PRD-7AG0-24 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PRD-7AG0-24 is a general purpose relay manufactured by TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays, configured as a DPST-NO (2 Form A) relay with a 24VAC coil and 30A contact rating. This relay is designed for chassis mount applications with screw terminal connections and operates at 240VAC nominal switching voltage.

The PRD-7AG0-24 carries an Obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain system functionality and ensure continued availability for replacement and new design applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PRD-7AG0-24 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. The following parameters must align for a part to function as a direct substitute:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Coil Voltage: 24VAC
• Contact Form: DPST-NO (2 Form A)
• Contact Rating (Current): 30 A
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
• Termination Style: Screw Terminal
• Coil Type: Non Latching
• Must Operate Voltage: 20.4 VAC or lower
• Relay Type: General Purpose

The MGN2A-AC24 from Omron Automation and Safety meets all critical substitution criteria. This part maintains identical coil voltage, contact configuration, current rating, mounting method, and termination style. Both relays operate at the same minimum operating voltage threshold and share the same relay classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MGN2A-AC24 is an active product substitute for the obsolete PRD-7AG0-24. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, ensuring regulatory alignment for procurement and deployment.

The MGN2A-AC24 provides enhanced switching voltage capability (600VAC maximum versus 240VAC nominal) and an extended upper operating temperature range (-45°C to 80°C versus -55°C to 45°C). The substitute part operates with marginally lower coil current (396 mA versus 410 mA) and coil resistance (11.5 Ohms versus 12 Ohms), both within acceptable tolerance for general purpose relay applications.

Timing characteristics differ slightly: the MGN2A-AC24 exhibits faster operate time (30 ms versus 40 ms) and slower release time (30 ms versus 20 ms). These differences are within typical relay performance variation and do not preclude substitution in standard general purpose applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MGN2A-AC24 directly replace the PRD-7AG0-24 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both relays share identical coil voltage (24VAC), contact configuration (DPST-NO), current rating (30A), mounting type (chassis mount), and termination style (screw terminal). The electrical and mechanical interfaces are compatible.

Q: What are the differences in operating characteristics between these two relays?

A: The MGN2A-AC24 operates faster during activation (30 ms versus 40 ms) but requires longer to release (30 ms versus 20 ms). The substitute part also supports higher switching voltages (600VAC maximum) and operates across a wider temperature range (-45°C to 80°C). Coil current and resistance values are nearly identical.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both relays are ROHS3 compliant with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.41.0050) classifications. Moisture sensitivity levels are equivalent at MSL 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Why is the PRD-7AG0-24 listed as obsolete?

A: The PRD-7AG0-24 carries an Obsolete product status from TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays. The MGN2A-AC24 is an active product from Omron Automation and Safety and is recommended for new designs and replacement applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these relays?

A: The PRD-7AG0-24 is packaged in standard format, while the MGN2A-AC24 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are suitable for chassis mount applications with screw terminal connections.

Q: What is the coil resistance tolerance between these parts?

A: The PRD-7AG0-24 has a coil resistance of 12 Ohms, while the MGN2A-AC24 measures 11.5 Ohms. This 0.5 Ohm difference represents approximately 4% variation and is within acceptable tolerance for general purpose relay circuits.
