Tyco launches next-generation general-purpose relays
Tyco Electronics is introducing a new RZ series of general-purpose relays, developed from the company's RT relay. Suitable for modern applications such as household appliances, building automation, heating, timers, industrial controllers and point-of-sale automation, the next-generation RZ series relays offer one pole with 12A or 16A current rating and one CO or one NO contact. The devices have a rated voltage of 250V AC, 400mW coil power and reinforced insulation.
Standard RZ series relays feature an ambient temperature of 85degC, with the hot version being designed for ambient temperatures of up to 105degC. The devices are all VDE- and UL-approved, fully RoHS-compliant and meet appliance industry requirements of IEC 60335-1.
RZ series general-purpose relays are being manufactured at Tyco Electronics' fully automated manufacturing line in Waidhofen, Austria. This ensures short lead times for European customers.
