General-purpose miniature power relay

Designed for applications in the appliance, lighting, controls and similar industries, the new miniature AZ 576 series relay, from Zettler, meets ever-increasing demands for more power, more cycles and higher ambient temperatures, says the company. Establishing best-in-class standards in terms of UL performance the 20 A power relay solution performs at 277VAC at an ambient temperature up to 85° C (185° F) with ratings of 20A for 30k cycles. At 105C it has ratings of 17A for 100k cycles (1 Form A) as well as for 30 k cycles (1 Form C). Coil voltages range from 3 to 110VDC. At nominal coil voltage operate time is typically less than 8ms with release time of typically less than 4ms. Pin spacing is an industry-standard (5.0 mm). General purpose, pilot duty, HP, inductive, and TV loads round out the top UL ratings. A 5kV coil-contact dielectric strength and a 10kV surge resistance ensure that the AZ576 is robust enough for even highly susceptible applications. Class F insulation (155C) is standard. Additionally, the relay is available in an epoxy sealed version allowing reliable usage in demanding environments. Its low height of 16.2 mm and its standard frame as well as the standard contact layout qualifies the relay for use in different applications for a number of industries, including industry electronics, home and HVAC appliances and vending machines.
