Relay gives impressive performance for its size
With a width of just 5mm the slim-line PA relay now switches an impressive 5A @ 250VAC (previously 3A @ 250VAC)
No crimp-blade or screw terminals are needed and no soldering is required.
This all-new switch from Matsushita also features superior contact reliability because of its carefully designed dust prevention guard and gold-clad double-layer contacts.
The contact arrangements are optionally available in normally open and normally closed variants, and are rated 5V DC at 1mA to 30V DC at 0.1mA.
For further operational versatility, the CS-Switch is available in standard and backward lever positions and a pin plunger type.
These options allow fine-tuning for correct stroke setting, a key requirement for mechanical reliability.
In addition, there is a choice of four actuators that allow for increased flexibility in machine design and manufacture.
The comprehensive CS-Switch family comprises 32 variants in total and they are all UL and CSA approved.
Its excellent contact reliability and built-in connector make this compact device particularly suitable for use in vending machines, photocopiers, printers and even pinball machines.
