Power relay offers higher capacity for control applications

Fujitsu Components America has added a high-capacity version to its FTR-K1 power relay series. The FTR-K1-HC relay is targeted at home appliance applications like oven controls, electric heating and air conditioners, and smart home automation.

The high-capacity relay available in a standard industry footprint is also suitable for industrial control applications such as furnaces and power supplies. FTR-K1-HC is RoHS-compliant and conforms to UL 508 safety and UL 94-VO flammability standards.

Fujitsu's new power relay — available in a footprint measuring 29 x 15.7 x 12 mm — features Class F coil insulation and a typical electrical life of 100,000 operations. The power consumption of this high-capacity relay amounts to 400 mW for the 5-, 6-, 12-, and 18-Vdc coils.

Next, the FTR-K1-HC relay boasts a resistive rating of 20 A at 277 Vac (85°C) on the normally open contacts. It's worth noting that Fujitsu’s FTR-K1 relay series features dielectric withstanding voltage of 1,000 Vac (50/60 Hz) one minute between open contacts and 5,000 Vac (50/60Hz) one minute between coil and contacts.

The FTR-K1-HC relay is available at $4.28 in quantities of up to 99 pieces.
