HC2-HP-DC12V-F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HC2-HP-DC12V-F is a general purpose relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, featuring a DPDT (2 Form C) contact configuration with a 12VDC coil and 7A contact rating. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new designs requiring similar functionality.

The HC2-HP-DC12V-F operates through a non-latching coil mechanism with PC pin termination suitable for through-hole mounting applications. Its primary application domain includes general purpose switching circuits requiring dual-pole, dual-throw relay functionality at 12VDC.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HC2-HP-DC12V-F is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Coil Voltage: 12VDC
• Contact Form: DPDT (2 Form C)
• Coil Type: Non Latching
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination Style: PC Pin
• Coil Resistance: 160 Ohms
• Must Operate Voltage: 9.6 VDC
• Must Release Voltage: 1.2 VDC

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Contact Rating (Current): May be equal to or greater than 7A
• Switching Voltage: Must support minimum 250VAC
• Operating Temperature Range: May be narrower or equal to -50°C ~ 70°C
• Operate/Release Time: Minor variations acceptable within switching performance requirements

The substitute parts MY2-02-DC12 and LY2-0-DC12 meet all mandatory matching criteria. Variations in contact current rating and operating temperature ranges represent acceptable substitutions for applications where the original part's specifications exceed minimum requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MY2-02-DC12 (Direct Substitute): The MY2-02-DC12 is classified as a direct substitute and is currently in active production status. This part maintains identical coil voltage, contact form, coil current, and timing specifications as the HC2-HP-DC12V-F. The contact rating of 5A is lower than the original 7A specification; this part is suitable for applications where the load current does not exceed 5A. The MY2-02-DC12 carries RoHS Compliant certification and is available in bulk packaging with 876 units in stock.

LY2-0-DC12 (Similar Substitute): The LY2-0-DC12 is classified as a similar substitute and is currently in active production status. This part maintains identical coil voltage, contact form, and coil current specifications. The contact rating of 10A exceeds the original 7A specification, providing higher current capacity. Operating time and release time are 25ms compared to 20ms for the original part. The operating temperature range is narrower (-25°C ~ 55°C versus -50°C ~ 70°C). The LY2-0-DC12 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification and is available in bulk packaging with 1182 units in stock.

Selection between these substitutes depends on application current requirements and environmental operating temperature constraints. Both parts are manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety and maintain the same coil resistance and voltage thresholds as the original HC2-HP-DC12V-F.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MY2-02-DC12 replace HC2-HP-DC12V-F in all applications?

A: The MY2-02-DC12 is suitable for applications where the maximum contact current does not exceed 5A. If your circuit requires switching currents between 5A and 7A, the LY2-0-DC12 with its 10A rating is the appropriate choice.

Q: What is the difference between "Direct" and "Similar" substitute classifications?

A: MY2-02-DC12 is classified as a direct substitute because it maintains the same contact current rating specification as the original part (within acceptable tolerance). LY2-0-DC12 is classified as similar because its contact rating (10A) differs from the original (7A), though it remains functionally compatible for the same coil and contact form specifications.

Q: Are there temperature range limitations when substituting with LY2-0-DC12?

A: The LY2-0-DC12 has an operating temperature range of -25°C ~ 55°C, which is narrower than the original HC2-HP-DC12V-F range of -50°C ~ 70°C. Applications requiring operation below -25°C or above 55°C should use the MY2-02-DC12, which supports -55°C ~ 70°C.

Q: Do the substitute parts have the same coil resistance?

A: Yes. Both MY2-02-DC12 and LY2-0-DC12 maintain the same 160 Ohm coil resistance as the HC2-HP-DC12V-F, ensuring identical coil current draw (75 mA) and voltage threshold behavior (9.6 VDC must operate, 1.2 VDC must release).

Q: What are the compliance differences between substitute parts?

A: MY2-02-DC12 is RoHS Compliant. LY2-0-DC12 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both parts are REACH Unaffected and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99.

Q: Can I use these substitutes in new designs or only for replacement applications?

A: Both MY2-02-DC12 and LY2-0-DC12 are in active production status and are suitable for new design implementations. The HC2-HP-DC12V-F is obsolete and should not be specified for new designs.
