EE2-5NUX General Purpose Relay DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EE2-5NUX is a general purpose relay manufactured by KEMET, classified as a DPDT (2 Form C) surface mount component with a 5VDC coil voltage and 2A contact rating. This relay is designed for applications requiring double-pole, double-throw switching functionality in compact surface mount packages. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or application-specific packaging needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the EE2-5NUX are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the KEMET EE2 series. The substitution criteria are defined by the following parameters:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Coil Voltage: 5VDC
• Contact Form: DPDT (2 Form C)
• Contact Rating: 2 A
• Switching Voltage: 250VAC, 220VDC - Max
• Coil Current: 28 mA
• Coil Type: Non Latching
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Termination Style: Gull Wing
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Contact Material: Silver Alloy, Gold Alloy
• Coil Resistance: 178 Ohms
• Must Operate Voltage: 3.75 VDC
• Must Release Voltage: 0.5 VDC
• Operate Time: 2 ms
• Release Time: 1 ms

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as parametric equivalents and are directly substitutable in applications where the EE2-5NUX is specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EE2-5NU is a parametric equivalent to the EE2-5NUX, with all electrical and mechanical specifications matching exactly. Both parts maintain Active product status and carry identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and packaging requirements, as both components are functionally interchangeable in applications requiring 5VDC DPDT surface mount relays with 2A contact rating and gull wing termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EE2-5NU be used as a direct replacement for the EE2-5NUX?

A: Yes. The EE2-5NU meets all electrical and mechanical parameter specifications of the EE2-5NUX, including coil voltage, contact form, current rating, switching voltage, timing characteristics, and operating temperature range. Both parts are packaged in tubes and feature identical surface mount gull wing termination.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitutability for this relay?

A: Substitutability is determined by: 5VDC coil voltage, DPDT (2 Form C) contact form, 2A contact rating, 250VAC/220VDC switching voltage, 28mA coil current, non-latching coil type, surface mount mounting, gull wing termination, 178 Ohm coil resistance, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between EE2-5NUX and EE2-5NU?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance status, REACH unaffected designation, and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) rating.

Q: What is the difference between the EE2-5NUX and EE2-5NU part numbers?

A: The part numbers differ only in the suffix designation. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, making them parametric equivalents within the KEMET EE2 series.

Q: Can these relays be used in applications requiring switching at 250VAC?

A: Yes. Both the EE2-5NUX and EE2-5NU are rated for switching voltages up to 250VAC and 220VDC maximum, with a 2A contact rating.
