FAQ - Difference between H3Y-2 and H3Y-2-C

Modified on Thu, 25 Sep at 10:20 AM

Q: What are the differences between H3Y-2 and H3Y-2-C timers?


A: The main difference is the power indicator LED color:

H3Y-2: Orange LED

H3Y-2-C: Green LED


The H3Y-2-C is intended for the Asian Market (China, Taiwan, Korea) and is not sold in the Americas.


Both models share the same design, dimensions, pin configuration, time ranges, and socket compatibility. The only additional technical difference is a small variation in electrical life expectancy:


H3Y-2: 500,000 operations minimum (5A at 250 VAC, resistive load)

H3Y-2-C: 400,00 operations minimum
