-L2-DC6V is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Coil voltage specification (6VDC)
• Contact configuration (DPST-NO/NC with 1 Form A, 1 Form B)
• Contact current rating (5 A minimum)
• Switching voltage capability (250VAC, 125VDC maximum)
• Maximum switching load (1500VA, 625W)
• Coil type (Latching, Dual Coil)
• Termination style (PC Pin)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 65°C)
• Contact material (Silver Tin Oxide)

The substitute part DSP1-L2-DC6V-F meets all these criteria identically, with the primary distinction being product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and packaging format (Tube vs. standard packaging).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DSP1-L2-DC6V-F is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete DSP1-L2-DC6V. Both components are manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works within the DSP series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute part offers the advantage of Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Additionally, the DSP1-L2-DC6V-F carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. Both parts maintain cURus and VDE approvals, confirming compliance with international safety standards. The packaging difference (Tube format for the substitute) does not affect functional performance or pin compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are DSP1-L2-DC6V and DSP1-L2-DC6V-F electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both components share identical coil voltage (6VDC), contact configuration (DPST-NO/NC), current rating (5A), switching voltage capability (250VAC, 125VDC), and all timing specifications (10ms operate, 5ms release). They are functionally equivalent for circuit design purposes.

Q: What is the primary reason to use DSP1-L2-DC6V-F instead of DSP1-L2-DC6V?

A: The DSP1-L2-DC6V is classified as Obsolete, while DSP1-L2-DC6V-F maintains Active product status. Active status ensures ongoing manufacturing, availability, and supply chain support. For new designs or system replacements, the Active substitute is the appropriate selection.

Q: Does packaging format affect compatibility?

A: No. The DSP1-L2-DC6V-F is supplied in Tube packaging, while the main part uses standard packaging. This difference applies only to order quantity and handling; the component itself maintains identical pin configuration, footprint, and electrical performance.

Q: Are both parts certified to the same safety standards?

A: Yes. Both DSP1-L2-DC6V and DSP1-L2-DC6V-F carry cURus and VDE approvals. The substitute additionally carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental regulations.

Q: Can DSP1-L2-DC6V-F be used as a direct replacement in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical Through Hole mounting, PC Pin termination, and all electrical specifications. Direct substitution in existing PCB designs is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both components operate across -40°C to 65°C, supporting applications in standard industrial and commercial temperature environments.
