Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EE2-12NU be used as a direct replacement for the EE2-12NUX?

A: Yes. The EE2-12NU is a parametric equivalent with identical coil voltage (12VDC), contact configuration (DPDT), current rating (2A), switching voltage capability (250VAC, 220VDC), and all timing and thermal specifications. Both components are surface mount with gull wing termination and maintain equivalent compliance status.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between these parts?

A: Both the EE2-12NUX and EE2-12NU are supplied in tube packaging. No packaging differentiation exists between these equivalent parts.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for general purpose relays in the EE2 series?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence across coil voltage, contact form (DPDT configuration), current rating (2A), switching voltage limits (250VAC/220VDC), mounting type (surface mount), termination style (gull wing), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). All these parameters must match for functional interchangeability.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the EE2-12NUX and EE2-12NU are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry EAR99 ECCN classification with identical HTSUS coding (8536.41.0020). MSL rating is 1 (Unlimited) for both parts.

Q: What is the coil resistance specification for these relays?

A: Both parts maintain a coil resistance of 1.03 kOhms with a coil current of 11.7 mA at 12VDC. Must operate voltage is 9VDC and must release voltage is 1.2VDC.

Q: Are the switching times identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both the EE2-12NUX and EE2-12NU have an operate time of 2 milliseconds and a release time of 1 millisecond.
