MK2P-S-DC6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MK2P-S-DC6 is a general purpose relay manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety, featuring a DPDT (2 Form C) contact configuration with a 6VDC coil and 10A contact rating. This socketable, 8-pin octal relay is designed for general switching applications requiring dual-pole, dual-throw functionality.

The MK2P-S-DC6 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system functionality and ensure continued availability for replacement and new designs where this relay specification remains applicable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MK2P-S-DC6 are identified based on the following critical parameters that must match or exceed the original specification:

• Coil Voltage: 6VDC (exact match required)
• Contact Form: DPDT (2 Form C) (exact match required)
• Contact Rating: 10A minimum (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Socketable (exact match required)
• Termination Style: 8 Pin Octal plug-in (exact match required)
• Coil Type: Non Latching (exact match required)

The KRPA-11DG-6 manufactured by TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays satisfies all critical substitution criteria for the MK2P-S-DC6.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The KRPA-11DG-6 is a direct functional substitute for the MK2P-S-DC6. Both relays share identical coil voltage, contact configuration, current rating, and mounting characteristics. The KRPA-11DG-6 is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for replacement applications.

The KRPA-11DG-6 demonstrates superior operating temperature range (-45°C to 70°C versus -10°C to 40°C), lower coil current consumption (188 mA versus 255 mA), and compliance with ROHS3 standards. The substitute part operates at a lower must-operate voltage (4.5 VDC versus 4.8 VDC), providing improved sensitivity.

The primary design consideration is the switching voltage specification: the MK2P-S-DC6 supports 250VDC switching, while the KRPA-11DG-6 is rated to 240VAC maximum. Applications requiring 250VDC switching capability must evaluate this parameter against actual system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the KRPA-11DG-6 directly replace the MK2P-S-DC6 in existing sockets?

A: Yes. Both relays feature identical 8-pin octal socketable termination and mounting type, enabling direct physical and electrical substitution in existing relay sockets.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two relays?

A: The KRPA-11DG-6 has a lower maximum AC switching voltage rating (240VAC versus 250VAC/250VDC). If your application requires 250VDC switching capability, this parameter must be evaluated against actual circuit requirements.

Q: Why is the MK2P-S-DC6 listed as obsolete?

A: The MK2P-S-DC6 is no longer in active production. The KRPA-11DG-6 provides equivalent functionality with active manufacturing status and improved environmental specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these relays?

A: The MK2P-S-DC6 packaging is listed as standard, while the KRPA-11DG-6 is supplied in tray packaging. Both are socketable relays with identical pin configurations.

Q: Does the lower coil current of the KRPA-11DG-6 affect compatibility?

A: No. The lower coil current (188 mA versus 255 mA) of the KRPA-11DG-6 is an advantage, reducing power consumption and heat generation while maintaining identical coil voltage and switching performance.
