HS5E-C44L05-G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HS5E-C44L05-G is an interlock solenoid release switch manufactured by IDEC, classified as a DPST (Double Pole Single Throw) device with combined NO/NC and NC circuits. This component is designed for panel disconnect applications with a 24VDC supply voltage and 143kgf holding force. The part is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing system maintenance and new installations where legacy compatibility is not required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HS5E-C44L05-G is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (DPST-NO/NC + DPST-NC)
• Current rating (2.5A AC/DC)
• Voltage rating (125VAC, 30VDC)
• Supply voltage (24VDC)
• Holding force (143kgf)
• Actuator type (Panel Disconnect)
• Ingress protection (IP67)
• Operating temperature range compatibility
• RoHS compliance status

The HS5L-VC44LM-G qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. This part remains in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HS5L-VC44LM-G is the qualified substitute for the obsolete HS5E-C44L05-G. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

• All critical electrical parameters match exactly: circuit configuration, current rating, voltage rating, and supply voltage
• Mechanical parameters are equivalent: holding force, actuator type, and ingress protection rating
• The substitute maintains ROHS3 compliance and carries active product status, ensuring availability and regulatory alignment
• Operating temperature range of the substitute (-25°C to 55°C) exceeds the original part specification (-25°C to 50°C), providing enhanced thermal margin
• Both parts carry equivalent international approvals (CCC, CE, TUV)

The primary design difference is termination style: the original uses cable leads while the substitute uses spring terminals. This difference requires mechanical integration assessment during installation but does not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HS5L-VC44LM-G directly replace the HS5E-C44L05-G in existing installations?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters. However, the termination style differs (cable leads versus spring terminal), requiring mechanical integration review for your specific installation.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: The substitute part is in active production, ensuring long-term supply availability, ongoing technical support, and compliance with current regulatory standards. The original part is no longer manufactured.

Q: Are there differences in operating temperature ranges?

A: The substitute operates across -25°C to 55°C, compared to the original -25°C to 50°C. This represents an extended upper temperature limit and does not restrict compatibility in applications within the original temperature range.

Q: Do both parts carry the same regulatory approvals?

A: Both parts carry CCC, CE, and TUV approvals. The original additionally lists cURus certification. The substitute carries UL certification. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the difference between cable leads and spring terminal termination?

A: Cable leads provide pre-attached wiring for direct connection, while spring terminals require manual wire insertion. Selection depends on your assembly and integration requirements.
