Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RI60GP1015 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Circuit Configuration: SPST-NO topology must be maintained for direct substitution.

Electrical Ratings: Current switching capacity of 500mA (AC/DC), AC voltage rating of 140V, and DC voltage rating of 200V must be met or exceeded.

Power Rating: 10W rated power must be supported.

Mechanical Compatibility: Through-hole mounting with axial termination style is required for PCB integration without redesign.

Operating Temperature: -55°C to 125°C range must be supported.

Physical Dimensions: Overall length of 1.811" (46.00mm) and body size of 0.071" Dia x 0.394" L (1.80mm x 10.00mm) establish form factor constraints.

Compliance Requirements: RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status must be maintained.

The substitute part RI-60GP1015 (active product status) meets all specified parameters and is classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RI-60GP1015 (active product status) is the direct functional equivalent of the obsolete RI60GP1015. All electrical, mechanical, and thermal parameters are identical. The active variant carries ROHS3 compliance, which supersedes the RoHS compliance of the obsolete part, representing an improvement in regulatory alignment.

For new designs and production applications, the RI-60GP1015 should be selected as the primary component. For legacy system repairs or maintenance requiring exact part matching, the RI-60GP1015 provides complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with no design modifications required.

Both parts maintain REACH unaffected status and identical moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1 - Unlimited), ensuring consistent handling and storage requirements across supply chain operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RI-60GP1015 be used as a direct replacement for RI60GP1015 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RI-60GP1015 is electrically and mechanically identical to RI60GP1015. All switching parameters, voltage ratings, current capacity, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions match exactly. No circuit modifications or PCB redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference between the obsolete RI60GP1015 and active RI-60GP1015?

A: The primary difference is product status. RI60GP1015 is obsolete and no longer manufactured. RI-60GP1015 is the active equivalent with identical specifications. The active part carries ROHS3 compliance versus RoHS compliance on the obsolete variant.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The obsolete RI60GP1015 was supplied in standard packaging. The active RI-60GP1015 is available in bulk packaging. Both maintain identical component specifications and through-hole axial termination for PCB mounting.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility for this reed switch?

A: Substitution is determined by: SPST-NO circuit configuration, 500mA switching current (AC/DC), 140V AC and 200V DC voltage ratings, 10W power rating, through-hole mounting with axial termination, -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range, and identical physical dimensions (1.811" overall length, 0.071" Dia x 0.394" L body size).

Q: Is the RI-60GP1015 suitable for both AC and DC switching applications?

A: Yes. The RI-60GP1015 is rated for 500mA switching current in both AC and DC modes, with AC voltage rating of 140V and DC voltage rating of 200V. It is suitable for applications requiring either AC or DC switching operation within these electrical parameters.

Q: What is the operate and release time specification for this reed switch?

A: Operate time is 0.15 milliseconds and release time is 0.02 milliseconds. These timing parameters are identical for both the obsolete and active variants.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory considerations when substituting these parts?

A: Both parts maintain REACH unaffected status and identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited). The active RI-60GP1015 carries ROHS3 compliance, which is current regulatory alignment. No additional compliance considerations apply to the substitution.
