Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HS5E-VC4401-G is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

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

The HS5L-VC44M-G meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for functional substitution. Differences in termination style (Spring Terminal vs. Cable Leads) and conduit thread size (M20 vs. not specified) represent mechanical interface variations that must be evaluated within the specific installation context.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HS5L-VC44M-G is the designated substitute for the obsolete HS5E-VC4401-G. Both components are manufactured by IDEC and maintain identical electrical specifications across all critical switching parameters. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

The HS5L-VC44M-G provides expanded regulatory compliance with UL certification in addition to CCC, CE, and TUV approvals. The extended operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 55°C versus -25°C ~ 50°C) offers improved thermal performance margins.

Termination interface differences require mechanical integration assessment. The main part uses cable leads while the substitute employs spring terminals. The substitute includes M20 conduit thread specification, providing defined mechanical mounting compatibility. These differences necessitate evaluation within the specific panel disconnect installation architecture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HS5L-VC44M-G directly replace the HS5E-VC4401-G in existing installations?

A: Electrical substitution is valid based on identical circuit configuration, current rating, voltage specifications, and holding force. Mechanical compatibility depends on the termination interface requirements of the existing installation. Cable lead connections must be adapted to spring terminal connections, and M20 conduit threading must be accommodated in the mounting structure.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in circuit configuration (DPST-NO/NC + DPST-NC), current rating (2.5A AC/DC), load voltage rating (125VAC, 30VDC), supply voltage (24VDC), holding force (143kgf), actuator type (Panel Disconnect), and ingress protection rating (IP67).

Q: Does the HS5L-VC44M-G meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: The substitute part maintains ROHS3 compliance and CCC, CE, and TUV certifications. It additionally carries UL approval, providing expanded regulatory coverage compared to the main part.

Q: What is the significance of the termination style difference?

A: The main part uses cable leads for connection, while the substitute uses spring terminals. This represents a mechanical interface difference that requires integration assessment based on the specific panel disconnect wiring architecture and connector compatibility requirements.

Q: Is the extended operating temperature range of the substitute part significant?

A: The HS5L-VC44M-G operates across -25°C ~ 55°C compared to -25°C ~ 50°C for the main part. This provides a 5°C upper temperature margin, which may be relevant in thermal-constrained applications but does not alter functional substitution eligibility for standard operating conditions.
