G3MC-101PL DC5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The G3MC-101PL DC5 is a solid-state relay (SSR) manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety, configured as a SPST-NO (1 Form A) device in a 4-SIP package. This component operates with a 4–6VDC input and controls AC loads up to 1A at 75–132V. The product is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent alternatives for ongoing system maintenance and new designs requiring compatible functionality.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

G3CN-202PL1 DC5 (Omron – Manufacturer Recommended)

This part is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. It maintains Omron product lineage and shares identical input voltage specifications (4–6VDC) and package configuration (4-SIP, Through Hole, PC Pin). The G3CN-202PL1 DC5 extends load voltage capability to 264V and increases current rating to 2A, providing enhanced operational margin. Product status is active with ROHS3 compliance certification.

AQG12105 and AQG12205 (Panasonic Electric Works – Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives)

Both Panasonic AQ-G series parts maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original G3MC-101PL DC5. They preserve the 1A load current specification, support 4–6VDC input, and are packaged in 4-SIP through-hole configuration. Load voltage range extends to 264V. Both parts carry active product status and ROHS3 compliance. AQG12105 includes zero-cross switching capability; AQG12205 provides standard AC output. Selection between these alternatives depends on zero-cross switching requirements for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the G3CN-202PL1 DC5 directly replace the G3MC-101PL DC5?

A: Yes. The G3CN-202PL1 DC5 meets all core substitution criteria: identical circuit configuration (SPST-NO), input voltage (4–6VDC), package (4-SIP), mounting type (Through Hole), and termination style (PC Pin). The increased current rating (2A vs. 1A) and extended load voltage range (75–264V vs. 75–132V) provide operational compatibility with equal or greater capability.

Q: What is the difference between AQG12105 and AQG12205?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the G3MC-101PL DC5. The primary distinction is output type: AQG12105 includes zero-cross switching functionality, while AQG12205 provides standard AC output. Selection depends on whether zero-cross switching is required for load control in the application.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: All substitute parts use 4-SIP through-hole packages with PC pin termination, matching the original G3MC-101PL DC5 mechanical footprint. Packaging format (Bulk or Tube) varies by supplier but does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Why is the G3MC-101PL DC5 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured by Omron. The identified substitutes—particularly the G3CN-202PL1 DC5 from the same manufacturer—provide active product alternatives with equivalent or enhanced specifications.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with higher current rating (2A) in a 1A application?

A: Yes. A component rated for higher current can operate safely at lower current levels. The G3CN-202PL1 DC5 (2A rating) is suitable for applications requiring 1A or less.
