HC2-PS-K Relay Socket 8 Position Through Hole - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HC2-PS-K is an 8-position through-hole relay socket manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, designed for use with HC2 series relays. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing maintenance, repair, and new design applications where HC2 relay compatibility is required or where alternative socket solutions are acceptable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the HC2-PS-K are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Number of Positions: 8 (direct match required for pin count compatibility)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (mechanical compatibility with PCB assembly)
• Termination Style: PC Pin (electrical connection method)
• Type: Socket (functional category)

Direct substitutes maintain all four of these parameters. Similar substitutes may differ in position count or relay series compatibility but share the same mounting and termination characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (8-Position Through Hole):

The 27E220 and PY08-02 are direct functional equivalents to the HC2-PS-K. Both parts maintain identical position count, mounting type, and termination style. Both substitute parts carry active product status and ROHS3 compliance, providing regulatory advantage over the obsolete HC2-PS-K. Selection between these two direct substitutes depends on relay series compatibility requirements: 27E220 is compatible with PT, PTH, and KHA series relays, while PY08-02 is designed for MY2 series relays.

Similar Substitute (14-Position Through Hole):

The 27E023 shares mounting type and termination style but differs in position count (14 versus 8). This part is suitable only for applications where 14-position socket functionality is acceptable or where pin count flexibility exists in the design. The 27E023 carries active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

All substitute parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications with the main part, indicating consistent export control and tariff treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 27E220 directly replace the HC2-PS-K in existing designs?

A: The 27E220 matches all critical parameters (8 positions, through-hole mounting, PC pin termination). However, the HC2-PS-K is designed for HC2 relays, while the 27E220 is designed for PT, PTH, and KHA series relays. Physical compatibility depends on relay footprint alignment. Verify relay series compatibility before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the 27E220 and PY08-02?

A: Both are 8-position through-hole sockets with PC pin termination and active product status. The primary difference is relay series compatibility: 27E220 is for PT, PTH, and KHA series relays, while PY08-02 is for MY2 series relays. Both carry ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings.

Q: Why is the 27E023 listed as a similar substitute rather than a direct substitute?

A: The 27E023 has 14 positions instead of 8. While it shares mounting type and termination style, the increased pin count makes it unsuitable for direct replacement in applications requiring exactly 8 positions. It is listed as a similar substitute for reference only.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 27E220, PY08-02, and 27E023 are all ROHS3 compliant. The HC2-PS-K compliance status is not specified in available data.

Q: What is the packaging format for substitute parts?

A: Both active substitute parts (27E220 and PY08-02) are supplied in tray packaging. The original HC2-PS-K packaging format is not specified.

Q: Do all parts share the same export control classification?

A: Yes. The HC2-PS-K, 27E220, PY08-02, and 27E023 all carry ECCN classification EAR99 and HTSUS code 8536.69.4040, indicating identical export control and tariff treatment.
