HC4-HPL-AC200V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HC4-HPL-AC200V is a general purpose relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, featuring a 4PDT (4 Form C) contact configuration with a 200VAC coil. This through-hole mounted relay is designed for applications requiring switching of multiple independent circuits at 5A contact rating and 250VAC maximum switching voltage. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for system maintenance, repair, and redesign applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HC4-HPL-AC200V is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Contact form must be 4PDT (4 Form C) to maintain circuit switching capability
• Coil voltage must be compatible with 200VAC supply (acceptable range: 200VAC ± tolerance)
• Contact rating must meet or exceed 5A minimum requirement
• Mounting type must be through-hole to ensure PCB compatibility
• Termination style must be PC pin for direct board integration

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Switching voltage rating must support 250VAC maximum operating condition
• Coil type must be non-latching for identical functional behavior
• Operating temperature range must encompass the application environment

The LY4-0-AC200/220 from Omron Automation and Safety qualifies as a substitute based on matching contact form (4PDT), compatible coil voltage (220VAC within acceptable AC supply tolerance), superior contact rating (10A exceeds 5A requirement), identical mounting type (through-hole), and matching termination style (PC pin).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LY4-0-AC200/220 is a functional substitute for the HC4-HPL-AC200V based on matching core electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute maintains identical contact form, mounting configuration, and termination style required for direct board-level replacement.

Key Selection Considerations:

The substitute operates at 220VAC coil voltage compared to the original 200VAC specification. This 20VAC difference is within standard AC supply tolerance ranges and does not present a compatibility issue for typical industrial applications.

The LY4-0-AC200/220 provides superior contact current rating (10A versus 5A), which offers increased margin for the application without adverse effects.

The substitute has marginally longer operate and release times (25ms versus 20ms), which may be relevant only in time-critical switching applications.

The substitute's operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 40°C) is narrower than the original (-50°C ~ 60°C). Applications requiring operation below -25°C or above 40°C must verify compatibility with the substitute's temperature limits.

The LY4-0-AC200/220 is currently in active production status, ensuring availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete HC4-HPL-AC200V.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LY4-0-AC200/220 directly replace the HC4-HPL-AC200V without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. Both relays share identical contact form (4PDT), mounting type (through-hole), and PC pin termination style, enabling direct board-level substitution without layout changes.

Q: Is the 220VAC coil voltage compatible with a 200VAC supply?

A: Yes. The 20VAC difference falls within standard AC supply tolerance ranges. The substitute's must-operate voltage of 176VAC confirms functionality at 200VAC supply levels.

Q: What is the impact of the substitute's higher contact current rating (10A versus 5A)?

A: The higher rating provides additional safety margin and does not negatively affect circuit performance. Applications designed for 5A operation will function correctly with the 10A-rated substitute.

Q: Does the substitute's longer switching time (25ms versus 20ms) affect system performance?

A: The 5ms difference is relevant only in applications requiring precise timing synchronization below 20ms. Standard industrial control applications are not affected by this margin.

Q: What are the temperature range implications for substitution?

A: The substitute operates from -25°C to 40°C, compared to the original's -50°C to 60°C range. Verify that your application environment falls within the substitute's limits. Applications requiring operation outside -25°C to 40°C require alternative solutions.

Q: Is the LY4-0-AC200/220 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The substitute is RoHS compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these relays?

A: The HC4-HPL-AC200V is supplied with standard packaging, while the LY4-0-AC200/220 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.
