Narrative:

Given an assignment with parts ordered and on hold to replace the R48 [relay]. Deferral was updated with parts needed. It [relay] looks different than the other three [relays] installed; but match R48. Upon checking the online illustrated parts catalog (ipc) 28-22-51-006a under item-25 with company part numbers (P/north) and sub-section-25 with manufacturer's (mfg) parts number that do not cross to company part numbers; [I] was not aware that replacement relay is a non-stock part. Since pre and post-service bulletin (south/B) part numbers (P/north) are both under the same company part number item at the moment; I believed I was installing the correct part.
