Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HC1E-HP-DC48V-F is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

• Coil voltage: 48VDC (exact match required)
• Contact configuration: SPDT (1 Form C) (exact match required)
• Contact current rating: 5 A (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Termination style: PC Pin (exact match required)
• Coil type: Non Latching (exact match required)

The PE014048 manufactured by TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays satisfies all mandatory substitution criteria. This part maintains functional equivalence across all core electrical and mechanical parameters while offering improved performance characteristics and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PE014048 is the qualified equivalent substitute for the HC1E-HP-DC48V-F. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status satisfy current regulatory requirements
• All mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification
• Enhanced operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 60°C) provides extended operational capability
• Improved switching voltage rating (400VAC versus 250VAC) offers greater application flexibility
• Reduced coil current (4.4 mA versus 18.5 mA) decreases power consumption in control circuits

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PE014048 be used as a direct replacement for the HC1E-HP-DC48V-F in existing applications?

A: Yes. The PE014048 meets all mandatory substitution criteria: identical 48VDC coil voltage, SPDT contact configuration, 5A contact rating, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. Both relays are non-latching with sealed construction and operate within compatible voltage thresholds.

Q: What are the key differences between these two relays?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), coil current consumption (18.5 mA versus 4.4 mA), operating temperature range (-40°C to 60°C versus -40°C to 85°C), and regulatory compliance (PE014048 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected). The PE014048 also features a higher maximum switching voltage (400VAC versus 250VAC).

Q: Are there any timing differences that would affect circuit operation?

A: The PE014048 has slightly faster operate time (8 ms versus 10 ms) and slightly slower release time (8 ms versus 5 ms). These differences are within typical relay tolerance ranges and should not impact standard control circuit applications. Circuit-specific timing requirements must be verified against application specifications.

Q: What is the difference in coil resistance between these relays?

A: The HC1E-HP-DC48V-F has a coil resistance of 2.6 kOhms, while the PE014048 has 10.97 kOhms. This difference reflects the lower coil current requirement of the PE014048 (4.4 mA versus 18.5 mA). Both relays operate from the same 48VDC supply and will function correctly in circuits designed for either specification.

Q: Does packaging affect the substitution decision?

A: Packaging format (tube for PE014048 versus unspecified for HC1E-HP-DC48V-F) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Packaging selection depends on procurement, storage, and assembly process requirements rather than functional equivalence.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations for using the PE014048?

A: The PE014048 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, making it suitable for applications subject to current environmental and regulatory standards. The original HC1E-HP-DC48V-F compliance status is not specified in available documentation.
