HL2-SS-K Relay Socket Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HL2-SS-K is an 8-position panel mount relay socket manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, designed for use with HL2 series relays. This component provides a standardized interface for relay installation and removal in control panel applications. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for maintenance, repair, and legacy system support. Equivalent sockets must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure proper relay seating, signal integrity, and panel integration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HL2-SS-K is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Number of Positions: 8 positions (electrical contact count)
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount (physical installation method)
• Termination Style: Solder Lug (PCB connection method)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited) (environmental tolerance)
• HTSUS Classification: 8536.69.4030 (regulatory alignment)

The PT08 relay socket from Omron Automation and Safety meets all substitution criteria. Both components share identical electrical contact configuration, mounting methodology, and environmental specifications, enabling direct functional replacement in HL2 relay applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PT08 socket from Omron Automation and Safety is a direct functional equivalent to the HL2-SS-K. Both components satisfy identical electrical and mechanical requirements for 8-position panel mount relay socket applications.

The PT08 offers the additional advantage of active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The PT08 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for new installations and system upgrades.

For legacy system maintenance where original HL2-SS-K components are unavailable, the PT08 provides equivalent performance without modification to existing panel layouts or relay interface designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PT08 socket directly replace the HL2-SS-K in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both sockets maintain identical 8-position contact configuration, panel mount geometry, and solder lug termination. No mechanical or electrical modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What determines compatibility between relay sockets and relay types?

A: Compatibility is established through matching contact position count, mounting interface, and termination method. The HL2-SS-K and PT08 both support 8-position relay configurations with identical mechanical interfaces.

Q: Are there environmental or compliance differences between these sockets?

A: Both sockets carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. The PT08 includes ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing alignment with current environmental regulations. The HL2-SS-K specifications do not document these certifications.

Q: Why is the HL2-SS-K listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The PT08 remains in active production, making it the preferred choice for new procurement and system maintenance.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations for component selection?

A: Both components are available in bulk packaging. Verify current inventory levels with your supplier, as availability may vary based on order timing and regional distribution.
