RY530006 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RY530006 is a general purpose relay manufactured by TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays, configured as a Single Pole Single Throw Normally Open (SPST-NO) device with an 8A contact rating and 6VDC coil voltage. This through-hole mounted relay is designed for standard switching applications requiring sealed, flux-protected contacts.

The RY530006 carries an obsolete product status, making it necessary to identify equivalent substitute components for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Active alternatives with identical electrical and mechanical specifications are available to ensure continuity of supply and design compatibility.

• Coil current: 37 mA
• Coil resistance: 162 Ohms
• Must operate voltage: 4.2 VDC
• Must release voltage: 0.6 VDC
• Operate time: 9 ms
• Release time: 5 ms

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Seal rating: Sealed - Flux Protection
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 70°C
• Coil type: Non Latching

The RY531006 qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete parameter alignment across all functional and physical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RY531006 is the direct substitute for the obsolete RY530006 general purpose relay. Both components share identical electrical performance characteristics and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional equivalence in circuit applications.

The RY531006 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Additionally, the RY531006 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

The contact material differs between the two parts: the RY530006 uses Silver Cadmium Oxide (AgCdO), while the RY531006 uses Silver Nickel (AgNi). Both materials are suitable for the specified 8A switching application at 400VAC maximum. The Silver Nickel contact material in the RY531006 aligns with modern environmental and regulatory standards.

Packaging differs between the two parts: the RY530006 is supplied in bulk format, while the RY531006 is supplied in tube packaging. This packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RY531006 directly replace the RY530006 in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. The RY531006 maintains identical electrical specifications including coil voltage (6VDC), contact form (SPST-NO), current rating (8A), switching voltage (400VAC maximum), coil current (37 mA), and timing characteristics (9 ms operate, 5 ms release). Mechanical specifications including through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, and operating temperature range (-40°C to 70°C) are also identical. Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference in contact material between these two relays?

A: The RY530006 uses Silver Cadmium Oxide (AgCdO) contacts, while the RY531006 uses Silver Nickel (AgNi) contacts. Both materials are rated for the same 8A switching application at 400VAC maximum. The Silver Nickel material in the RY531006 reflects current manufacturing standards and environmental compliance requirements.

Q: Why is the RY530006 listed as obsolete?

A: The RY530006 has reached end-of-life status in the manufacturer's product portfolio. The RY531006 is the active equivalent replacement, offering identical performance with current regulatory compliance certifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The RY530006 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the RY531006 is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Selection between packaging options depends on procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Does the RY531006 meet current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. The RY531006 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement and use.

Q: Are the coil resistance and current specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both relays have a coil resistance of 162 Ohms and coil current of 37 mA at 6VDC. Must operate voltage (4.2 VDC) and must release voltage (0.6 VDC) are also identical.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these relays?

A: Both the RY530006 and RY531006 have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without special moisture control requirements.
