HC2-L-DC48V-D-F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HC2-L-DC48V-D-F is a general purpose relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, featuring a DPDT (2 Form C) contact configuration with 48VDC coil voltage and 7A contact rating. This socketable relay is designed for industrial control applications requiring reliable switching at 250VAC maximum switching voltage.

The HC2-L-DC48V-D-F is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system functionality and ensure continued availability for replacement and new designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the HC2-L-DC48V-D-F are identified based on the following critical parameters that must match or exceed the original specification:

• Coil voltage: 48VDC (exact match required)
• Contact form: DPDT (2 Form C) (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Socketable (exact match required)
• Coil type: Non Latching (exact match required)
• Switching voltage capability: 250VAC minimum
• Contact current rating: Equal to or greater than 7A
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass or exceed -50°C ~ 60°C
• Termination style: Plug In configuration

The MY2N-D2 DC48 (S) from Omron Automation and Safety meets these substitution criteria with the exception of contact current rating, which is rated at 5A versus the original 7A specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MY2N-D2 DC48 (S) is an active product from Omron Automation and Safety with RoHS compliance certification, making it suitable for applications requiring current environmental and regulatory standards. The primary consideration for substitution is the contact current rating differential: the MY2N-D2 DC48 (S) is rated at 5A versus the original 7A specification of the HC2-L-DC48V-D-F.

Applications operating at or below 5A continuous current can utilize the MY2N-D2 DC48 (S) as a direct substitute. All other electrical and mechanical parameters align with or exceed the original specification. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 70°C) of the substitute part provides additional thermal margin compared to the original (-50°C ~ 60°C).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MY2N-D2 DC48 (S) replace the HC2-L-DC48V-D-F in all applications?

A: The MY2N-D2 DC48 (S) is compatible with applications where the maximum continuous contact current does not exceed 5A. If your application requires the full 7A contact rating of the original part, the substitute is not suitable.

Q: Are the socketable mounting and plug-in termination styles compatible between these relays?

A: Both relays feature socketable mounting and plug-in termination. However, verify socket compatibility with your specific relay base or socket assembly, as different manufacturers may have proprietary socket designs.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance status of the MY2N-D2 DC48 (S)?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the substitute part meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations, making it suitable for applications and markets requiring environmental compliance. The original HC2-L-DC48V-D-F RoHS status is not specified in the available data.

Q: Are the coil resistance values close enough to ensure equivalent circuit behavior?

A: The coil resistance values are nearly identical (2.6 kOhms versus 2.56 kOhms), with a difference of less than 2%. This minimal variance ensures equivalent circuit behavior and coil current draw characteristics.

Q: Does the MY2N-D2 DC48 (S) support both 250VAC and 125VDC switching voltages?

A: Yes, the MY2N-D2 DC48 (S) is rated for 250VAC and 125VDC maximum switching voltage, providing broader voltage compatibility compared to the original specification of 250VAC only.
