Extended temperature rating boosts power relay PCB density
Omron Electronic Components Europe has improved the temperature range of its Class-F coil insulation relays to boost the PCB packing density.
The G5NB-1A4-EL-HA-CF Class F power relay provides 5A switching from -40℃ to 105℃ PCB in a fully sealed power relay. A higher density of power relays on a board brings higher temperatures and potentially lower reliability.
The new power relay is based on the G5NB-1A4-EL-HA Class B power relay and allows a higher density of parts by operating at higher temperatures.
Applications range from HVAC and heat pumps, through domestic cooking equipment, washing machines and refrigerators, to industrial devices such as PLCs, I/O terminals and temperature controllers.
Fully sealed, the G5NB-1A4-EL-HA-CF type relays ensure a longer lifetime in environments up to 85℃. Alternatively, they can deliver the same lifetime as existing G5NB-E relays in considerably harsher temperature environments. VDE approval standards rate the Class F relay up to 50Kops at 105℃ and up to 100Kops at 85℃.
The new G5NB-EL-CF power relay is available now from authorised distributors and stockists throughout the UK and Europe.
