MKS3P-2 DC48 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MKS3P-2 DC48 is a general purpose relay manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety, featuring a 3PDT (3 Form C) contact configuration with a 48VDC coil. This socketable relay is designed for applications requiring reliable switching of 250VAC or 30VDC loads at 10A contact rating. The product is currently active in production with full RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Alternative models are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MKS3P-2 DC48 is determined by strict parametric matching across the following critical criteria:

Coil voltage specification (48VDC) must be identical to ensure proper relay actuation in the control circuit. Contact form configuration (3PDT) must match to maintain the same switching topology and number of independent circuits. Contact rating (10A) and switching voltage limits (250VAC, 30VDC maximum) must be equivalent to preserve load-switching capability. Mounting type (socketable) and termination style (11-pin octal plug-in) must be identical for mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing sockets and PCB layouts. Operating temperature range must encompass or match the specified -40°C to 60°C envelope. Coil current draw (28.1 mA) and coil resistance (1.71 kOhms) must be maintained to ensure compatibility with existing control circuit designs. Contact material (Silver Tin Indium) and relay type (general purpose, non-latching) must remain consistent. RoHS compliance status must be maintained for regulatory conformance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MKS3P-2 DC48 and MKS3P DC48 are active production parts from Omron Automation and Safety with full RoHS compliance. Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and procurement lead times. Both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct interchangeability in socketable relay applications. The MKS3P-2 DC48 variant designation indicates a specific product configuration within the MKS series. Either part is suitable for 48VDC control circuits requiring 3PDT switching functionality at 10A contact rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MKS3P DC48 be used as a direct replacement for MKS3P-2 DC48?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical parameters including coil voltage (48VDC), contact form (3PDT), contact rating (10A), switching voltage limits (250VAC, 30VDC), coil current (28.1 mA), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 60°C). Both feature socketable mounting with 11-pin octal termination, enabling direct socket compatibility.

Q: Are there any differences in mechanical compatibility?

A: No. Both parts are socketable relays with identical 11-pin octal plug-in termination. They are mechanically interchangeable in existing relay sockets and PCB layouts designed for the MKS series.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both MKS3P-2 DC48 and MKS3P DC48 are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity rating). Both carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.41.0050) classifications.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this relay?

A: Substitution is determined by matching coil voltage (48VDC), contact form (3PDT), contact rating (10A), switching voltage limits, mounting type (socketable), termination style (11-pin octal), operating temperature range, coil current, and RoHS compliance status.

Q: Can this relay be used in applications requiring different coil voltages?

A: No. The MKS3P-2 DC48 and MKS3P DC48 are specifically rated for 48VDC coil operation. Use of different coil voltages will result in improper relay operation and potential circuit failure.
