HC2-HP-AC115V-F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HC2-HP-AC115V-F is a general purpose relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, featuring a DPDT (2 Form C) contact configuration with a 115VAC coil and 7A contact rating. This through-hole mounted relay is designed for industrial control applications requiring reliable switching of AC loads up to 250VAC.

The HC2-HP-AC115V-F is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system functionality, ensure continued availability for repairs and new designs, and support long-term product lifecycle management.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HC2-HP-AC115V-F is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Contact Form: DPDT (2 Form C)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination Style: PC Pin
• Coil Type: Non Latching
• Relay Type: General Purpose

Compatible Operating Parameters:

• Coil Voltage: 115VAC or 120VAC (within acceptable tolerance range)
• Contact Rating (Current): Equal to or greater than 7A
• Switching Voltage: 250VAC or higher
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass or exceed -50°C ~ 70°C
• Contact Material: Silver-based alloys without cadmium

The substitute parts identified—MY2-02-AC110/120 and LY2-0-AC110/120—satisfy the mandatory matching parameters and operate within compatible electrical specifications. Both are manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety and maintain active product status with RoHS compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MY2-02-AC110/120 (Direct Substitute): This relay is classified as a direct substitute based on matching contact form, mounting type, termination style, and coil type. The 120VAC coil voltage is compatible with 115VAC applications within standard industrial tolerance. The MY2-02-AC110/120 operates with lower coil current (8.4 mA vs. 11.4 mA), reducing power consumption. However, the contact rating is 5A, which is lower than the HC2-HP-AC115V-F's 7A rating. This substitute is suitable for applications where the actual load current does not exceed 5A. The MY2-02-AC110/120 is active, RoHS compliant, and maintains the same switching voltage and response times as the original part.

LY2-0-AC110/120 (Similar Substitute): This relay is classified as a similar substitute, offering a higher contact rating of 10A, which exceeds the HC2-HP-AC115V-F's 7A specification. The LY2-0-AC110/120 maintains DPDT contact form, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. The operating temperature range is -25°C ~ 55°C, which is narrower than the original part's -50°C ~ 70°C range. Response times are slightly longer (25 ms vs. 20 ms). The LY2-0-AC110/120 is active and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for applications requiring higher current capacity within the specified temperature limits.

Both substitutes are manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety, an established supplier of industrial relays, and carry active product status with RoHS compliance certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MY2-02-AC110/120 directly replace the HC2-HP-AC115V-F in all applications?

A: The MY2-02-AC110/120 is mechanically and electrically compatible in terms of contact form, mounting, and termination. However, its 5A contact rating is lower than the HC2-HP-AC115V-F's 7A rating. Substitution is valid only if the actual load current does not exceed 5A. Applications requiring the full 7A capacity must use the LY2-0-AC110/120 or equivalent higher-rated alternative.

Q: Is the 120VAC coil voltage compatible with 115VAC supply?

A: Yes. The 120VAC coil voltage is compatible with 115VAC supply within standard industrial tolerance. Both the MY2-02-AC110/120 and LY2-0-AC110/120 are rated for 120VAC coils and will operate reliably on 115VAC supplies. The must-operate voltage specifications (96 VAC for both substitutes) confirm this compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the MY2-02-AC110/120 and LY2-0-AC110/120?

A: The primary difference is contact rating: MY2-02-AC110/120 is rated for 5A, while LY2-0-AC110/120 is rated for 10A. The LY2-0-AC110/120 has slightly longer response times (25 ms vs. 20 ms) and a narrower operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 55°C vs. -55°C ~ 70°C). Select based on your application's current requirements and environmental temperature constraints.

Q: Are both substitute relays RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the MY2-02-AC110/120 and LY2-0-AC110/120 are RoHS compliant. The original HC2-HP-AC115V-F is cadmium-free, and both substitutes use silver-based contact materials without restricted substances.

Q: Can these relays be used in applications requiring the full -50°C ~ 70°C temperature range?

A: The MY2-02-AC110/120 supports -55°C ~ 70°C, which exceeds the original specification and is suitable for full-range applications. The LY2-0-AC110/120 operates only within -25°C ~ 55°C, which is narrower than the original range. For applications requiring the full -50°C ~ 70°C range, the MY2-02-AC110/120 is the appropriate choice.

Q: What is the MSL rating, and does it affect substitution?

A: Both the original part and substitutes carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. This parameter does not affect substitution eligibility and allows storage and handling without special moisture control measures.
