Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MY4-GS DC6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Contact Configuration: 4PDT (4 Form C) - provides four independent switching circuits with changeover capability
• Coil Voltage: 6VDC - electrical interface requirement
• Switching Voltage Rating: 250VAC, 220VDC maximum - load handling capability
• Relay Type: General Purpose - functional classification
• Coil Type: Non Latching - operational behavior requirement
• Series Compatibility: MY series - mechanical and electrical compatibility within the product line

The MY4-GS-R DC6 maintains identical core electrical specifications while introducing socketable mounting capability, making it a direct functional equivalent suitable for replacement applications.
