HC1-HL-DC6V-F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HC1-HL-DC6V-F is a general purpose relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, featuring a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) contact configuration with a 6VDC coil and 10A contact rating. This socketable relay includes a lighted indicator and is designed for plug-in termination applications. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for system maintenance, repair, and redesign applications where continued functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HC1-HL-DC6V-F is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Coil Voltage: 6VDC
• Contact Form: SPDT (1 Form C)
• Contact Rating: 10 A minimum
• Mounting Type: Socketable
• Termination Style: Plug In compatible
• Coil Type: Non Latching

Allowable Variations:

• Switching Voltage: Substitute must meet or exceed 250VAC maximum rating
• Operating Temperature Range: Substitute must cover the required operating envelope
• Coil Current: May vary within design constraints
• Operate/Release Time: May vary within acceptable switching performance parameters
• Product Status: Active status preferred for long-term availability

The G2R-1-SN DC6(S) from Omron Automation and Safety meets all mandatory matching parameters and exceeds performance specifications in switching voltage capability and operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The G2R-1-SN DC6(S) is the qualified substitute for the HC1-HL-DC6V-F based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Compatibility: Both relays share identical coil voltage (6VDC), contact configuration (SPDT), and current rating (10A), ensuring direct functional replacement in socketable applications.

Performance Enhancement: The Omron substitute provides superior switching voltage capability (440VAC/125VDC versus 250VAC), faster switching response times (15ms operate, 10ms release versus 20ms each), and lower coil current draw (87mA versus 150mA), resulting in reduced power consumption and improved system efficiency.

Product Lifecycle: The G2R-1-SN DC6(S) maintains active product status with RoHS compliance certification, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment for new designs and ongoing production support.

Thermal Performance: The extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 70°C) of the Omron substitute accommodates broader environmental conditions compared to the original part (-50°C to 60°C).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the G2R-1-SN DC6(S) directly replace the HC1-HL-DC6V-F in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both relays are socketable with plug-in termination, identical coil voltage and contact configuration, and matching 10A current ratings. The Omron substitute meets all functional requirements for direct socket replacement.

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

A: The primary differences are coil current (87mA versus 150mA), switching response times (faster in the Omron part), and maximum switching voltage capability (440VAC/125VDC versus 250VAC). The Omron substitute also offers RoHS compliance and active product status.

Q: Does the lower coil current of the G2R-1-SN DC6(S) affect circuit design?

A: The lower coil current (87mA) of the Omron substitute reduces power consumption and may allow use of lower-rated drive circuits. Existing circuits designed for the 150mA requirement will operate without issue, as the substitute draws less current.

Q: Are there packaging or termination compatibility concerns?

A: Both relays feature socketable mounting with plug-in termination. The Omron part offers additional quick-connect 0.187" (4.7mm) termination options, providing greater flexibility while maintaining compatibility with standard plug-in sockets.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance status?

A: The G2R-1-SN DC6(S) is RoHS compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions. This is relevant for applications subject to environmental and regulatory compliance mandates.
