Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAHC-12 relay is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. All substitute parts maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters: 12VDC coil voltage, DPDT contact form, 1A contact rating, 115VAC/28VDC maximum switching voltage, 30.8mA coil current, non-latching coil type, through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, hermetically sealed construction, -65°C to 125°C operating temperature range, silver palladium and gold contact materials, 390 ohm coil resistance, 7VDC must-operate voltage, 0.63VDC must-release voltage, 2ms operate time, and 1.5ms release time.

The substitute parts identified are JMAC-12XP, 6-1617542-0, 2-1617351-9, and JMAP-12XL. These parts are functionally equivalent and electrically interchangeable with the MAHC-12 within the same application context. Differences exist only in series designation, base product number, packaging configuration, and regulatory compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts (JMAC-12XP, 6-1617542-0, 2-1617351-9, and JMAP-12XL) are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the MAHC-12 and are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring a 12VDC DPDT general purpose relay with 1A contact rating and through-hole PC pin termination.

RoHS Compliance Consideration: Part 6-1617542-0 is ROHS3 compliant, while MAHC-12, JMAC-12XP, 2-1617351-9, and JMAP-12XL are RoHS non-compliant. Selection of 6-1617542-0 is appropriate for applications subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements.

REACH Status Consideration: MAHC-12, JMAC-12XP, and JMAP-12XL carry REACH Unaffected status. Part 2-1617351-9 lists REACH status as Vendor Undefined. Applications requiring confirmed REACH compliance should prioritize parts with REACH Unaffected designation.

Inventory Availability: JMAC-12XP maintains the highest inventory level at 973 pieces, followed by JMAP-12XL at 920 pieces and 6-1617542-0 at 855 pieces. The primary part MAHC-12 has 617 pieces in stock.

All parts share identical electrical performance characteristics, operating temperature range, timing specifications, and contact material composition. Selection between equivalent parts is determined by regulatory compliance requirements, packaging preferences, and inventory availability rather than functional performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can JMAC-12XP, 6-1617542-0, 2-1617351-9, and JMAP-12XL be used interchangeably with MAHC-12?

A: Yes. All four parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications, contact ratings, coil voltage, switching voltage, operating temperature range, timing characteristics, and contact materials. They are suitable for direct substitution in applications where MAHC-12 is specified.

Q: What is the difference between these substitute parts?

A: The substitute parts differ in series designation (MAC, MGA/CII, MA/CII), base product number, packaging configuration (all listed as Bulk), and regulatory compliance status. MAHC-12 packaging is not specified. Electrical and mechanical performance is identical across all parts.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for RoHS3 compliant applications?

A: Part 6-1617542-0 is ROHS3 compliant. The primary part MAHC-12 and substitute parts JMAC-12XP, 2-1617351-9, and JMAP-12XL are RoHS non-compliant and are not suitable for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance.

Q: Are there any REACH compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: MAHC-12, JMAC-12XP, and JMAP-12XL are designated as REACH Unaffected. Part 2-1617351-9 lists REACH status as Vendor Undefined. For applications requiring confirmed REACH compliance, parts with REACH Unaffected status are preferred.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same through-hole mounting and PC pin termination?

A: Yes. All substitute parts and the primary MAHC-12 are through-hole mounted with PC pin termination style. They are mechanically compatible with identical PCB footprints and mounting requirements.

Q: What is the operating voltage range for these relays?

A: The coil operates at 12VDC nominal. The must-operate voltage is 7VDC and the must-release voltage is 0.63VDC. The switching contacts handle a maximum of 115VAC or 28VDC.

Q: Are the timing characteristics identical across all parts?

A: Yes. All parts have an operate time of 2 milliseconds and a release time of 1.5 milliseconds. Timing performance is identical.

Q: What contact materials are used in these relays?

A: All parts use Silver Palladium (AgPd) and Gold (Au) contact materials with hermetically sealed construction.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: JMAC-12XP has the highest inventory at 973 pieces, followed by JMAP-12XL at 920 pieces and 6-1617542-0 at 855 pieces.
