Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MK3PD-5-I-DC24 are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

  • Coil voltage: 24VDC (exact match required)
  • Contact form: 3PDT (3 Form C) configuration
  • Contact rating: 10A minimum
  • Termination: 11 Pin Octal socketable base
  • Coil type: Non-latching operation

The TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield KRPA-14DG-24 and KRPA-14DN-24 relays meet these core substitution criteria. Both parts maintain identical coil voltage, contact configuration, current rating, and socketable termination. The KRPA-14DN-24 includes a lighted indicator feature, while the KRPA-14DG-24 provides a standard configuration without indicator.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both KRPA-14DG-24 and KRPA-14DN-24 are active products with current manufacturing support and ROHS3 compliance, providing long-term availability advantages over the obsolete MK3PD-5-I-DC24.

The KRPA-14DG-24 provides direct functional substitution without additional features. The KRPA-14DN-24 includes a lighted indicator, suitable for applications requiring visual operational status feedback.

The TE Connectivity relays operate across a wider temperature range (-45°C ~ 70°C) compared to the original Omron part (-10°C ~ 40°C), providing enhanced performance in extended environmental conditions. The KRPA series uses silver cadmium oxide contact material versus the silver contacts in the MK3PD-5-I-DC24, offering improved contact durability in switching applications.

Both substitute parts maintain the 11-pin octal socketable base, ensuring direct mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing relay sockets designed for the MK3PD-5-I-DC24.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can KRPA-14DG-24 and KRPA-14DN-24 be used interchangeably with MK3PD-5-I-DC24?

A: Both KRPA relays are functionally compatible as direct substitutes. The primary difference is the lighted indicator feature in the KRPA-14DN-24. Selection depends on whether visual status indication is required in the application.

Q: What are the key compatibility factors for substitution?

A: The critical compatibility factors are coil voltage (24VDC), contact configuration (3PDT), current rating (10A), and termination style (11-pin octal socketable base). All three relays match these parameters.

Q: How do the contact materials differ between the original and substitute parts?

A: The MK3PD-5-I-DC24 uses silver (Ag) contacts, while the KRPA-14DG-24 and KRPA-14DN-24 use silver cadmium oxide (AgCdO) contacts. Silver cadmium oxide provides enhanced contact durability and arc resistance in switching applications.

Q: Are there temperature range considerations for substitution?

A: The KRPA series relays operate from -45°C to 70°C, compared to the MK3PD-5-I-DC24 range of -10°C to 40°C. The wider operating range of the substitute parts provides additional environmental flexibility without performance degradation.

Q: What is the difference between KRPA-14DG-24 and KRPA-14DN-24?

A: Both relays are electrically and mechanically identical. The KRPA-14DN-24 includes a lighted indicator feature for visual operational status, while the KRPA-14DG-24 is a standard configuration without this feature.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both KRPA-14DG-24 and KRPA-14DN-24 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.
