Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The PY08-02 qualifies as a direct substitute for the SM2S-61 based on the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: Both parts feature 8-position configuration
• Mounting Type: Both utilize through-hole mounting technology
• Termination Style: Both employ PC pin termination
• Type: Both are relay sockets
• Product Status: Both maintain Active status in manufacturer portfolios

These parameters define the functional and mechanical compatibility requirements for relay socket substitution in PCB applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SM2S-61 and PY08-02 maintain Active product status, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and availability. The PY08-02 provides documented compliance certifications including ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, which may be required for specific regulatory environments or end-use applications. Selection between these parts should be based on supply availability, packaging requirements (Bulk versus Tray), and applicable compliance mandates for the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the PY08-02 a valid substitute for the SM2S-61?

A: Both parts share identical critical parameters: 8-position configuration, through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, and socket type. These parameters define functional and mechanical compatibility for relay socket applications.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between these parts?

A: Yes. The SM2S-61 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the PY08-02 is supplied in Tray packaging. Packaging selection depends on procurement volume and handling requirements.

Q: What compliance information is available for these parts?

A: The PY08-02 provides documented ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Compliance documentation for the SM2S-61 was not provided in the source data.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Substitution is valid based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters. However, physical footprint verification and relay compatibility with the target relay series (RM, RU, or MY) must be confirmed for specific applications.

Q: What is the difference between the SM2S-61 series designation and the PY08-02 series designation?

A: The SM2S-61 belongs to the S series, while the PY08-02 belongs to the MY series. Series designation reflects manufacturer product line organization and does not affect substitution validity when core parameters match.
