SH3B-62 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SH3B-62 is an 11-position relay socket designed for through-hole PCB mounting with PC pin termination. Manufactured by IDEC as part of the SH series, this socket is engineered for use with RH series relays. The part maintains Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected classification. Identifying equivalent substitute parts becomes necessary when managing supply chain continuity, inventory optimization, or when sourcing from alternative manufacturers while maintaining functional and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SH3B-62 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: Must be 11 positions to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating relay contacts
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole to maintain PCB assembly compatibility
• Termination Style: Must be PC Pin to ensure proper solder joint formation and electrical continuity
• Type: Must be Socket to function as a receptacle for relay insertion
• Compliance Standards: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status for regulatory alignment

The PT11-0 manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety meets all substitution criteria across these parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SH3B-62 and PT11-0 maintain Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support and availability. Both parts carry identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on supply chain availability, lead time requirements, and inventory management objectives. The PT11-0 is designed for use with LY series relays and 3PDT configurations, while the SH3B-62 is specified for RH series relays. Verify relay series compatibility with your specific application before final component selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PT11-0 be used as a direct replacement for the SH3B-62?

A: The PT11-0 shares all critical substitution parameters with the SH3B-62: 11 positions, through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, and identical compliance standards. However, the PT11-0 is designed for LY series relays while the SH3B-62 is specified for RH series relays. Compatibility depends on whether your application can accommodate the different relay series.

Q: What parameters must match for socket substitution?

A: The number of positions, mounting type, and termination style must be identical. Both the SH3B-62 and PT11-0 maintain these specifications at 11 positions, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulations?

A: Yes. Both the SH3B-62 and PT11-0 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: What is the difference between the SH and LY series designations?

A: The series designation indicates the relay family for which each socket is engineered. The SH3B-62 is designed for RH series relays, while the PT11-0 is designed for LY series relays. These represent different relay families from their respective manufacturers.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting between these parts?

A: Both parts are available in bulk packaging with active inventory. The SH3B-62 has 1110 pieces in stock, while the PT11-0 has 1078 pieces in stock. Selection may be influenced by immediate availability and supply chain lead times.
