HL2-H-AC6V-F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HL2-H-AC6V-F is a general purpose relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, featuring DPDT (2 Form C) contact configuration with 10A contact rating and 6VAC coil voltage. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The relay operates with socketable mounting and quick-connect termination, suitable for applications requiring reliable switching at 125VAC nominal switching voltage.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HL2-H-AC6V-F is determined by the following critical parameters:

Coil Voltage: Must be 6VAC to ensure direct compatibility with existing control circuits
Contact Form: Must be DPDT (2 Form C) to maintain switching functionality
Mounting Type: Must be socketable to fit existing relay sockets
Termination Style: Must be Plug In, Quick Connect - 0.187" (4.7mm) for mechanical compatibility
Coil Type: Must be non-latching for equivalent operational behavior

The substitute parts K10P-11A15-6 and KUP-11A15-6 meet these core substitution criteria. However, variations in contact rating, switching voltage, coil current, and operating temperature range exist and must be evaluated for specific application requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

K10P-11A15-6: This substitute provides higher contact current rating (15A vs 10A) and maintains identical coil current (200 mA). The operating temperature range (-45°C ~ 70°C) is slightly narrower at the lower end compared to the main part. This part is active in production status but is RoHS non-compliant. Selection is appropriate for applications where the higher current rating provides design margin and RoHS compliance is not required.

KUP-11A15-6: This substitute matches the contact current rating (10A) of the main part and is ROHS3 compliant, supporting modern regulatory requirements. However, coil current is elevated (335 mA vs 200 mA), and the operating temperature range is more restricted (-45°C ~ 55°C). The higher switching voltage rating (240VAC max) provides additional application flexibility. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring RoHS compliance and where the elevated coil current and narrower temperature range are acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can K10P-11A15-6 directly replace HL2-H-AC6V-F in existing designs?

A: K10P-11A15-6 is mechanically and electrically compatible for socketable mounting applications. The identical coil voltage (6VAC), contact form (DPDT), and termination style (0.187" quick connect) ensure physical fit and control circuit compatibility. The higher contact rating (15A) is backward compatible with 10A applications. Verify that the operating temperature range (-45°C ~ 70°C) meets application requirements and that RoHS non-compliance is acceptable for your system.

Q: What are the differences between K10P-11A15-6 and KUP-11A15-6?

A: Both parts share 6VAC coil voltage, DPDT contact form, and socketable mounting. K10P-11A15-6 has 15A contact rating with 200 mA coil current and RoHS non-compliance. KUP-11A15-6 has 10A contact rating (matching the main part) with 335 mA coil current and ROHS3 compliance. KUP-11A15-6 supports higher switching voltage (240VAC max) but operates within a narrower temperature range (-45°C ~ 55°C).

Q: Is coil current difference significant between substitutes?

A: Yes. The main part and K10P-11A15-6 both require 200 mA coil current, while KUP-11A15-6 requires 335 mA. This 67.5% increase in KUP-11A15-6 affects control circuit design, particularly in low-power applications or systems with current-limited supplies. Verify that your control circuit can supply the higher current before selecting KUP-11A15-6.

Q: Which substitute is recommended for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory and performance requirements. KUP-11A15-6 is recommended for applications requiring RoHS compliance and where the 335 mA coil current and -45°C ~ 55°C temperature range are acceptable. K10P-11A15-6 is suitable when RoHS non-compliance is permissible and the 200 mA coil current matches existing control circuits.

Q: Are operating temperature ranges critical for substitution?

A: Operating temperature range must be evaluated against application requirements. The main part supports -50°C ~ 70°C. K10P-11A15-6 supports -45°C ~ 70°C (acceptable for most industrial applications). KUP-11A15-6 supports -45°C ~ 55°C (more restricted). If your application requires operation below -45°C or above 55°C, verify compatibility before selection.
