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.
Locking clip contacts feature an innovative contact spring that during installation on to header posts performs no apparent function.
Attempts at removal however see the spring lock firmly on to the post ensuring the connection cannot be disturbed by shock, vibration or direct pulling on the wires.
When installed within the dedicated Locking Clip housings, removal can be simply achieved however by pulling directly on the housing which deflects the contact spring within the connector and releases the header post.
When using unhoused Locking Clip contacts, disconnection is achieved through the use of an inexpensive extraction tool.
Particularly suited for wire-to-board applications encountering vibration, shock or movement during their working life, Locking Clip connectors are available with single or double row UL94V0 rated housings and gold or tin plated crimp snap-in contacts for wire size ranges 20-30 AWG, in both loose piece or reeled packaging.
