Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FCA-410-1522M and FCA-410-BY3 are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine within the FCA-410 series. Both components share identical electrical specifications, mechanical characteristics, and regulatory compliance status.

Selection between these parts is based on availability and procurement requirements. The FCA-410-1522M currently maintains 1106 units in inventory stock, while the FCA-410-BY3 maintains 1011 units in inventory stock. Both parts carry RoHS non-compliant status, REACH Unaffected designation, and EAR99 export classification.

The hermetically sealed construction with silver cadmium oxide contacts, combined with the -70°C to 125°C operating temperature range, qualifies both components for aerospace, defense, and marine applications. The 28VDC coil voltage, 4PDT contact configuration, and 10-ampere contact rating establish these relays as direct functional equivalents for 28VDC control circuits requiring four independent switching poles.
