JM1AN-P-DC5V-F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The JM1AN-P-DC5V-F is a general purpose relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, configured as a SPST-NO (1 Form A) with a 5VDC coil and 20A contact rating. This through-hole mounted relay is designed for switching applications up to 250VAC maximum. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for system maintenance, repair, and redesign applications where continued availability is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the JM1AN-P-DC5V-F is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Coil Voltage: 5VDC (exact match required)
• Contact Form: SPST-NO (1 Form A) (exact match required)
• Contact Rating: 20 A minimum (exact match required)
• Switching Voltage: 250VAC maximum (exact match or higher required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Termination Style: PC Pin (exact match required)
• Coil Current: 180 mA (exact match required)
• Coil Resistance: 27.8 Ohms (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 60°C (exact match or wider range acceptable)
• Contact Material: Silver Tin Oxide (AgSnO) (exact match required)

The ALF1P05 meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ALF1P05 is a direct functional equivalent to the JM1AN-P-DC5V-F and is the appropriate substitute for applications requiring this relay specification. Selection of ALF1P05 is supported by the following factors:

• All critical electrical parameters match exactly between the main part and substitute
• ALF1P05 is in active production status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability
• ALF1P05 carries ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH unaffected status, meeting modern regulatory requirements
• Both parts are manufactured by the same supplier (Panasonic Electric Works), ensuring consistent quality and design standards
• The 5 ms difference in release time (ALF1P05: 15 ms vs. JM1AN-P-DC5V-F: 10 ms) is within acceptable tolerance for general purpose relay applications and does not affect functional compatibility in standard switching circuits

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ALF1P05 be used as a direct replacement for JM1AN-P-DC5V-F in existing circuit boards?

A: Yes. The ALF1P05 is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both parts feature identical through-hole PC pin termination, coil voltage, contact rating, and switching characteristics. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the release time difference between these parts?

A: The ALF1P05 has a release time of 15 ms compared to 10 ms for the JM1AN-P-DC5V-F. This 5 ms difference is negligible in general purpose relay applications and does not impact functional performance in standard switching circuits.

Q: Why is the JM1AN-P-DC5V-F obsolete while ALF1P05 remains in production?

A: Product lifecycle management results in older part numbers being discontinued in favor of newer designs. The ALF1P05 represents the current production equivalent and is the recommended choice for new designs and replacements.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The ALF1P05 carries ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH unaffected status. The JM1AN-P-DC5V-F specifications do not include these certifications. For applications requiring regulatory compliance documentation, ALF1P05 is the appropriate selection.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: JM1AN-P-DC5V-F is supplied with standard packaging, while ALF1P05 is supplied in box packaging. Both are through-hole mounted components with identical electrical and mechanical interfaces.
