Tyco expands power relay range

Tyco Electronics has extended its PB range of power relays with a version called PB6.

The PB6 miniature power relay provides an electrical life of 100,000 cycles at 85C, 250V AC, 10A.

It features the same mechanical dimensions as standard PB1 components.

However, the standard PB1 power relay, in comparison, only provides an electrical life of 30,000 cycles.

The PB6 miniature power relay is available in a normally open format and features a 500mW coil to operate the strong contact system.

The PB6 component uses environmentally-friendly cadmium-free contacts and features plastic materials according to IEC60335-1 as standard.

The device is suitable for cost-sensitive applications in the appliance industry, requiring a reliable switching performance.

Primary target applications are white goods, small home appliances, heating temperature controllers and vending machines.

In general, PB series power relays only require a PCB space of 225mm (15 x 15mm square and 20mm high).

Another feature of PB series power relays is the clearance and creepage distance of 4/5mm.
