New CIT Series of Lightweight Automotive Relays with Suppression Options Generate Low Coil Power Consumption
NORTHVALE, New Jersey, USA – New Yorker Electronics has announced its release of the new CIT Relay & Switch A6 Series of Automotive Relays. The RoHS compliant A6 Series is small and light weight and offers low coil power consumption. This makes it ideal for everything from household appliances to multiple automotive applications.
The CIT A6 switching current is up to 30A with contact arrangement choices of 1A or 1C. Coil voltage options are 12VDC and 24VDC with coil power choices of 0.9W and 1.3W. With PC pin mounting, the A6 Series is 22.5 x 15.0 x 25.2mm with an overall weight of 21g.
It also boasts a tested electrical life of 100K cycles with mechanical life of 10M cycles. Resistance values include its 100 m/s2 for 11 minutes shock resistance, 1.27mm double amplitude 10Hz to 40Hz vibration resistance, 50 milliohms contact resistance and 100M milliohms at 500VDC insulation resistance. With contacts constructed of a bimetal material, silver-tin oxide (AgSnO2), it maintains a dielectric strength of 500VRMS – both coil-to-contact and contact-to-contact.
It is available as a sealed unit or with a dust cover and with standard coil suppression, Diode (1N4005) Cathode on “86” terminal or resistor suppression device. They enable a small current flow circuit to control and operate a higher current circuit in vehicular applications and are ideal for use in everything from buses, RVs and tractors to lawnmowers, wheelchair lifts and golf carts.
