JWS-117-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The JWS-117-3 is a reed relay manufactured by TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays, designed for single-pole single-throw (SPST) switching applications. This through-hole mounted relay operates at 12VDC with a maximum contact rating of 500 mA and a switching voltage capability of 100VDC. The component is classified as Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected designation. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when inventory requirements necessitate alternative suppliers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the JWS-117-3 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Coil Voltage: 12VDC
• Contact Form: SPST-NO (1 Form A)
• Contact Rating (Current): 500 mA
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination Style: PC Pin
• Coil Type: Non Latching

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Switching Voltage: Substitute parts may exceed the maximum switching voltage of the main part (100VDC) without compromising compatibility
• Coil Current: Substitute parts may operate at lower coil current values
• Operate Time and Release Time: Substitute parts may have faster switching characteristics
• Operating Temperature Range: Substitute parts may have narrower temperature ranges provided the application operating conditions fall within the specified range
• Coil Resistance: Variations are acceptable when coil voltage and current characteristics remain compatible

The substitute part 9007-12-00 from Coto Technology meets all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the JWS-117-3 and 9007-12-00 are Active product status components with identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Selection between these parts should be based on the following engineering considerations:

JWS-117-3 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring operation across the extended temperature range of -35°C to 85°C
• Systems where the 100VDC switching voltage specification is the design constraint
• Designs with established coil current budgets of 22.7 mA

9007-12-00 Selection Criteria:

• Applications where reduced coil current consumption (12 mA versus 22.7 mA) provides system-level power efficiency benefits
• Designs requiring faster switching response times (0.5 ms operate time and 0.2 ms release time)
• Systems operating within the -20°C to 85°C temperature range where the narrower specification is acceptable
• Applications benefiting from the higher switching voltage capability (200VAC/200VDC)

Both parts are suitable for through-hole PCB mounting with PC pin termination and maintain identical contact form and current rating specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 9007-12-00 be used as a direct replacement for the JWS-117-3 in all applications?

A: The 9007-12-00 qualifies as a functional equivalent for applications operating within the -20°C to 85°C temperature range. Applications requiring operation below -20°C must retain the JWS-117-3. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the coil current difference between these parts?

A: The JWS-117-3 requires 22.7 mA coil current while the 9007-12-00 requires 12 mA. This difference affects power consumption in the relay driver circuit. The lower coil current of the 9007-12-00 may reduce thermal load and power supply requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. Both parts feature through-hole mounting with PC pin termination style. Physical compatibility for PCB layout is maintained between these parts.

Q: What is the impact of the switching voltage difference?

A: The JWS-117-3 has a maximum switching voltage of 100VDC. The 9007-12-00 supports 200VAC and 200VDC. For applications switching voltages at or below 100VDC, both parts are equivalent. For applications requiring switching capability above 100VDC, the 9007-12-00 provides additional margin.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the JWS-117-3 and 9007-12-00 are RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS coding.

Q: What is the difference in switching speed between these relays?

A: The JWS-117-3 has an operate time of 1.5 ms and release time of 0.5 ms. The 9007-12-00 has an operate time of 0.5 ms and release time of 0.2 ms. The 9007-12-00 provides faster switching response, which may be beneficial in time-sensitive applications.

Q: Are there any temperature-related constraints for substitution?

A: The JWS-117-3 operates from -35°C to 85°C, while the 9007-12-00 operates from -20°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation below -20°C must use the JWS-117-3. Both parts are suitable for standard industrial temperature ranges.
