HC2-HP-AC48V-F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HC2-HP-AC48V-F is a general purpose relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, featuring a DPDT (2 Form C) contact configuration with a 48VAC coil. This through-hole mounted relay is rated for 7A at 250VAC maximum switching voltage and operates across a temperature range of -50°C to 70°C. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for system maintenance, repair, and redesign applications where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HC2-HP-AC48V-F is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Coil Voltage: 48VAC (exact match required)
• Contact Form: DPDT (2 Form C) configuration (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Termination Style: PC Pin (exact match required)
• Coil Type: Non Latching (exact match required)
• Contact Rating (Current): Minimum 7A (equal or greater acceptable)
• Switching Voltage: 250VAC maximum or higher (equal or greater acceptable)
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass or exceed -50°C to 70°C

The Weidmüller 8693340000 satisfies all critical substitution criteria. It maintains identical coil voltage, contact form, mounting type, termination style, and coil type. The contact rating of 8A exceeds the 7A requirement, and the switching voltage specification of 250VAC matches the original. The operating temperature range of -40°C to 70°C covers the upper portion of the original specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Weidmüller 8693340000 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete HC2-HP-AC48V-F. Both components share identical electrical specifications for coil voltage, contact configuration, and switching voltage. The Weidmüller part offers improved performance characteristics, including lower coil current (15.6 mA versus 25 mA) and faster switching times (7 ms operate, 2 ms release versus 20 ms for both operations on the original).

The Weidmüller component carries Active product status and is RoHS Compliant, providing assurance of ongoing availability and environmental compliance. Both parts maintain EAR99 export classification and identical HTSUS coding, confirming regulatory equivalence.

The operating temperature range of the Weidmüller part (-40°C to 70°C) covers the upper portion of the original specification. Applications requiring operation below -40°C should evaluate this limitation against system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Weidmüller 8693340000 directly replace the HC2-HP-AC48V-F in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both components feature identical through-hole PC pin termination, DPDT contact configuration, and 48VAC coil voltage. No circuit modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the lower coil current in the Weidmüller part?

A: The Weidmüller 8693340000 requires 15.6 mA coil current compared to 25 mA for the original. This represents reduced power consumption and heat generation, which may improve system efficiency. Existing drive circuits designed for 25 mA will operate the Weidmüller part without issue.

Q: Are there temperature range limitations when substituting?

A: The Weidmüller part operates from -40°C to 70°C, compared to -50°C to 70°C for the original. Applications requiring operation below -40°C should verify compatibility with system environmental specifications.

Q: What is the difference between Silver Alloy and Silver Nickel contact materials?

A: Both materials are suitable for general purpose relay applications at the specified current and voltage ratings. Silver Nickel (AgNi) offers enhanced wear resistance and is commonly used in industrial relay designs. The contact material difference does not affect functional substitution for this application.

Q: Is the Weidmüller part RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Weidmüller 8693340000 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The HC2-HP-AC48V-F was supplied with standard packaging. The Weidmüller 8693340000 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.
