RT314060 General Purpose Relay SPDT 16A 60V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT314060 is a general purpose relay manufactured by TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays, designed for through-hole mounting applications. This SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) relay operates at 60VDC coil voltage with a 16A contact rating and supports switching voltages up to 400VAC maximum. The relay features sealed flux protection and Class F coil insulation, making it suitable for industrial control and switching applications. The part is currently active in inventory with 735 units in stock. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when design revisions require alternative sourcing, or when supply chain optimization requires qualified alternatives.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RT314060 are qualified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the general purpose relay category. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters that must match or exceed the main part specifications:

Electrical Parameters:

• Coil voltage: 60VDC
• Contact form: SPDT (1 Form C)
• Contact rating: 16 A minimum
• Switching voltage: 400VAC maximum or higher
• Coil current: 7 mA
• Coil type: Non Latching
• Coil resistance: 8.57 kOhms
• Must operate voltage: 42 VDC
• Must release voltage: 6 VDC
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C minimum

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Contact material: Silver Nickel (AgNi)
• Seal rating: Sealed - Flux Protection
• Coil insulation: Class F

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS compliance status
• REACH status
• Moisture sensitivity level

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes for the RT314060.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The part 1-1393240-7 is a parametric equivalent to the RT314060 based on complete electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. All critical specifications including coil voltage, contact form, current rating, switching voltage, timing characteristics, and operating temperature range are identical between the two parts.

Product Status Consideration: The RT314060 maintains active product status with current inventory availability (735 units in stock). The substitute part 1-1393240-7 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, which limits its availability for new designs or long-term supply chain planning. The RT314060 is the preferred selection for new applications requiring assured supply continuity.

Compliance Status: Both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The RT314060 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, while the substitute carries RoHS compliance. Both parts maintain MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Application Compatibility: The identical electrical and mechanical parameters ensure direct functional substitution in existing circuit designs. Pin configuration, mounting footprint, and PC pin termination are identical, allowing direct board-level replacement without circuit modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-1393240-7 be used as a direct replacement for the RT314060 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1-1393240-7 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications, contact form, current rating, coil voltage, switching voltage, timing characteristics, and operating temperature range. The through-hole mounting and PC pin termination are identical, enabling direct board-level substitution without circuit redesign.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is product status. The RT314060 is currently active with available inventory, while the 1-1393240-7 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.41.0050) classifications. The RT314060 carries ROHS3 certification while the substitute carries RoHS certification. Both maintain MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) rating. These differences do not affect functional compatibility or application suitability.

Q: Which part should be selected for a new design?

A: The RT314060 is the recommended selection for new designs due to its active product status and current inventory availability. This ensures long-term supply chain reliability and design continuity.

Q: Are the coil resistance and operating voltage specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical coil resistance of 8.57 kOhms, must operate voltage of 42 VDC, must release voltage of 6 VDC, and coil current of 7 mA. Operating and release times are also identical at 8 ms and 6 ms respectively.

Q: What is the contact material used in both relays?

A: Both the RT314060 and 1-1393240-7 use Silver Nickel (AgNi) contact material with sealed flux protection and Class F coil insulation, ensuring consistent switching performance and reliability across the operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
