Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The HS5L-VC7Y4M-G qualifies as a direct substitute for the HS5E-VC7Y401-G based on the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Both parts maintain identical DPST-NO/NC + DPST-NC circuit topology
• Current Rating: Both rated at 2.5A (AC/DC)
• Voltage Rating: Both support 125VAC and 30VDC operation
• Supply Voltage: Both operate at 24VDC
• Holding Force: Both provide 143kgf holding force
• Actuator Type: Both feature panel disconnect functionality
• Ingress Protection: Both meet IP67 specification
• Environmental Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant

The primary differences are termination style (cable leads versus spring terminal), operating temperature range extension (55°C versus 50°C maximum), and product status (active versus obsolete).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HS5L-VC7Y4M-G is the designated substitute for the obsolete HS5E-VC7Y401-G. Both components maintain electrical and mechanical equivalence across all critical parameters including circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, holding force, and ingress protection rating.

The HS5L-VC7Y4M-G offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. The extended operating temperature range (-25°C to 55°C versus -25°C to 50°C) provides additional thermal margin for demanding applications. Both parts carry equivalent regulatory approvals including CCC, CE, and TUV certifications, with the HS5L-VC7Y4M-G additionally certified to UL standards.

The primary consideration for integration is the termination style difference: the HS5E-VC7Y401-G uses cable leads while the HS5L-VC7Y4M-G employs spring terminals. This difference requires evaluation of the existing wiring harness and connection methodology in the target application.
