RE034005K General Purpose Relay SPST 5V 6A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RE034005K is a general purpose relay manufactured by TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays. This SPST-NO (1 Form A) relay operates on a 5VDC coil and is rated for 6A switching capacity at up to 400VAC. The relay features through-hole mounting with PC pin termination and is fully sealed. The product is currently active and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for industrial control, automation, and general switching applications where reliable single-pole single-throw switching is required. Equivalent substitute parts are identified to provide procurement flexibility, alternative inventory sources, and packaging options while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RE034005K are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters that must match identically:

Electrical Parameters:

• Coil voltage: 5VDC
• Contact form: SPST-NO (1 Form A)
• Contact current rating: 6 A
• Maximum switching voltage: 400VAC
• Coil current: 40 mA
• Coil resistance: 125 Ohms
• Must operate voltage: 3.5 VDC
• Must release voltage: 0.5 VDC
• Operate time: 10 ms
• Release time: 5 ms

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Contact material: Silver Nickel (AgNi)
• Seal rating: Sealed - Fully
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 70°C

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS compliance status
• Coil insulation class: Class F
• Relay type: General Purpose
• Series: RE, SCHRACK

The substitute part 2-1416010-3 meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct parametric equivalent suitable for interchangeable use in applications requiring the RE034005K.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RE034005K and 2-1416010-3 are active products from TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on the following engineering considerations:

RE034005K is suitable for applications requiring standard packaging with 712 units currently in stock inventory.

2-1416010-3 is suitable for applications requiring bulk packaging with 1671 units currently in stock inventory. This part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, which exceeds the RoHS compliance of the primary part and provides enhanced regulatory coverage for applications subject to stricter environmental standards.

Both parts are fully sealed, operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 70°C, and feature identical switching characteristics with 10 ms operate time and 5 ms release time. The choice between these parts should be based on packaging requirements, inventory availability, and regulatory compliance needs specific to the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2-1416010-3 be used as a direct replacement for RE034005K?

A: Yes. The 2-1416010-3 is a direct parametric equivalent with identical coil voltage (5VDC), contact form (SPST-NO), current rating (6A), switching voltage (400VAC max), coil current (40 mA), coil resistance (125 Ohms), mounting type (through hole), termination style (PC pin), operating temperature range (-40°C to 70°C), and all timing specifications. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays and belong to the RE/SCHRACK series.

Q: What is the difference between RE034005K and 2-1416010-3?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and RoHS certification level. RE034005K uses standard packaging while 2-1416010-3 uses bulk packaging. Additionally, 2-1416010-3 carries ROHS3 compliance certification compared to RoHS compliance for RE034005K. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when substituting these parts?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both parts feature identical through-hole mounting with PC pin termination, fully sealed construction, and identical electrical characteristics. They are interchangeable in any application designed for either part number.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection should be based on packaging requirements and regulatory compliance needs. For applications requiring bulk quantities, 2-1416010-3 is appropriate. For applications subject to ROHS3 compliance requirements, 2-1416010-3 provides enhanced certification coverage. Both parts are active products suitable for new designs.

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

A: The coil operates on 5VDC nominal. The must-operate voltage is 3.5 VDC and the must-release voltage is 0.5 VDC. Maximum switching voltage on the contacts is 400VAC.

Q: Are these relays suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Both relays operate across the temperature range of -40°C to 70°C. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative relay selection.
