A high end member of the RT family, the SCHRACK RT-i Power high-inrush
relay from Tyco Electronics is designed to handle peak inrush currents
up to 800A. With a rated carry current of 16A, the relay is capable
of switching a variety of capacitive and lighting type loads, especially
incandescent and fluorescent lamps.
Key design features include a single normally-open (N/O) contact
design with a tungsten pre-mate to absorb the inrush current energy;
silver tin oxide carry contacts; reinforced insulation; ambient
operating temperature to 85°C; 10mm coil contact clearance;
5kV dielectric strength; and inrush peak current ratings of 800A
for 200m S (fluorescent lamps) and 165A for 20mS (incandescent lamps).
The RT-i Power relay has an industry standard footprint that enables
an easy upgrade and replacement path as well as compatibility with
other SCHRACK relays in the Tyco Electronics product range. Both
monostable 400mW DC coil and bistable/latching versions are available,
with the bistable versions offering an optional manual operator
switch to facilitate circuit test.
Environmentally friendly, the power
relay meets RoHS and WEEE requirements, and those for lead- and
cadmium-free components.
