Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RC2V-C-D5 qualifies as a direct substitute for the RJ2V-C-D5 based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Electrical Characteristics:

• Coil voltage: 5VDC (identical)
• Contact form: DPDT (2 Form C) (identical)
• Contact rating: 8 A (identical)
• Coil current: 106 mA (identical)
• Coil type: Non Latching (identical)
• Must operate voltage: 4.6 VDC (identical)
• Must release voltage: 0.5 VDC (identical)

Matching Mechanical Characteristics:

• Mounting type: Through Hole (identical)
• Termination style: PC Pin (identical)

The RC2V-C-D5 belongs to the same manufacturer family (IDEC) and maintains functional equivalence across all primary switching and coil parameters, confirming substitutability in applications requiring the RJ2V-C-D5 specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC2V-C-D5 is the recommended substitute for the RJ2V-C-D5. The RC2V-C-D5 maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification, providing long-term availability and regulatory compliance assurance.

The RC2V-C-D5 offers enhanced switching voltage ratings (440VAC, 300VDC maximum versus 250VAC, 125VDC), providing greater margin in high-voltage switching applications. The faster release time (5 ms versus 10 ms) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C versus -40°C ~ 70°C) represent performance improvements suitable for demanding environments.

Contact material composition differs (AgSnO/Au versus AgNi), reflecting the RC2V-C-D5 design for improved contact reliability and longevity. Coil resistance tolerance remains within acceptable engineering margins (47 Ohms versus 47.2 Ohms).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RC2V-C-D5 directly replace the RJ2V-C-D5 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both relays share identical coil voltage (5VDC), contact configuration (DPDT), current rating (8A), coil current (106 mA), and through-hole PC pin termination. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What are the differences between these two relays?

A: The RC2V-C-D5 provides higher maximum switching voltage ratings (440VAC/300VDC versus 250VAC/125VDC), faster release time (5 ms versus 10 ms), extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 70°C), and improved contact materials (AgSnO/Au versus AgNi). These represent performance enhancements rather than functional changes.

Q: Why is the RJ2V-C-D5 classified as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The RC2V-C-D5 is the active equivalent within the IDEC relay portfolio, ensuring continued supply and support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The RJ2V-C-D5 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the RC2V-C-D5 is supplied in Tube packaging. Both are suitable for PCB assembly; packaging selection depends on production volume and handling requirements.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the RC2V-C-D5?

A: The RC2V-C-D5 is ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8536.41.0020. These certifications confirm regulatory compliance for industrial and commercial applications.
