HS5E-VA4401-G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HS5E-VA4401-G is an interlock solenoid release switch manufactured by IDEC, classified as a DPST (Double Pole Single Throw) switch with dual NO/NC circuits. This component functions as a panel disconnect actuator with a holding force of 143 kgf, designed for applications requiring 24VDC supply voltage with 125VAC/30VDC switching capability. The part is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives to maintain system continuity and support ongoing maintenance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HS5E-VA4401-G is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: DPST-NO/NC x 2 (dual pole, dual throw capability)
• Current rating: 2.5A (AC/DC)
• Voltage rating: 125VAC, 30VDC switching capability
• Supply voltage: 24VDC
• Holding force: 143 kgf
• Actuator type: Panel Disconnect
• Ingress protection: IP67 classification
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The HS5L-VA44M-G meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. Differences in termination style (Spring Terminal vs. Cable Leads), operating temperature range extension (-25°C to 55°C vs. -25°C to 50°C), and approval agency certifications represent variations that do not affect functional equivalence for standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HS5L-VA44M-G is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete HS5E-VA4401-G. Both components share identical electrical specifications, mechanical holding force, and ingress protection ratings. The substitute part maintains ROHS3 compliance and carries active product status with expanded approval certifications including UL listing.

Selection of the HS5L-VA44M-G is supported by:

• Identical circuit configuration and current/voltage ratings
• Matching holding force specification (143 kgf)
• Equivalent IP67 environmental protection
• Active product status ensuring continued availability and supply chain support
• Extended operating temperature range (-25°C to 55°C) providing broader operational envelope
• Additional UL certification beyond the original part's approval agencies

The primary design consideration is termination style transition from Cable Leads to Spring Terminal, which requires evaluation within the specific application's wiring and connection architecture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HS5L-VA44M-G directly replace the HS5E-VA4401-G in existing installations?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters. Termination style differs (Spring Terminal vs. Cable Leads), requiring assessment of connection methodology within the specific application. No functional performance degradation occurs with the substitute part.

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

A: Active product status indicates ongoing manufacturing, quality assurance, and supply chain availability. This eliminates procurement risk and supports long-term system maintenance requirements.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance. The HS5L-VA44M-G includes UL certification in addition to CCC, CE, and TUV certifications present on the original part. This represents expanded regulatory coverage.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of the HS5L-VA44M-G affect substitution suitability?

A: The substitute part's extended range (-25°C to 55°C vs. -25°C to 50°C) does not restrict compatibility. Applications operating within the original part's temperature envelope remain fully supported.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The HS5E-VA4401-G is supplied with Cable Leads termination, while the HS5L-VA44M-G uses Spring Terminal configuration with Bulk packaging. Termination style selection depends on application-specific connection requirements.
