HC3-HP-AC200V-F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HC3-HP-AC200V-F is a general purpose relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, featuring a 3PDT (3 Form C) contact configuration with a 200VAC coil. This through-hole mounted relay is designed for applications requiring switching of multiple independent circuits at 7A contact rating and 250VAC maximum switching voltage. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing maintenance, repair, and legacy system support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HC3-HP-AC200V-F is determined by the following critical parameters:

Contact Configuration: The 3PDT (3 Form C) contact form is mandatory for functional equivalence, as it provides three independent switching circuits with changeover capability.

Coil Voltage Class: The 200VAC coil voltage establishes the primary control signal requirement. Substitutes within the 200VAC to 220VAC range are acceptable due to standard industrial voltage tolerance bands (±10%).

Contact Rating: The 7A contact current rating establishes the minimum switching capacity. Substitutes with equal or higher current ratings (10A) are electrically compatible and provide improved margin.

Switching Voltage: The 250VAC maximum switching voltage defines the load circuit capability. Substitutes meeting or exceeding this specification maintain compatibility.

Mounting and Termination: Through-hole mounting with PC pin termination ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing PCB designs.

Coil Type: Non-latching operation is required for standard relay functionality in momentary switching applications.

The LY3-0-AC200/220 from Omron Automation and Safety meets all critical substitution criteria while offering active product status and enhanced specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LY3-0-AC200/220 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete HC3-HP-AC200V-F based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Equivalence: Both relays provide identical 3PDT contact configuration and non-latching coil operation, ensuring direct functional replacement in control circuits.

Voltage Compatibility: The 220VAC coil voltage of the LY3-0-AC200/220 operates within standard industrial tolerance of the original 200VAC specification, with must-operate and must-release voltages (176VAC and 66VAC respectively) confirming reliable operation across the voltage range.

Enhanced Current Rating: The 10A contact rating of the LY3-0-AC200/220 exceeds the original 7A specification, providing additional switching capacity and operational margin without circuit modification.

Compliance Status: The LY3-0-AC200/220 is an active product with RoHS compliance certification, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment for new designs and legacy system updates.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical through-hole mounting and PC pin termination enable direct PCB substitution without layout or assembly changes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LY3-0-AC200/220 directly replace the HC3-HP-AC200V-F without circuit modification?

A: Yes. Both relays share identical contact configuration (3PDT), coil type (non-latching), mounting style (through-hole), and termination (PC pin). The 220VAC coil voltage operates within standard industrial tolerance of the 200VAC original specification.

Q: What is the voltage tolerance for coil operation?

A: The LY3-0-AC200/220 must operate at 176VAC minimum and must release at 66VAC maximum. In a 200VAC system, this provides adequate operational margin. Verify actual circuit voltage before installation.

Q: Does the higher 10A contact rating of the substitute affect circuit operation?

A: No. The 10A rating of the LY3-0-AC200/220 is a maximum specification. The relay operates identically at the original 7A load current, with improved reliability margin and reduced contact wear.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the original and substitute?

A: The HC3-HP-AC200V-F was supplied in standard packaging. The LY3-0-AC200/220 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both use identical through-hole PC pin termination suitable for standard PCB assembly.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference between these relays?

A: The HC3-HP-AC200V-F operates from -50°C to 70°C, while the LY3-0-AC200/220 operates from -25°C to 55°C. For applications requiring the full -50°C lower temperature range, verify that the substitute meets specific environmental requirements.

Q: Is the LY3-0-AC200/220 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The LY3-0-AC200/220 is RoHS compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components in most markets.
