Panasonic JV1-5V General Purpose Relay - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Panasonic JV1-5V is a general purpose relay with SPDT (1 Form C) contact configuration, rated for 10A at 125VAC maximum switching voltage, and operates on a 5VDC coil. This through-hole mounted relay features sealed construction and silver alloy contacts. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The JV1-5V has been identified with one substitute part: JVN1A-4.5V-F from Panasonic Electric Works. Substitution analysis is based on the following critical parameters:

Contact Configuration & Current Rating: The JV1-5V provides SPDT switching at 10A. The substitute JVN1A-4.5V-F provides SPST-NO (1 Form A) switching at 16A. While the contact form differs (SPDT vs. SPST-NO), the substitute offers higher current capacity and maintains through-hole mounting with PC pin termination.

Coil Voltage & Operating Characteristics: The JV1-5V operates on 5VDC with 80 mA coil current and 62.5 Ohms coil resistance. The substitute operates on 4.5VDC with 44.4 mA coil current and 101 Ohms coil resistance. Both relays share identical operating temperature ranges (-40°C ~ 70°C) and sealed construction.

Switching Voltage & Contact Material: The JV1-5V switches up to 125VAC maximum. The substitute switches up to 277VAC and 30VDC maximum, providing enhanced voltage capability. Contact material differs: JV1-5V uses silver alloy while JVN1A-4.5V-F uses silver tin oxide (AgSnO).

Product Status & Compliance: The JV1-5V is obsolete. The substitute JVN1A-4.5V-F is active and RoHS3 compliant, making it suitable for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The JVN1A-4.5V-F serves as an active substitute for the obsolete JV1-5V. Selection should be based on the following factors:

Product Status & Availability: The JV1-5V is obsolete, making the JVN1A-4.5V-F the appropriate choice for new designs and ongoing production. The substitute is currently active with confirmed inventory availability.

Compliance & Regulatory Requirements: The JVN1A-4.5V-F is RoHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic components. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and carry identical MSL ratings (1 - Unlimited).

Circuit Integration Considerations: Applications requiring SPDT switching must evaluate whether SPST-NO functionality meets system requirements. The substitute provides higher current capacity (16A vs. 10A) and enhanced switching voltage capability (277VAC/30VDC vs. 125VAC), supporting broader application ranges. Coil voltage differs (4.5VDC vs. 5VDC), requiring verification of driver circuit compatibility. The substitute operates at lower coil current (44.4 mA vs. 80 mA), reducing power consumption.

Thermal & Environmental Compatibility: Both relays share identical operating temperature ranges and sealed construction, ensuring equivalent environmental protection in -40°C to 70°C applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the JVN1A-4.5V-F directly replace the JV1-5V in existing circuits?

A: Direct replacement requires circuit evaluation. The substitute differs in contact form (SPST-NO vs. SPDT), coil voltage (4.5VDC vs. 5VDC), and coil current (44.4 mA vs. 80 mA). Applications using only one contact form of the original SPDT relay may accommodate the SPST-NO substitute. Driver circuits must support 4.5VDC coil operation.

Q: What are the key differences in electrical performance?

A: The JVN1A-4.5V-F provides higher current capacity (16A vs. 10A) and extended switching voltage range (277VAC/30VDC vs. 125VAC). Operating and release times are slightly longer (12 ms and 5 ms vs. 10 ms and 4 ms). Must operate voltage is lower (3.38VDC vs. 4VDC), improving sensitivity.

Q: Are both relays suitable for the same environmental conditions?

A: Yes. Both relays operate across -40°C to 70°C and feature sealed construction with identical MSL ratings (1 - Unlimited), providing equivalent environmental protection.

Q: Does the substitute meet current regulatory standards?

A: The JVN1A-4.5V-F is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. The JV1-5V status is not specified for RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the impact of different contact materials?

A: The JV1-5V uses silver alloy contacts while the JVN1A-4.5V-F uses silver tin oxide (AgSnO). Both materials are suitable for general purpose switching applications with sealed relay construction.

Q: How does the coil resistance difference affect circuit design?

A: The substitute has higher coil resistance (101 Ohms vs. 62.5 Ohms) and lower coil current requirement (44.4 mA vs. 80 mA). This reduces power dissipation and may simplify driver circuit design, though coil voltage differs (4.5VDC vs. 5VDC).
