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)
Additionally, it offers the controlling circuit information on the relay status.
The new relay is based on the company's highly successful SF forced-contact relay range and offers contact 2a/2b or 4a/4b configurations that can switch 6A/250V AC to allow system designers maximum flexibility in its use.
Incorporating new contact designs the SFD relay range dramatically extends reliability in life operations, contact resistance and high current switching capability.
With a coil consumption of just 500mW the SFD can be directly interfaced to a wide range of control circuits without the need for intermediate coil driving devices usually associated with such relays.
The miniature packaging size of just 53 x 25 x 16mm (SFD2) allows inclusion in applications even where space is at a premium.
