JZC-1M RG4.553.029 27V Military Metal Sealed Relay – Direct Replacement for Russia Relay, DPDT for Aviation & Drone Systems
Product Overview
The JZC-1M RG4.553.029 is a hermetically sealed, military‑grade Metal Sealing Relay designed as a direct form‑fit‑function replacement for obsolete Russian relays (e.g., RG4.553.029 series). This Military Metal Relay features a DPDT (2 Form C) contact configuration, 8‑pin metal can package, and 27V DC coil (compatible with 28V aircraft systems). With ultra‑low coil power consumption (0.3–0.43W), fast operate/release time (≤4ms), and high dielectric strength (500Vrms), the JZC‑1M is ideal for flight control, drone power distribution, avionics, radar, and engine management systems. Its glass‑to‑metal sealed construction guarantees leakage ≤10⁻³ Pa·cm³/s, protecting internal contacts from moisture, fuel vapors, and altitude pressure changes. As a core product in YM’s Military Relay portfolio – which includes Polarized Relay, Latching Relay, PCB Board Relay, Automotive Relay, and Industrial Power Relay – the JZC‑1M delivers uncompromised reliability for legacy upgrades and new defense programs.

Key Features & Advantages – Direct Russia Relay Replacement
- Exact replacement for RG4.553.029: Same pinout, mounting dimensions, and electrical ratings – no redesign required for legacy Russian equipment.
- Hermetic metal sealing (≤10⁻³ Pa·cm³/s): Glass‑to‑metal seal protects against moisture, salt spray, fuel vapors, and altitude changes – ensures reliable operation in unpressurized aircraft bays and drone compartments.
- Ultra‑low coil power (0.3–0.43W): Reduces heat generation and power supply load – ideal for battery‑backed avionics and long‑endurance drones.
- Fast switching (≤4ms) & high isolation: 500Vrms dielectric strength and >500MΩ insulation prevent crosstalk in mixed‑signal environments.
- Wide temperature & vibration tolerance: -65°C to +125°C and 20g vibration meet RTCA/DO‑160 and MIL‑STD‑810 – suitable for fighters, drones, helicopters, and ground vehicles.
- Excellent low‑level signal switching: Gold‑plated contacts reliably switch down to 10μA / 10mV – perfect for sensor multiplexing, avionics I/O, and mission computers.
YM’s engineering advantage: The JZC‑1M leverages advanced magnetic circuit technology from our Latching relay and Polarized Relay families, ensuring consistent contact force and minimal bounce. As a true Military Metal Relay , it outperforms obsolete Russian relays in hermeticity and contact life. For complete system integration, YM also offers Aviation Microswitch, Aviation Rocker Switch, and Military Aviation Connector – a one‑stop solution for defense upgrades.
How to Use the JZC-1M (Russia Relay Replacement) – Step by Step
- Verify pinout compatibility: Compare the JZC‑1M pinout diagram with your existing RG4.553.029 socket – they are identical (DPDT, 8‑pin metal can base).
- Remove old relay: Desolder or unplug the existing Russian relay from the PCB or socket. Clean the pads/socket with isopropyl alcohol.
- Install JZC‑1M: Insert the new relay into the socket or PCB holes. Ensure correct orientation (pin 1 indicator).
- Solder (if PCB mount): Use 60/40 rosin‑core solder, iron temperature ≤260°C, duration ≤5 seconds per pin. Avoid flux ingress.
- Coil drive: Apply +27V DC to the coil pins (observe polarity). The relay will energize when voltage exceeds 20.25V (75% of nominal).
- Functional test: Energize the coil and measure contact resistance across each pole (should be ≤50mΩ). De‑energize and verify insulation >10MΩ between open contacts.
Pro tip for logistics: YM provides a full technical data package including CAGE code, NSN assignment support, and full traceability – simplifying military procurement and sustainment.
