Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the IM04GR telecom relay is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Coil Voltage: 6VDC (exact match required)
• Contact Form: DPDT (2 Form C) (exact match required)
• Contact Rating (Current): 2 A (exact match required)
• Coil Current: 23.3 mA (exact match required)
• Coil Type: Non Latching (exact match required)
• Coil Resistance: 257 Ohms (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Termination Style: Gull Wing (exact match required)
• Must Operate Voltage: 4.5 VDC (exact match required)
• Must Release Voltage: 0.6 VDC (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C (exact match required)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Switching Voltage: Substitute must support application requirements
• Seal Rating: Substitute must meet or exceed application environmental requirements
• Contact Material: Substitute must be compatible with application switching conditions

The substitute parts AGQ200A06, AGQ200S06, and TQ2SA-6V meet all primary substitution criteria. The AGN200A06 meets primary criteria but has a reduced contact rating of 1A and is suitable only for applications requiring 1A or less.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Full Equivalents (2A Contact Rating):

The AGQ200A06, AGQ200S06, and TQ2SA-6V are functionally equivalent to the IM04GR for applications requiring 2A contact rating. All three parts are Active in product status and ROHS3 Compliant with REACH Unaffected status. These parts differ from the IM04GR in switching voltage capability and operate/release time specifications. The AGQ200A06 and AGQ200S06 support 125VAC/110VDC maximum switching voltage, while the TQ2SA-6V supports 125VAC/220VDC maximum switching voltage. The IM04GR supports 250VAC/220VDC maximum switching voltage. Selection between these equivalents depends on application switching voltage requirements and packaging preference (Cut Tape versus Tube).

Reduced Current Equivalent (1A Contact Rating):

The AGN200A06 is suitable for applications requiring 1A or less contact rating. This part is Active in product status and ROHS3 Compliant with REACH Unaffected status. The AGN200A06 provides Sealed - Fully seal rating compared to the IM04GR's Sealed - Hermetically rating. This part is not suitable for applications requiring 2A contact rating.

Compliance and Regulatory Status:

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 Compliance and REACH Unaffected status consistent with the IM04GR. All parts are classified under HTSUS 8536.41.0020 and ECCN EAR99.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AGN200A06 be used as a direct replacement for IM04GR?

A: The AGN200A06 is not a direct replacement for applications requiring 2A contact rating. The AGN200A06 has a maximum contact rating of 1A, while the IM04GR is rated for 2A. The AGN200A06 is suitable only for applications requiring 1A or less.

Q: What is the difference between AGQ200A06 and AGQ200S06?

A: Both AGQ200A06 and AGQ200S06 have identical electrical specifications: 6VDC coil voltage, 2A contact rating, 125VAC/110VDC maximum switching voltage, 4ms operate/release time, and 257 Ohms coil resistance. Both are packaged in Tube format. The parts are functionally equivalent for substitution purposes.

Q: How does switching voltage affect part selection?

A: The IM04GR supports 250VAC/220VDC maximum switching voltage. The AGQ200A06 and AGQ200S06 support 125VAC/110VDC maximum switching voltage. The TQ2SA-6V supports 125VAC/220VDC maximum switching voltage. Selection must ensure the substitute part's switching voltage rating meets or exceeds the application's switching voltage requirements.

Q: What is the significance of operate and release time differences?

A: The IM04GR has 3ms operate time and 3ms release time. The AGN200A06, AGQ200A06, AGQ200S06, and TQ2SA-6V all have 4ms operate time and 4ms release time. Applications with timing-critical switching requirements must account for this 1ms difference.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: Packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tube) does not affect electrical performance. The IM04GR is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format, while all substitute parts are supplied in Tube format. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. The IM04GR and all substitute parts (AGN200A06, AGQ200A06, AGQ200S06, TQ2SA-6V) operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Q: What seal rating differences exist between the IM04GR and substitutes?

A: The IM04GR is rated Sealed - Hermetically. The AGN200A06 is rated Sealed - Fully. The AGQ200A06, AGQ200S06, and TQ2SA-6V have seal ratings not specified in the provided data. Applications requiring specific hermetic sealing must account for these differences.

Q: Can TQ2SA-6V be used in place of IM04GR for high voltage switching applications?

A: The TQ2SA-6V supports 125VAC/220VDC maximum switching voltage, while the IM04GR supports 250VAC/220VDC maximum switching voltage. The TQ2SA-6V is suitable for applications requiring up to 220VDC switching. Applications requiring 250VAC switching capability must use the IM04GR or verify that 125VAC is sufficient for the application.
