Miniature high power relay operates from AC supply
Switchtec has made available Hongfa¹s HF115FA miniature high power relay operates from an AC supply. Such AC coil designs are uncommon and difficult to manufacture, thus the relay enables manufacturers and end users to use a small, high power relay where an AC supply is
available or preferred.
Aimeis suitable for a diverse range of applications such as control panels,
pumping applications, lift manufacturers, stair lifts and vending machines.
The low profile relay measures just 29.0x12.7x15.7mm high, and three
versions of the relay are available; a 12A SPDT, an 8A DPDT, and a 16A SPDT
with full terminal compatibility with industry standard sockets. Exhibiting
versatility, the HF115FA is available with coil voltages of 12, 24, 115 and
230VAC.
The high performance relay features a 5kV dielectric strength (between coils
and contacts), a specified creepage distance of 10mm, and sealed IP67 and
flux proof versions are available.
To compliment the range there are three styles of socket available to fit
the single and double pole versions. The 14FF-1Z-C2, 14FF-2Z-C2 and the
14FF-2Z-C3 sockets are all supplied with an ejector/retaining clip. Also
available is an eight-way jumper link, suppression modules and PCB sockets.
Approved to UL/CSA and VDE, the fully RoHS compliant HF115FA relay joins the
Hongfa 115F family of relays to complete and complement the range. The low
profile range of relays is colour coded for AC and DC types for Oat a
glance¹ recognition. All AC models are white and all DC models are black.
The process of developing a low profile AC coil is difficult and time
consuming, but Hongfa has drawn on its considerable expertise in relay
manufacturing to develop the AC coil to fit into the HF115FA low profile
relay.
