Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RC1V-C-D5 qualifies as a direct substitute for the RJ1V-C-D5 based on the following critical parameters:

• Coil Voltage: Both parts operate at 5VDC
• Contact Configuration: Both feature SPDT (1 Form C) contact form
• Contact Rating: Both rated for 12A switching current
• Mounting Type: Both are through-hole mounted
• Termination Style: Both use PC Pin termination
• Coil Type: Both are non-latching relays

The RC1V-C-D5 is manufactured by IDEC and maintains functional and mechanical compatibility with the RJ1V-C-D5, with the primary distinction being product status (Active vs. Last Time Buy) and enhanced electrical performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC1V-C-D5 is the recommended substitute for the RJ1V-C-D5 based on the following factors:

Product Status: The RC1V-C-D5 maintains Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturing support, whereas the RJ1V-C-D5 is designated Last Time Buy.

Compliance and Certifications: The RC1V-C-D5 is ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes, providing regulatory alignment for modern applications.

Electrical Performance: The RC1V-C-D5 offers enhanced switching voltage ratings (440VAC, 300VDC maximum vs. 250VAC, 125VDC) and improved contact materials (Silver Tin Oxide with Gold plating vs. Silver Nickel), supporting broader application requirements.

Operational Characteristics: The RC1V-C-D5 demonstrates lower coil current (81 mA vs. 106 mA) and faster release time (5 ms vs. 10 ms), with extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C vs. -40°C to 70°C).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RC1V-C-D5 be used as a direct replacement for the RJ1V-C-D5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both relays share identical coil voltage (5VDC), contact configuration (SPDT), current rating (12A), mounting type (through-hole), and termination style (PC Pin). The RC1V-C-D5 maintains functional and mechanical compatibility with the RJ1V-C-D5.

Q: What are the key differences between these two relays?

A: The primary differences are product status (RC1V-C-D5 is Active; RJ1V-C-D5 is Last Time Buy), switching voltage ratings (RC1V-C-D5 supports higher ratings), contact materials (RC1V-C-D5 uses Silver Tin Oxide with Gold plating), coil current (RC1V-C-D5 draws 81 mA vs. 106 mA), release time (RC1V-C-D5 releases in 5 ms vs. 10 ms), and operating temperature range (RC1V-C-D5 extends to 85°C vs. 70°C).

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The RJ1V-C-D5 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the RC1V-C-D5 is supplied in Tube packaging. Both are through-hole mounted PCB relays with identical pin configurations.

Q: Does the RC1V-C-D5 have better reliability characteristics?

A: The RC1V-C-D5 features enhanced contact materials (Silver Tin Oxide with Gold plating) compared to the RJ1V-C-D5 (Silver Nickel), which can provide improved contact reliability and longevity in switching applications. The RC1V-C-D5 also demonstrates faster release time and lower coil current draw.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the RC1V-C-D5?

A: The RC1V-C-D5 is ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control. Moisture Sensitivity Level is 1 (Unlimited).
