BENSHEIM – September 3rd, 2012 – TE presents its first bistable automotive plug-in relay in the maxi class.
The power relay F7 A latching is a bistable single-coil version realized with a permanent magnet. It expands the TE bistable relay portfolio with a plug-in version in the maxi class.
Bistable relays only need a short pulse of energy applied to the coil to change the switching state. It is not necessary for power to remain applied in order to maintain the switched state. Power consumption is very significantly reduced, especially for applications that must remain switched on over a long period of time. Power relay F7 A latching and other bistable relays offer several advantages over monostable (non-latching) variants.
The decreased coil power requirement in bistable relays translates to reduced temperature rise. This means at the same ambient temperature a bistable relay can conduct higher continuous current than a monostable relay. If a bistable relay and a monostable relay are carrying equal continuous currents, the bistable relay may be used at higher ambient temperature. Additionally, the vehicle’s energy consumption and thus the CO2 emissions are considerably reduced.
Given that relays consume up to 10% of a vehicle’s electric power, the power relay F7 A latching offers considerable energy saving potential within the vehicle.
