HS5E-VC4405-G Interlock Solenoid Release DPST - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HS5E-VC4405-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 functions as a panel disconnect actuator with a 24VDC supply voltage and 143kgf holding force, designed for industrial safety and control applications requiring IP67-rated environmental protection.

The HS5E-VC4405-G is currently listed as obsolete. Identifying functionally equivalent active alternatives is essential for system continuity, procurement reliability, and long-term component availability in new designs or maintenance scenarios.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HS5E-VC4405-G is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Circuit configuration: DPST-NO/NC + DPST-NC
• Current rating: 2.5A (AC/DC)
• Voltage rating: 125VAC, 30VDC
• Supply voltage: 24VDC

Mechanical & Environmental Compatibility:

• Type: Solenoid Release
• Actuator type: Panel Disconnect
• Holding force: 143kgf
• Ingress protection: IP67 - Dust Tight, Waterproof
• Operating temperature range: -25°C minimum, 50°C minimum upper limit

Regulatory & Compliance:

• RoHS3 compliance required
• Approval agencies: CCC, CE, TUV (minimum common set)

The HS5L-VC44M-G meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in termination style (Spring Terminal vs. Cable Leads), conduit thread size (M20 vs. not specified), and upper operating temperature limit (55°C vs. 50°C) do not disqualify substitution when the primary functional and electrical requirements are identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HS5L-VC44M-G is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete HS5E-VC4405-G for applications requiring DPST solenoid release switching with 24VDC supply and 143kgf holding force.

Active Product Status: The HS5L-VC44M-G maintains active product status with IDEC, ensuring ongoing availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability. The HS5E-VC4405-G is obsolete and subject to discontinuation.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and share core approval certifications (CCC, CE, TUV). The HS5L-VC44M-G adds UL certification, expanding approval coverage for North American applications.

Operational Envelope: The HS5L-VC44M-G extends the upper operating temperature limit to 55°C, providing enhanced thermal margin over the HS5E-VC4405-G specification of 50°C. Both maintain the -25°C lower limit and identical electrical ratings.

Interface Considerations: Termination style differs (Spring Terminal vs. Cable Leads). Integration feasibility depends on existing wiring harness and connector specifications. Conduit thread size M20 on the HS5L-VC44M-G may require panel mounting verification against original installation geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HS5L-VC44M-G directly replace the HS5E-VC4405-G in existing installations?

A: Electrical and functional compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters: circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, holding force, and IP67 protection. Physical installation compatibility requires verification of termination style (Spring Terminal vs. Cable Leads) and conduit thread size (M20) against existing panel mounting and wiring infrastructure.

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

A: Active product status ensures component availability, manufacturer technical support, and supply chain continuity. Obsolete components face production discontinuation and may become unavailable for future procurement or system maintenance.

Q: Are there differences in approval certifications between these parts?

A: Both parts hold CCC, CE, and TUV certifications. The HS5L-VC44M-G adds UL certification. For applications requiring specific regional compliance (North America), the additional UL marking on the HS5L-VC44M-G provides expanded regulatory coverage.

Q: How do the operating temperature ranges compare?

A: The HS5E-VC4405-G operates from -25°C to 50°C. The HS5L-VC44M-G extends the upper limit to 55°C, providing 5°C additional thermal margin. Both maintain identical lower temperature limits.

Q: What is the impact of different termination styles on system integration?

A: The HS5E-VC4405-G uses Cable Leads; the HS5L-VC44M-G uses Spring Terminal connections. Cable leads typically support direct wire attachment, while spring terminals accommodate blade or pin connectors. Existing wiring harnesses and connector specifications must be evaluated for compatibility.

Q: Is the M20 conduit thread size on the HS5L-VC44M-G a compatibility concern?

A: The HS5E-VC4405-G does not specify a conduit thread size. The HS5L-VC44M-G includes M20 threading for panel mounting. Compatibility depends on whether the original installation requires threaded conduit entry. Panel geometry and mounting hole specifications should be verified.
