  • Extreme electronics gurus... PCB relay dilemma...

    Ok, need to replace a few relays on a PCB. Its a Potter & Brumfield/Tyco relay, part number t90S1D42-15. Its a 30 amp DC 15v coil type. NOONE has the 15v coil one in stock. They have 12, 18, 22, 24... but of course no 15v ones. I need this relay because its physically a specific size.

    Here is the datasheet for the t90 series relays: http://relays.tycoelectronics.com/da...ts/T90N_DS.pdf

    My question is, would I be able to use a different voltage coil without and adverse side effects? Ill admit, while I can build anything PCB related under the sun, Im not that good with voltages and whatnot. Would 15v be enough to pop an 81v coil?

    Thanks in advance!

        Use the 12. I routinely use them at over 14 volts. Another volt isn't gonna make a difference. On the 18, the coil may or may not actuate.
