Power relays now feature even wider temperature range

September 2005...Tyco Electronics' upgraded range of single pole, 16A RF power relays now meets VDE approval at 120°C. They combine excellent power handling and temperature characteristics with compact size and the convenience of FASTON terminals.

Rated at 16A with 250Vac loads, these relays feature a maximum switching capacity of 4000VA, and an operate/release time of 10mS. Their operational temperature range is -40 to +120°C, and mechanical life is 30 million cycles. Both normally-open or normallyclosed, single-pole contact versions are available, and FASTON terminals, included for the load side, are configured for either vertical or horizontal fixing.

Other salient features include a coil power of 400mW, and reinforced insulation in accordance with EN 61810, 60335 and 60730. A WG version is fabricated using materials in accordance with the new IEC 60335-1 clause 30 requirements, especially important for the applications in domestic appliances, such as oven controls, microwaves and heating, as well as power supplies, at which the relay is targetted.
