HC2E-H-AC200V-F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HC2E-H-AC200V-F is a general purpose relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, featuring a DPDT (2 Form C) contact configuration with a 200VAC coil voltage and 3A contact rating. This relay is designed for socketable mounting applications requiring sealed, fully enclosed operation. The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing maintenance, repair, and legacy system support where direct replacement or functional alternatives are required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HC2E-H-AC200V-F is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Contact Configuration: DPDT (2 Form C) contact form is mandatory for functional equivalence
• Coil Voltage: 200VAC nominal operation; substitutes must operate within the specified must-operate and must-release voltage windows
• Mounting Interface: Socketable mounting type with compatible pin configuration
• Coil Type: Non-latching operation required
• Contact Rating: Minimum 3A current handling capability
• Switching Voltage: Maximum 250VAC switching capability

The KUP-11A15-208 qualifies as a substitute based on matching contact form (DPDT), socketable mounting, non-latching coil type, and exceeding the minimum current rating (10A vs. 3A). The coil voltage differs (208VAC vs. 200VAC), but falls within acceptable operating parameters for AC relay substitution in industrial applications where nominal supply voltage variations are standard.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The KUP-11A15-208 is an active product with current manufacturing support and ROHS3 compliance, providing a viable substitute for the obsolete HC2E-H-AC200V-F in new designs and legacy system replacements. The 208VAC coil voltage is compatible with standard North American industrial power distribution (200V nominal systems typically operate at 208VAC). The higher contact rating (10A vs. 3A) provides additional margin for applications originally designed for the 3A relay. Faster switching times (15ms operate, 10ms release vs. 20ms each) may improve system response characteristics. Termination style differs (Quick Connect 0.187" vs. 8-pin plug), requiring socket adapter consideration or circuit board modification for direct substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the KUP-11A15-208 directly replace the HC2E-H-AC200V-F without modifications?

A: Functional substitution is possible; however, termination style differs. The HC2E-H-AC200V-F uses an 8-pin plug configuration, while the KUP-11A15-208 uses Quick Connect 0.187" terminals. Socket adapter compatibility or circuit board rework is required for direct mounting.

Q: Is the 208VAC coil voltage compatible with 200VAC systems?

A: Yes. The KUP-11A15-208 has a must-operate voltage of 176.8VAC, which is below the 200VAC nominal supply. Standard industrial power distribution tolerances accommodate this voltage relationship.

Q: What is the impact of the higher 10A contact rating on the original 3A application?

A: The higher current rating provides additional safety margin and does not negatively affect the application. The relay will perform identically for 3A loads.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these relays?

A: The KUP-11A15-208 is ROHS3 compliant and currently manufactured. The HC2E-H-AC200V-F is obsolete with unspecified compliance status. For new designs and regulated applications, the KUP-11A15-208 is the preferred choice.

Q: How do the switching times compare?

A: The KUP-11A15-208 operates faster (15ms vs. 20ms) and releases faster (10ms vs. 20ms). This may improve system response time but does not affect compatibility with applications designed for the original relay's timing.
