Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RM84-2012-25-1024 and RM84-2012-35-1024 are Active status products from Altech Corporation and maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and procurement lead time, as all electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters are identical. The coil resistance values (1.44 kOhms and 1440 Ohms) are equivalent expressions of the same specification.

For applications requiring immediate availability, inventory status should be the primary selection criterion. Both parts are sealed with flux protection and suitable for through-hole PCB assembly in industrial control circuits operating within the -40°C to 85°C temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RM84-2012-35-1024 be used as a direct replacement for RM84-2012-25-1024?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical performance, contact configuration, coil voltage, current rating, and mechanical mounting characteristics. Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for these relay parts?

A: Substitution is based on matching coil voltage (24VDC), contact form (DPDT), current rating (8A), switching voltage (440VAC max), mounting type (through hole), termination style (PC pin), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH).

Q: Are there differences in coil resistance between these parts?

A: The coil resistance values are equivalent: 1.44 kOhms equals 1440 Ohms. This represents the same electrical specification expressed in different units and does not affect circuit performance.

Q: What is the significance of the sealed flux protection rating?

A: Sealed flux protection indicates the relay contacts are protected against flux contamination during PCB assembly processes, ensuring reliable contact performance and extended operational life in industrial environments.

Q: Can these relays be used in applications exceeding 440VAC switching voltage?

A: No. The maximum switching voltage rating is 440VAC. Applications requiring higher switching voltages require alternative relay designs with higher voltage ratings.

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

A: Both parts operate reliably across -40°C to 85°C. Applications outside this range require alternative relay specifications.
