Exclusively available from distributor Switchtec is the first ever UK dedicated catalogue from Sirena, Europe's leading manufacturer of visual and acoustic signalling equipment.
With a footprint of 15.4 x 14mm and a height of 13.5mm, the diminutive PCB relay has two sets of contacts, each able to switch currents up to 30A, with a 25A motor load rating.
Factors driving the demand for this type of relay are the automotive industry's hunger for higher performance, greater reliability and smaller size.
The HFKA twin relay from Switchtec will find favour in applications such as power windows and doors, central door locks, sunroofs, seat adjustment and wiper control.
Weighing just 8g and sealed to IP67, the HFKA is designed specially for reliable use in automotive applications, and has a functional shock resistance rating of 100m/s2, and destructive figure of 1000m/s2.
The relay's insulation resistance is 100Mohm and it has a maximum operation time of 10ms.
A wide operating temperature range of -40 to +85C is accommodated.
Although the relay operates from a standard 12V system, a low pickup voltage version is available that "picks up" at 6.5V.
Similarly a reflow-soldering version is available.
The Hongfa HFKA twin relay from Switchtec is a market-leading product that enables design engineers to incorporate greater functionality while reducing the size and weight of vehicles' control systems.
