Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The G6C-2117P-US-DC3 qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the G6C-2117C-US DC3 based on strict alignment of electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts share identical values across all critical substitution parameters:

• Coil voltage: 3VDC
• Contact configuration: DPST-NO/NC (1 Form A, 1 Form B)
• Current rating: 8 A
• Switching voltage: 380VAC, 125VDC - Max
• Coil current: 67 mA
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Operating temperature range: -25°C ~ 70°C
• Coil resistance: 45 Ohms
• Contact material: Silver Alloy, Cadmium Free

The primary difference between these parts is packaging format: the main part uses tape-and-reel packaging, while the substitute uses bulk packaging. Both parts belong to the G6C series and maintain identical functional and electrical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the G6C-2117C-US DC3 and G6C-2117P-US-DC3 are active products from Omron Electronics Inc-EMC Div with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

The G6C-2117C-US DC3 is suitable for automated assembly processes requiring tape-and-reel packaging format. The G6C-2117P-US-DC3 is appropriate for manual assembly or applications where bulk packaging is preferred. The G6C-2117P-US-DC3 offers higher inventory availability with 2085 units in stock compared to 944 units for the main part.

Both parts comply with RoHS requirements. The G6C-2117P-US-DC3 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Affected status, providing additional regulatory documentation for applications requiring enhanced compliance tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can G6C-2117P-US-DC3 be used as a direct replacement for G6C-2117C-US DC3?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: tape-and-reel versus bulk. Direct substitution is valid for through-hole PCB assembly applications.

Q: What is the difference between tape-and-reel and bulk packaging?

A: Tape-and-reel packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging contains loose components suitable for manual assembly or alternative handling methods. Both formats contain the same relay component.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The G6C-2117P-US-DC3 carries ROHS3 compliance designation and is marked as REACH Affected, providing additional regulatory documentation for specific procurement requirements.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: coil voltage (3VDC), contact form (DPST-NO/NC), current rating (8A), switching voltage (380VAC, 125VDC - Max), mounting type (Through Hole), and termination style (PC Pin).

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume production?

A: The G6C-2117P-US-DC3 offers greater inventory availability (2085 units) and is suitable for both automated and manual assembly processes. The G6C-2117C-US DC3 is optimized for automated assembly lines using tape-and-reel compatible equipment.
