JMACT-26XL General Purpose Relay Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The JMACT-26XL is a general purpose relay manufactured by TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine. This DPDT (2 Form C) relay is designed for through-hole mounting applications requiring 26.5VDC coil voltage with 1A contact rating. The part is currently in active production status with 810 pieces available in new original inventory.

Identification of equivalent and substitute parts becomes necessary when original stock is unavailable, when procurement lead times exceed project requirements, or when design flexibility permits component standardization across multiple suppliers. This reference provides engineering-level guidance for component selection based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The JMACT-26XL maintains active production status with current inventory availability. Selection of this component is supported by:

Product Availability: Active production status with 810 pieces in new original stock ensures supply chain continuity for current and near-term procurement requirements.

Compliance Posture: The part carries RoHS non-compliant designation. Applications requiring RoHS compliance must identify alternative components with matching electrical and mechanical specifications that carry RoHS compliant certification.

Certification Status: REACH Unaffected and ECCN EAR99 classifications indicate standard commercial availability without export restrictions for most jurisdictions.

Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating permits standard handling and storage procedures without specialized moisture control requirements.

No parametric equivalents have been provided for this component. Direct replacement with the JMACT-26XL is the specified selection path when the listed electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What defines a valid substitute for the JMACT-26XL?

A: A valid substitute must match all specified electrical parameters (26.5VDC coil voltage, DPDT contact form, 1A rating, 17mA coil current, 2ms operate time, 7.5ms release time), mechanical parameters (through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, hermetic seal), and environmental parameters (-65°C to 125°C operating range). Contact material must be Silver Palladium or Gold.

Q: Can I use a relay with different coil voltage?

A: No. The 26.5VDC coil voltage is a critical electrical parameter. Substitutes with different coil voltages will not function correctly in circuits designed for the JMACT-26XL and may cause circuit malfunction or component damage.

Q: Are there compliance considerations for substitute selection?

A: Yes. The JMACT-26XL is RoHS non-compliant. Applications requiring RoHS compliance must identify substitute components with matching electrical and mechanical specifications that carry RoHS compliant certification. REACH and ECCN classifications should be verified for the intended application and destination.

Q: What is the significance of the hermetic seal rating?

A: Hermetic sealing provides protection against moisture ingress and environmental contamination. Substitutes must maintain this seal rating for applications requiring reliable operation in harsh or humid environments. Non-hermetically sealed relays are not acceptable substitutes.

Q: Does the diode feature affect substitute selection?

A: Yes. The integrated diode is a specified feature of the JMACT-26XL. Substitute relays must include this diode feature to maintain circuit protection and functionality in the original application.

Q: What is the importance of matching operate and release times?

A: Operate time (2 ms) and release time (7.5 ms) are critical timing parameters that affect circuit switching behavior and system performance. Substitutes with different timing characteristics will alter system response and may cause functional failures in time-sensitive applications.

Q: Can I substitute with a surface-mount relay?

A: No. The JMACT-26XL is specified for through-hole mounting with PC pin termination. Surface-mount alternatives are not compatible with through-hole PCB designs and require circuit board redesign.
