PS7206-1A-F3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PS7206-1A-F3 is a Solid State Relay (SSR) manufactured by CEL, configured as a SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) device in a 4-SOP surface mount package. This component is designed for switching applications with a maximum load current of 600 mA across a 0–60 V DC/AC range, controlled by a 1.2 VDC input signal.

The PS7206-1A-F3 is classified as an obsolete product. Locating equivalent or substitute components is necessary to support ongoing maintenance, repair, and new design requirements where this part is specified or where inventory depletion necessitates alternative sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PS7206-1A-F3 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Circuit Configuration: Both the main part and substitute must be SPST-NO (1 Form A) to maintain identical switching functionality.

Package and Termination: The 4-SOP (0.173", 4.40mm) package with Gull Wing termination is mandatory for PCB compatibility and automated assembly processes.

Voltage Ratings: The load voltage range (0–60 V) and input control voltage must be compatible or exceed the original specification.

Load Current Capacity: The substitute must support the required 600 mA load current or higher to ensure reliable operation under specified conditions.

Output Type: AC/DC output capability must be maintained.

The AQY212GSX meets all these criteria and is therefore classified as a direct substitute for the PS7206-1A-F3.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AQY212GSX (Panasonic Electric Works) is a qualified substitute for the PS7206-1A-F3 based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Equivalence: Both devices are SPST-NO solid state relays with identical circuit configuration, package geometry, and load voltage rating. The AQY212GSX supports the required 600 mA load current and exceeds this specification at 1 A, providing operational margin.

Product Status: The PS7206-1A-F3 is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The AQY212GSX is an active product with confirmed inventory availability (20,100 pcs), ensuring long-term supply chain reliability.

Compliance and Standards: The AQY212GSX is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The original PS7206-1A-F3 is RoHS non-compliant, making the substitute preferable for new designs and applications subject to environmental regulations.

Electrical Performance: The AQY212GSX demonstrates superior electrical characteristics with lower on-state resistance (700 mOhms vs. 800 mOhms), resulting in reduced power dissipation and improved thermal performance.

Package Compatibility: Identical 4-SOP package dimensions and Gull Wing termination ensure direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AQY212GSX directly replace the PS7206-1A-F3 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both devices share identical package geometry (4-SOP, 0.173" / 4.40mm), termination style (Gull Wing), and mounting type (Surface Mount). No PCB layout changes are required.

Q: What is the difference in input voltage between these two parts?

A: The PS7206-1A-F3 requires 1.2 VDC input, while the AQY212GSX requires 1.32 VDC. This 0.12 V difference is within acceptable control circuit tolerances and does not prevent substitution in standard applications.

Q: Does the AQY212GSX handle the same load current as the PS7206-1A-F3?

A: The AQY212GSX is rated for 1 A load current, exceeding the PS7206-1A-F3 specification of 600 mA. This provides additional operational headroom and is fully compatible with applications designed for 600 mA.

Q: Why is the AQY212GSX preferred over the obsolete PS7206-1A-F3?

A: The AQY212GSX is an active product with current manufacturing support, ROHS3 compliance, and superior electrical characteristics. The PS7206-1A-F3 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, making it unsuitable for new designs and difficult to source.

Q: Are there any circuit design modifications required when switching from PS7206-1A-F3 to AQY212GSX?

A: No circuit modifications are required. The AQY212GSX operates within the same voltage and current parameters as the PS7206-1A-F3 and maintains identical SPST-NO switching functionality.

Q: What is the HTSUS classification for both parts?

A: Both the PS7206-1A-F3 and AQY212GSX share the same HTSUS code: 8536.41.0030, confirming their classification as solid state relay components.
