IM00TS Telecom Relay DPDT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IM00TS is a telecom-grade DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) relay manufactured by TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays. This through-hole mounted component operates at 1.5VDC with a 2A contact rating and is designed for telecom switching applications. The relay features hermetically sealed construction with palladium, ruthenium, and gold contact materials. As an active product with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, the IM00TS remains in production. Equivalent substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications, mechanical compatibility, and functional performance parameters to support procurement flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

IM00TS (TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays)

The IM00TS is the primary component specification. It features hermetically sealed construction with palladium, ruthenium, and gold contact materials. Maximum switching voltage is rated at 250VAC and 220VDC. The component carries ROHS3 compliance with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Product status is active with established supply availability.

AGQ2001H (Panasonic Electric Works)

The AGQ2001H provides functional equivalence for the IM00TS across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. This substitute maintains identical coil voltage, contact form, contact rating, coil resistance, and operating voltage thresholds. Operating temperature range and relay classification are identical. Both components carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status with EAR99 ECCN classification.

Differences between the components are limited to:

• Switching voltage maximum: AGQ2001H rated at 125VAC and 110VDC (lower than IM00TS)
• Operate and release time: AGQ2001H specified at 4 ms (versus 3 ms for IM00TS)
• Contact material composition: AGQ2001H uses silver palladium and gold (versus palladium, ruthenium, and gold for IM00TS)
• Seal rating: IM00TS specifies hermetically sealed; AGQ2001H seal rating not specified
• Packaging: IM00TS supplied in box; AGQ2001H supplied in tube

Selection between these components depends on application-specific requirements for switching voltage, response time, and contact material performance. Both components satisfy core telecom relay functionality and regulatory compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AGQ2001H replace IM00TS in all applications?

A: AGQ2001H provides electrical and mechanical equivalence for core relay functions. However, application-specific requirements must be evaluated. The AGQ2001H switching voltage maximum (125VAC/110VDC) is lower than the IM00TS (250VAC/220VDC). If the application requires higher switching voltages, the IM00TS is the appropriate selection. Response time differences (4 ms versus 3 ms) must be evaluated against timing-critical circuit requirements.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: coil voltage (1.5VDC), contact form (DPDT), contact rating (2A), coil resistance (16 Ohms), must-operate voltage (1.13VDC), must-release voltage (0.15VDC), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). Both the IM00TS and AGQ2001H match these parameters exactly.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns between IM00TS and AGQ2001H?

A: Both components feature through-hole mounting with PC pin termination, ensuring mechanical compatibility in circuit board applications. Packaging differs (box versus tube), but this affects logistics and storage rather than functional installation. Physical dimensions should be verified against specific PCB layout requirements, though this information is not provided in the component specifications.

Q: Do both components meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Both the IM00TS and AGQ2001H carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Both are classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. Regulatory compliance is equivalent between the two components.

Q: What is the significance of the contact material difference?

A: The IM00TS uses palladium, ruthenium, and gold contact materials. The AGQ2001H uses silver palladium and gold. Contact material composition affects electrical performance, wear characteristics, and corrosion resistance. Application-specific requirements for contact reliability and longevity should be evaluated when selecting between these materials.

Q: How do the timing specifications differ?

A: The IM00TS operates and releases in 3 milliseconds. The AGQ2001H operates and releases in 4 milliseconds. This 1 millisecond difference is relevant for time-sensitive switching applications. Applications requiring faster response times should specify the IM00TS.

Q: Is the seal rating difference significant?

A: The IM00TS specifies hermetically sealed construction. The AGQ2001H seal rating is not specified in the provided data. Hermetic sealing provides enhanced protection against moisture and environmental contamination. Applications requiring sealed relay construction should specify the IM00TS.
