Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TQ2SL-6V-Z is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Coil voltage: 6VDC
• Contact form: DPDT (2 Form C)
• Contact rating: 2 A minimum
• Coil current: 23.3 mA
• Coil resistance: 257 Ohms
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Termination style: Gull Wing
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C minimum
• Coil type: Non Latching
• Product status: Active

The IM04GR from TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays meets all substitution criteria. Both components share identical coil voltage, contact form, contact rating, coil current, coil resistance, mounting configuration, and operating temperature specifications. Functional equivalence is established through matching electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TQ2SL-6V-Z and IM04GR maintain active product status with current manufacturing support. The TQ2SL-6V-Z carries RoHS Compliance certification, while the IM04GR meets ROHS3 Compliance and includes hermetic sealing with MSL 3 (168 Hours) rating. The IM04GR provides enhanced switching voltage capability (250VAC versus 125VAC) and faster switching response (3 ms versus 4 ms operate and release times). Component selection should be based on application-specific requirements for switching voltage, sealing requirements, and switching speed performance. Both components are suitable for telecommunications relay applications requiring DPDT switching at 2A contact rating with 6VDC coil excitation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes IM04GR a valid substitute for TQ2SL-6V-Z?

A: The IM04GR meets all critical substitution parameters: identical 6VDC coil voltage, DPDT contact form, 2A contact rating, 23.3 mA coil current, 257 Ohms coil resistance, surface mount gull wing termination, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. Both components are non-latching telecom relays with matching electrical specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The TQ2SL-6V-Z is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while the IM04GR is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Both are surface mount components with gull wing termination compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: How do switching voltage ratings differ?

A: The TQ2SL-6V-Z supports 125VAC and 220VDC maximum switching voltage. The IM04GR supports 250VAC and 220VDC maximum switching voltage. The IM04GR provides higher AC switching capability.

Q: What is the significance of the hermetic sealing on IM04GR?

A: The IM04GR includes hermetic sealing with MSL 3 (168 Hours) rating, providing enhanced protection against moisture ingress. The TQ2SL-6V-Z does not specify a seal rating. Hermetic sealing is beneficial in high-humidity or harsh environmental applications.

Q: Do switching times differ between these relays?

A: The TQ2SL-6V-Z operates and releases in 4 ms. The IM04GR operates and releases in 3 ms. The IM04GR provides faster switching response, which may be advantageous in time-sensitive applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The TQ2SL-6V-Z is RoHS Compliant. The IM04GR is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet lead-free and hazardous substance restrictions for electronics manufacturing.
