HC2E-L-AC100V-F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HC2E-L-AC100V-F is a general purpose relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, featuring a DPDT (2 Form C) contact configuration with a 100VAC coil. This socketable relay is designed for applications requiring 3A contact rating at switching voltages up to 250VAC. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for system maintenance and component replacement in legacy installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The G2R-2-SN AC110(S) from Omron Automation and Safety qualifies as a substitute based on the following critical parameters:

Functional Equivalence Criteria:

• Contact configuration: Both feature DPDT (2 Form C) contact form
• Coil voltage compatibility: 110VAC coil voltage is within acceptable operating range of 100VAC specification (Must Operate Voltage: 80VAC minimum)
• Mounting compatibility: Both are socketable relays with plug-in termination
• Coil type: Both are non-latching general purpose relays
• Seal rating: Substitute maintains sealed construction

Electrical Performance Compatibility:

• Contact rating: Substitute 5A exceeds minimum 3A requirement
• Switching voltage: Substitute 380VAC/125VDC maximum exceeds 250VAC requirement
• Operating temperature: Substitute range -40°C ~ 70°C encompasses original -40°C ~ 60°C range

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The G2R-2-SN AC110(S) is suitable for direct substitution in applications currently using the HC2E-L-AC100V-F. The substitute part maintains active product status with RoHS3 compliance and REACH compliance, providing long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The 110VAC coil voltage operates within the must-operate voltage window of the original specification. The substitute's enhanced electrical ratings (5A contact current, 380VAC switching voltage) provide margin above the original 3A/250VAC specification. Faster switching times (15ms vs 20ms) represent improved performance characteristics. Physical compatibility is maintained through socketable mounting and plug-in termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the G2R-2-SN AC110(S) directly replace the HC2E-L-AC100V-F in existing sockets?

A: Yes. Both relays feature socketable mounting with plug-in termination, enabling direct socket compatibility. The 8-pin configuration is standard for this relay class.

Q: Is the 110VAC coil voltage compatible with 100VAC supply circuits?

A: Yes. The substitute's must-operate voltage of 88VAC is below the 100VAC supply, and the must-release voltage of 33VAC is above the minimum release threshold. The 10VAC difference falls within acceptable operating margins for general purpose relay applications.

Q: What are the key differences in electrical performance?

A: The substitute provides higher contact current rating (5A vs 3A) and higher switching voltage capability (380VAC/125VDC vs 250VAC). Coil current is lower (8.2mA vs 12mA), and switching times are faster (15ms vs 20ms). These represent performance improvements over the original specification.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences?

A: Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification. The substitute is RoHS3 compliant and REACH affected, providing current regulatory alignment. The original part's compliance status is not specified in available data.

Q: What is the operating temperature consideration?

A: The substitute's operating range (-40°C ~ 70°C) exceeds the original (-40°C ~ 60°C), providing 10°C additional high-temperature margin. This represents an advantage for thermal margin in applications.
