RT78624 Relay Socket 5 Position DIN Rail Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT78624 is a relay socket designed for 5-position DIN rail mounting applications, manufactured by TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. The RT78624 remains available in limited inventory (878 pieces) as new original stock.

Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where continued supply of the original part cannot be guaranteed. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct compatibility with existing installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RT78624 is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 5 positions (electrical requirement)
• Mounting Type: DIN Rail (mechanical requirement)
• Termination Style: Screw Terminal (connection requirement)
• Series Compatibility: RT and SCHRACK series designation
• Component Type: Socket configuration

The substitute part 8-1415035-1 meets all these criteria, providing functional and mechanical equivalence to the RT78624. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the defined parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 8-1415035-1 is the direct equivalent for RT78624 applications. Selection between these parts is determined by availability and product status considerations:

RT78624: Use when existing inventory is available and immediate supply is not constrained. This part is obsolete and future availability cannot be assured.

8-1415035-1: Use for new designs, system expansions, and long-term applications requiring assured supply continuity. This part carries Active product status and is available in significantly higher inventory (20,099 pieces). The substitute is RoHS3 Compliant, providing enhanced environmental compliance compared to the main part specification.

Both parts are REACH Unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99, indicating identical regulatory treatment for export and compliance purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 8-1415035-1 directly replace RT78624 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts are 5-position DIN rail relay sockets with screw terminal connections from TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, enabling direct substitution without circuit or mechanical modifications.

Q: What is the primary difference between RT78624 and 8-1415035-1?

A: The primary difference is product status. RT78624 is obsolete with limited inventory (878 pieces), while 8-1415035-1 is active with substantially higher availability (20,099 pieces). Additionally, 8-1415035-1 is RoHS3 Compliant, whereas RoHS status is not specified for RT78624.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. RT78624 is supplied with unspecified packaging, while 8-1415035-1 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This distinction affects order quantities and handling but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Both parts share identical REACH Status (REACH Unaffected) and ECCN classification (EAR99), indicating equivalent regulatory treatment. The 8-1415035-1 provides additional RoHS3 Compliance certification.

Q: Which part should be selected for new system designs?

A: 8-1415035-1 is the appropriate selection for new designs due to its active product status, higher inventory availability, and RoHS3 Compliance. This ensures long-term supply continuity and environmental compliance standards.

Q: Are the base product numbers related?

A: The base product numbers differ (RT78 for RT78624 versus 1415035 for 8-1415035-1), but both parts function identically within the RT and SCHRACK series framework. The different base numbers reflect different manufacturing designations within the same product family.
