HS5E-VA4403-G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HS5E-VA4403-G is an interlock solenoid release switch manufactured by IDEC, classified as a DPST (Double Pole Single Throw) solenoid release device. This component functions as a panel disconnect actuator with dual circuit capability (DPST-NO/NC x 2), rated for 2.5A at 125VAC or 30VDC, with a 24VDC supply voltage and 143kgf holding force. The part is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent active alternatives to maintain system continuity and procurement availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HS5E-VA4403-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
• Supply voltage: 24VDC
• Holding force: 143kgf
• Actuator type: Panel Disconnect
• Ingress protection: IP67
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3

The HS5L-VA44M-G qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical 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), conduit thread size specification (M20), and product status (Active vs. Obsolete) do not affect functional equivalence for standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HS5L-VA44M-G is the qualified substitute for the obsolete HS5E-VA4403-G. Selection is supported by:

• Identical electrical specifications (2.5A, 125VAC/30VDC, 24VDC supply)
• Matching mechanical parameters (143kgf holding force, DPST-NO/NC x 2 circuit)
• Equivalent environmental protection (IP67 rating)
• Active product status ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• ROHS3 compliance maintained across both parts
• Extended approval certifications (UL added to CCC, CE, TUV)
• Extended operating temperature range (-25°C to 55°C) providing broader environmental tolerance

The termination style difference (Spring Terminal vs. Cable Leads) requires integration assessment at the application level but does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HS5L-VA44M-G directly replace the HS5E-VA4403-G in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the termination interface is compatible. The HS5L-VA44M-G uses Spring Terminal connections versus Cable Leads on the original part. Electrical and mechanical performance are identical.

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

A: The HS5L-VA44M-G is in active production, ensuring long-term availability, consistent supply, and stable pricing. The HS5E-VA4403-G is no longer manufactured.

Q: Are there compliance 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.

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

A: No. The extended range (-25°C to 55°C vs. -25°C to 50°C) represents an enhancement that maintains backward compatibility with applications designed for the original temperature specification.

Q: What is the M20 conduit thread size specification on the HS5L-VA44M-G?

A: This parameter is provided for applications requiring conduit connection. The original HS5E-VA4403-G does not specify a conduit thread size, indicating different mechanical mounting configurations between the two parts.

Q: Are the holding force and circuit configurations identical?

A: Yes. Both parts provide 143kgf holding force and DPST-NO/NC x 2 circuit configuration, ensuring functional equivalence for solenoid release applications.
