HL2-PL-DC12V-F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HL2-PL-DC12V-F is a general purpose relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, featuring a DPDT (2 Form C) contact configuration with a 12VDC coil and 10A contact rating. This through-hole mounted relay is designed for applications requiring reliable switching of AC and DC circuits. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for system maintenance, repair, and redesign applications where continued availability is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HL2-PL-DC12V-F is determined by the following critical parameters that must be matched or exceeded:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Coil Voltage: 12VDC
• Contact Form: DPDT (2 Form C)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination Style: PC Pin
• Coil Type: Non Latching

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Contact Rating (Current): Substitute must equal or exceed 10A
• Coil Current: Must be compatible with existing drive circuitry (75 mA nominal)
• Coil Resistance: 160 Ohms nominal
• Must Operate Voltage: Substitute must operate at or below 9.6 VDC
• Must Release Voltage: Substitute must release at or below 1.2 VDC
• Operating Temperature Range: Substitute must cover or exceed the -50°C ~ 60°C range
• Switching Voltage: Substitute must handle 125VAC or higher

The K10P-11D55-12 from TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays meets all mandatory parameters and exceeds performance specifications in contact rating (15A vs. 10A) and switching voltage capability (120VAC Max vs. 125VAC Nom).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The K10P-11D55-12 is a direct functional substitute for the HL2-PL-DC12V-F. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both relays share identical coil voltage, contact configuration, coil current, and termination characteristics, enabling direct replacement in existing PCB designs without circuit modification.

The K10P-11D55-12 provides performance enhancements over the original part: increased contact rating (15A vs. 10A), faster switching response times (13ms operate vs. 25ms, 10ms release vs. 25ms), and an extended upper operating temperature limit (70°C vs. 60°C). The substitute operates at a lower must-operate voltage (9VDC vs. 9.6VDC), providing improved sensitivity to coil drive signals.

Compliance considerations: The K10P-11D55-12 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. If RoHS compliance is required for the application, alternative substitutes must be evaluated. Both parts share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification (8536.41.0050).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the K10P-11D55-12 be used as a direct replacement for the HL2-PL-DC12V-F without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. Both relays have identical through-hole PC pin termination, matching coil voltage (12VDC), contact configuration (DPDT), and coil current (75 mA). No circuit redesign is required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference in contact rating between these relays?

A: The HL2-PL-DC12V-F is rated for 10A maximum contact current, while the K10P-11D55-12 is rated for 15A. The substitute can handle higher switching currents, making it suitable for applications requiring increased current capacity.

Q: How do the switching times compare?

A: The K10P-11D55-12 operates faster than the original part. Operate time is 13ms (vs. 25ms) and release time is 10ms (vs. 25ms). Applications with timing-critical switching requirements will benefit from the faster response of the substitute.

Q: Are there temperature range differences?

A: The K10P-11D55-12 operates across -45°C ~ 70°C, compared to the HL2-PL-DC12V-F range of -50°C ~ 60°C. The substitute provides a higher maximum operating temperature but a slightly higher minimum temperature. For applications requiring operation below -45°C, the original specification must be verified.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The HL2-PL-DC12V-F packaging is not specified. The K10P-11D55-12 is supplied in tray packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences?

A: The K10P-11D55-12 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected, whereas the HL2-PL-DC12V-F compliance status is not specified. If RoHS compliance is mandatory for your application, alternative substitutes must be evaluated.

Q: What is the difference in contact material?

A: The HL2-PL-DC12V-F uses Silver Tin Oxide (AgSnO) contacts, while the K10P-11D55-12 uses Silver Cadmium Oxide (AgCdO). Both materials are suitable for general purpose relay applications with similar electrical characteristics.
