Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SZX-SLB-08P is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 8-position configuration
• Mounting Type: Through-hole PCB mounting
• Termination Style: PC pin termination
• Socket Type: Relay socket for LY series relays
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance and EAR99 export classification
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 rating (unlimited shelf life)

The PT08-0 manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety meets all specified parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete SZX-SLB-08P.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PT08-0 is the qualified substitute for the SZX-SLB-08P based on the following engineering criteria:

Compliance Alignment: Both components maintain identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, ensuring regulatory consistency in procurement and export documentation.

RoHS Compliance: The PT08-0 exceeds the original RoHS compliance requirement with ROHS3 certification, providing enhanced environmental compliance for new designs and manufacturing processes.

Functional Equivalence: Matching electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters—8-position configuration, through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, and MSL 1 rating—ensure direct functional replacement without circuit redesign.

Product Status: The PT08-0 maintains active production status with confirmed inventory availability (3929 pieces), eliminating supply chain risk associated with the obsolete SZX-SLB-08P.

Series Compatibility: The PT08-0 is specified for LY series relay compatibility, which encompasses the SZR-LY series application of the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PT08-0 be used as a direct replacement for the SZX-SLB-08P without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical mounting type (through-hole), termination style (PC pin), and position count (8), enabling direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout changes.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 rating for both components?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life with no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Both the SZX-SLB-08P and PT08-0 require no special storage conditions or baking procedures prior to assembly.

Q: Does the ROHS3 compliance of the PT08-0 create compatibility issues with designs originally specified for RoHS compliance?

A: No. ROHS3 compliance is a superset of RoHS compliance, meaning the PT08-0 meets or exceeds all original environmental requirements. This upgrade presents no compatibility concerns.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the SZX-SLB-08P and PT08-0?

A: The SZX-SLB-08P is packaged in standard format, while the PT08-0 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both formats contain identical components; packaging selection depends on procurement and inventory management requirements.

Q: What relay series are compatible with the PT08-0?

A: The PT08-0 is specified for LY series relays, including SPDT and DPDT configurations. The SZR-LY series falls within this compatibility range.

Q: Are export restrictions different between the two components?

A: No. Both components share the same ECCN classification (EAR99), indicating identical export control treatment and regulatory requirements.
