Double pole, transparent cover and AC coil versions are rated to +70C, whereas all other models are rated to +85C, with all models offering 4kV isolation between coil and contacts, together with 8mm creepage distance.
As well as helping manufacturers to meet the RoHS directive regarding lead and cadmium, the RX family is available in either flux-proof or wash-tight versions to match volume production requirements.
DC coils feature a 500mW rating with 70/10% pull-in and release voltages, and the AC versions are rated at 0.75VA and 75/15%.
Single-pole models are available with either 3.5 or 5mm pitch pins, with the double pole models being 5mm.
