    Hot Tub Power Supply - In Need of Comparable Relay

    I have a power supply board to a hot tub that a customer brought in to me. He says that one of the relays on it is bad. He can hear it click and it does appear to be damaged visibly. I am having trouble sourcing the part because everywhere I have looked is out of stock due to the part being obsolete now.

    I was wondering if anyone here could recommend a substitute that would work. I'll give you all of the info I have on it.

    Part Number: ALF1TF12

    Datasheet: https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/pdfs/...35596d7749.pdf



    Contact Arrangement: Form 1 A

    ) Compressor load: 20A 250V AC
    2) Inverter load: 20A 100V AC,
    10A 200V AC
    2. High insulation resistance
    • Creepage distance and clearances
    between contact and coil;
    Creepage Min. 9.5mm
    .374inch
    /
    Clearance Min. 8mm
    .315inch
    • Surge withstand voltage: 10,000V
    I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

    Or drop the (f) and mouser also has it, none of the datasheets say anything about the (F), so what the F

        'F' is the UL Class F insulation.

            Thanks guys. So even without the UL Class F, should the relay you linked me to work R_J? Budm?

              Maybe

              It might not last as long as would ( F ) type one

                Re: Hot Tub Power Supply - In Need of Comparable Relay

                I see no reason why it would'nt, It does appear to be Coil insulation class F. UL Class F
                I don't see what choice you have if the original part is obsolete. Does the board have a layout where an alternative type of relay could be installed?

                  Just wanted to report back -

                  I ordered the relay suggested and it worked. Successful repair. Thanks again, guys! This forum is the best.

                    Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                    by Tynan Dill
                    I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                    Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                    I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                    The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                    With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                    Assuming...

                    Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
                    by sam_sam_sam
                    I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

                    One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

                    Mitsubishi CNC switching power supply board dead / relay board bad diode failure
                    by sam_sam_sam
                    I was working on this CNC machine today found no keyboard functioning no control relay powering on
                    The screen powered on and was giving an operation error but the manual was not very clear about what the error exactly was but with a little bit of troubleshooting and finding out that the control relays not powering on and no keyboard functions we narrowed down to this one switching power supply which of course does not have any indicator LED light they are on the keyboard interface/relay controller board

                    Found shorted diodes on main controller relays there are 3 of them that...

                    Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
                    by sam_sam_sam
                    I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

                    I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...

                    Definitive technology SC 2000 subwoofer amp's power supply clicking and popping
                    by JimBanville
                    The sub developed a constant popping every couple seconds from woofer and power LED flickering with nothing but wall AC connected. Connecting an audio cable didn't change anything. It doesn't play but a second or two of audio in between the pops.
                    Opened it up and discovered the power supply is making a faint clicking or ticking sound.
                    I measured the amp's output to the woofer and it pulses up to 50mv DC to be driver. The pulses coincide with the power supply ticking/clicking.
                    I measured the power supply output going to the amp board and it too has this pulsing. Voltage cycles...
