Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MY4N-GS DC6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Coil Voltage: Must be 6VDC to maintain circuit compatibility
• Contact Form: Must be 4PDT (4 Form C) to preserve switching functionality
• Switching Voltage Rating: Must support 250VAC, 220VDC maximum to ensure safe operation in the target application
• Coil Type: Must be Non Latching to match operational behavior
• Relay Type: Must be General Purpose to align with application requirements
• RoHS Compliance: Must maintain RoHS Compliant status for regulatory adherence

The MY4N-GS-R DC6 satisfies all these criteria while offering an active product status and enhanced features including socketable mounting, mechanical and lighted indicators, and documented electrical performance specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MY4N-GS-R DC6 is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete MY4N-GS DC6. Both components share identical core electrical specifications: 6VDC coil voltage, 4PDT contact configuration, and 250VAC/220VDC maximum switching voltage rating. Both maintain RoHS Compliance status, satisfying regulatory requirements.

The MY4N-GS-R DC6 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. The socketable mounting design and documented electrical performance parameters (coil current, operate/release times, operating temperature range) provide enhanced design flexibility and system integration clarity compared to the obsolete variant.

Selection of the MY4N-GS-R DC6 is appropriate for applications requiring direct functional replacement of the MY4N-GS DC6, particularly in new designs or system upgrades where long-term component availability is a consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MY4N-GS-R DC6 directly replace the MY4N-GS DC6 in existing circuits?

A: Yes. Both relays share identical coil voltage (6VDC), contact form (4PDT), and maximum switching voltage (250VAC, 220VDC). The MY4N-GS-R DC6 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and maintains functional equivalence for general purpose relay applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The MY4N-GS-R DC6 features socketable mounting with plug-in termination, whereas the MY4N-GS DC6 mounting type is not specified. The substitute also includes mechanical and lighted indicator features and is classified as an active product, compared to the obsolete status of the original part.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The MY4N-GS DC6 is listed with unspecified packaging, while the MY4N-GS-R DC6 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Do both relays meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the MY4N-GS DC6 and MY4N-GS-R DC6 are RoHS Compliant, satisfying regulatory requirements for restricted substance use.

Q: What coil current should be expected in circuit design?

A: The MY4N-GS-R DC6 operates at 151 mA coil current with a coil resistance of 39.8 Ohms. Use these specifications for power supply and control circuit calculations. The original MY4N-GS DC6 coil current is not documented.

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

A: The MY4N-GS-R DC6 operates across -40°C to 70°C. The operating temperature range for the MY4N-GS DC6 is not specified in available documentation.
