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)
The P4 series is available in a number of contact options ranging from 20 to 100 points.
This equates to a typical board area reduction of 30% compared with an equivalent 0.5mm-pin pitch connector on a 40-way connector.
The P4 connectors use the proven Matsushita bellows contact technology that aids correct and reliable connections in even high shock environments as found in portable equipment.
The P4 series also features a simple yet effective mating lock mechanism further diminishing the chances of unwanted contact separation.
The P4 series is ideal for applications where there is interconnection between FPC (flexible printed circuit) and a more traditional PCB - for example on the LCD screen of a mobile telephone or pager.
