JV1A-6V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The JV1A-6V is a general purpose relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, featuring a SPST-NO (1 Form A) contact configuration with a 6VDC coil. This through-hole mounted relay is rated for 10A at 125VAC maximum switching voltage and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 70°C. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The JVN1A-6V-F qualifies as a direct substitute for the JV1A-6V based on the following critical parameters:

• Coil Voltage: Both parts operate at 6VDC
• Contact Form: Both are SPST-NO (1 Form A) configuration
• Coil Current: Both draw 33.3 mA
• Coil Resistance: Both have 180 Ohms resistance
• Mounting Type: Both are through-hole mounted
• Termination Style: Both use PC Pin termination
• Operating Temperature Range: Both operate across -40°C to 70°C
• Seal Rating: Both are fully sealed
• Relay Type: Both are general purpose relays

The JVN1A-6V-F represents an enhanced version within the Panasonic Electric Works relay family, offering improved electrical performance while maintaining mechanical and electrical interface compatibility with the original JV1A-6V.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The JVN1A-6V-F is the designated substitute for the obsolete JV1A-6V. Selection of the JVN1A-6V-F is supported by the following factors:

• Product Status: The JVN1A-6V-F is active and currently in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Regulatory Compliance: The JVN1A-6V-F meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, aligning with current environmental and regulatory standards.
• Interface Compatibility: Identical coil voltage, contact form, coil current, coil resistance, mounting type, and termination style ensure direct mechanical and electrical interface compatibility.
• Enhanced Performance: The JVN1A-6V-F provides higher contact current rating (16A versus 10A) and extended switching voltage capability (277VAC, 30VDC versus 125VAC), offering improved performance margins for existing applications.
• Regulatory Alignment: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status, confirming compliance with hazardous substance restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the JVN1A-6V-F be used as a direct replacement for the JV1A-6V in existing PCB assemblies?

A: Yes. Both relays share identical coil voltage (6VDC), contact form (SPST-NO), coil current (33.3 mA), coil resistance (180 Ohms), mounting type (through-hole), and termination style (PC Pin). The physical and electrical interfaces are compatible.

Q: What are the differences between the JV1A-6V and JVN1A-6V-F?

A: The primary differences are contact current rating (10A versus 16A), switching voltage capability (125VAC versus 277VAC/30VDC), contact material (Silver Alloy versus Silver Tin Oxide), and product status (Obsolete versus Active). The JVN1A-6V-F also includes ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: Are there any timing differences between these relays?

A: Yes. The JVN1A-6V-F has slightly longer operate time (12 ms versus 10 ms) and release time (5 ms versus 4 ms). The must-operate voltage is also lower (4.5 VDC versus 4.8 VDC). These differences should be evaluated against specific application timing requirements.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The JV1A-6V is supplied in standard packaging, while the JVN1A-6V-F is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are through-hole mounted components suitable for PCB assembly.

Q: Are both relays suitable for the same temperature operating range?

A: Yes. Both the JV1A-6V and JVN1A-6V-F operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 70°C.

Q: Does the JVN1A-6V-F meet current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. The JVN1A-6V-F is ROHS3 compliant and maintains REACH Unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for component selection.
