Signal relay series suitable for all applications in which a high inrush current can occur

Available now from TTI Europe, this Panasonic AGQ-TH signal relay has an inrush current of 3.5A that can be switched for 250ms (with parallel contact configuration). Another new feature is an additional 2.4V coil voltage. This makes the relay particularly suitable for battery-powered applications, thermostats, HVAC temperature controls, and all applications in which a high inrush current can occur. With the device it is offering a relay featuring a maximum built height above the circuit board of 5.2mm in the wired version and 5.65mm in the surface-mounted version. At 10.6mm in length and 7.2mm in width, it also has just 70% of the footprint of existing third generation telecoms relays. The spacing of 3.2mm between the coil and contact connections and 2.2mm between the contact connections ensures compliance with the Bellcore specification (2500V, 2x10µs) between the coil and contact, as well as a high withstand voltage (1500V, 10x160µs) between the open contacts.
