ZCI08 Relay Socket – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ZCI08 is an 8-position DIN rail relay socket manufactured by Carlo Gavazzi Inc., designed for use with RCI relay series. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for system maintenance and component procurement.

The ZCI08 functions as a socket interface for relay modules, providing screw terminal connections on a standard DIN rail mounting platform. Due to its obsolete status, sourcing equivalent alternatives is necessary for ongoing system support and replacement scenarios.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ZCI08 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: Must be 8
• Mounting Type: Must be DIN Rail
• Termination Style: Must be Screw Terminal
• Type: Must be Socket

The ZPD8A meets all four core substitution criteria. While the ZPD8A is associated with RCP relay series (compared to the ZCI08's RCI series), both are Carlo Gavazzi Inc. products with identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications. The ZPD8A carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ZPD8A is the qualified substitute for the ZCI08 based on matching electrical and mechanical specifications. The ZPD8A's active product status provides supply chain continuity and manufacturer support, addressing the obsolescence of the original ZCI08 component.

Selection of the ZPD8A eliminates procurement risk associated with end-of-life inventory constraints on the ZCI08. Both components share identical interface parameters: 8-position configuration, DIN rail mounting, and screw terminal termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ZPD8A directly replace the ZCI08 in existing installations? A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications: 8 positions, DIN rail mounting, and screw terminal termination. The ZPD8A is mechanically and electrically compatible with the ZCI08.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution? A: The ZCI08 is classified as obsolete. The ZPD8A is an active product from the same manufacturer, ensuring availability and ongoing technical support.

Q: Are there differences in relay compatibility? A: The ZCI08 is specified for RCI relay series, while the ZPD8A is specified for RCP relay series. Both are Carlo Gavazzi Inc. relay products with compatible socket interfaces.

Q: What packaging is available for the ZPD8A? A: Packaging information for the ZPD8A was not provided in the technical specifications.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences? A: Both components share identical REACH and ECCN classifications as applicable to this product category.
