HS5E-C4003 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HS5E-C4003 is an interlock solenoid release switch manufactured by IDEC, designed for panel disconnect applications with DPST circuit configuration. This component operates at 24VDC supply voltage with a 2.5A current rating across both AC and DC loads, and provides a holding force of 102kgf. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HS5E-C4003 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: DPST-NO/NC + DPST-NC (must match exactly)
• Current Rating: 2.5A (AC/DC) (must match or exceed)
• Voltage Rating: 125VAC, 30VDC (must match or exceed)
• Supply Voltage: 24VDC (must match)
• Actuator Type: Panel Disconnect (must match)
• Ingress Protection: IP67 (must match or exceed)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (must maintain)

The HS5L-VC44M-G qualifies as a substitute because it maintains identical circuit configuration, current rating, voltage rating, supply voltage, actuator type, and ingress protection rating. Variations in holding force (143kgf vs. 102kgf), termination style (Spring Terminal vs. Cable Leads), operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 55°C vs. -25°C ~ 50°C), and approval agencies represent acceptable engineering differences that do not compromise functional equivalence for panel disconnect applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HS5L-VC44M-G is the designated substitute for the obsolete HS5E-C4003. Selection of this alternative is supported by the following factors:

• Active Product Status: The HS5L-VC44M-G maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance. The substitute carries expanded approval certifications (CCC, CE, TUV, UL) compared to the original part (CE, cURus, TUV), providing broader regulatory acceptance.
• Enhanced Performance Characteristics: The substitute provides increased holding force (143kgf vs. 102kgf) and extended operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 55°C vs. -25°C ~ 50°C), representing performance improvements over the original specification.
• Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters—circuit configuration, current rating, voltage rating, and supply voltage—remain identical, ensuring direct functional replacement in panel disconnect applications.

Termination style differs (Spring Terminal vs. Cable Leads), requiring mechanical integration assessment during implementation. This difference does not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HS5L-VC44M-G directly replace the HS5E-C4003 in existing installations?

A: Yes, the HS5L-VC44M-G provides direct functional replacement. The identical circuit configuration (DPST-NO/NC + DPST-NC), current rating (2.5A AC/DC), voltage rating (125VAC, 30VDC), and supply voltage (24VDC) ensure electrical compatibility. Mechanical integration requires assessment of the termination style change from Cable Leads to Spring Terminal.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Termination style—HS5E-C4003 uses Cable Leads while HS5L-VC44M-G uses Spring Terminal; (2) Holding force—HS5L-VC44M-G provides 143kgf versus 102kgf; (3) Operating temperature range—HS5L-VC44M-G extends to 55°C versus 50°C; (4) Product status—HS5L-VC44M-G is active production while HS5E-C4003 is obsolete. All other electrical and functional parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification concerns with substitution?

A: No. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance. The HS5L-VC44M-G carries additional certifications (CCC, UL) beyond the original part, providing expanded regulatory acceptance. All required approvals for panel disconnect applications are maintained.

Q: Does the increased holding force of the substitute create any compatibility issues?

A: No. Increased holding force represents an enhancement that does not compromise compatibility. The substitute maintains the same actuator type (Panel Disconnect) and operates within identical electrical parameters, making it suitable for all applications where the original part was specified.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to the HS5L-VC44M-G?

A: The HS5L-VC44M-G is supplied in Bulk packaging, compared to the original part's standard packaging. Verify bulk packaging requirements align with procurement and inventory management procedures before ordering.
