Switch to a quieter automotive relay
Ideal for use in the passenger compartment, V23145-A0101-A303 micro silent relays feature a noise level of under 50dB(A), compared with the typical 65dB(A) of a standard relay.
Using a reduced amount of combustible materials and offering low smoke generation, C-Lite cables are constructed from flame retarded, halogen-free cores and Raychem brand Zerohal outer cable sheath, meeting the requirements of SHF2 to IEC60092-350 and IEC60332-3 Category A.
The cables are also approved to Det Norske Veritas Standard (DNV) Specification 6-827.11-1.
C-Lite cables carry a 600V rating and are designed for an operating temperature range from -30 to +90C.
The reduced diameter of the C-Lite cables allows for a smaller bend radius and allows more cables to be accommodated within the same space envelope.
Alternatively, smaller and lower cost cable accessories can be used, resulting in further weight savings, for example smaller cable trays.
Weight savings result in reduced and easier "reaving" (cable pulling) time, allowing more cables to be simultaneously installed, resulting in faster installation times.
An additional benefit is that smaller cables and accessories result in either more "available" weight to be used for additional cabin space or lighter, faster, more fuel-efficient vessels. Request a free brochure from Tyco Electronics UK ...
