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)
This small lightweight design makes this switch ideal for space critical applications such as computer peripherals, cameras and car stereos.
For increased design flexibility the AV4 switch is available in a total of 24 different variations.
These include straight, angle and reverse angle terminal configurations for PCB mounting, and a solder terminal type.
In addition, three different actuator types are available (pin plunger, hinge lever and simulated roller lever) with a choice of gold or silver contact material.
Each AV4 switch has an estimated life span of a minimum of 300,000 operations and features impressive shock and vibration characteristics.
