JQ1PF-F-12V-F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The JQ1PF-F-12V-F is a general purpose relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, featuring a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) contact configuration with a 12VDC coil and 10A contact rating. This through-hole mounted relay is designed for standard switching applications requiring reliable electromagnetic actuation.

The JQ1PF-F-12V-F is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this relay.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the JQ1PF-F-12V-F is evaluated based on the following critical parameters:

• Coil Voltage: Must be 12VDC to ensure direct compatibility with existing circuit designs
• Contact Form: Must be SPDT (1 Form C) to maintain switching functionality
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole to ensure PCB compatibility
• Termination Style: Must be PC Pin for direct connection to printed circuit boards
• Coil Current and Resistance: Must match 33.3 mA and 360 Ohms respectively for proper circuit operation

The ALQ1F12 meets these core substitution criteria. However, differences exist in contact rating, switching voltage specifications, and operating temperature range, which must be evaluated for specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ALQ1F12 is an active product from the same manufacturer (Panasonic Electric Works) and shares identical coil specifications, contact form, mounting configuration, and termination style with the obsolete JQ1PF-F-12V-F.

The ALQ1F12 demonstrates improved compliance status with ROHS3 certification compared to the main part's RoHS compliance. It also provides an extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C versus -40°C ~ 70°C), offering greater thermal flexibility for certain applications.

The primary design consideration is the reduced contact rating of the ALQ1F12 (5A versus 10A) and lower maximum switching voltage specifications (250VAC, 30VDC versus 250VAC, 110VDC). These differences require evaluation against actual application load requirements to ensure the substitute part meets switching capacity demands.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ALQ1F12 directly replace the JQ1PF-F-12V-F in existing designs?

A: The ALQ1F12 shares identical coil voltage, contact form, mounting type, and termination style. Direct physical and electrical compatibility exists for coil actuation. However, the reduced contact current rating (5A versus 10A) and lower maximum switching voltage (30VDC versus 110VDC) must be verified against application requirements before substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between these two relays?

A: The primary differences are contact rating (10A versus 5A), maximum switching voltage (110VDC versus 30VDC), contact material composition (Silver Tin Oxide versus Silver Nickel), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 70°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C). The ALQ1F12 offers improved compliance status and wider temperature operation.

Q: Why is the JQ1PF-F-12V-F classified as obsolete?

A: The JQ1PF-F-12V-F is listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. The ALQ1F12, as an active product, represents the current generation equivalent from Panasonic Electric Works for general purpose 12VDC SPDT relay applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The JQ1PF-F-12V-F is supplied with standard packaging, while the ALQ1F12 is packaged in boxes. Both use identical through-hole PC pin termination for PCB mounting.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the ALQ1F12?

A: The ALQ1F12 holds CQC, cURuus, and VDE approvals, with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing broader regulatory acceptance than the main part.
