Signal relays for low level current switching

A signal relay is composed of coil that is secondary molded, which provides high insulation performance between the coil and the contact. Signal relays mainly have c-contact structure due to their purpose to switch current. These are compatible with reflow mounting and surface mount devices. Our signal relays are used for load switching typically under 2A and offer contact reliability, even if for a small signal load, due to their gold-plated contacts and bifurcated crossbar structures. Signal relays are commonly used in industrial devices such as machine tools, molding machines, welding machines, mounters, security devices, gaming machines, and testing and measuring devices.

Axicom IM Signal Relays

Our Axicom IM relays reliably and efficiently offer switch signal and low power in a small, low profile design. These products feature low coil power consumption supporting high density relay applications by reducing overall power consumption. These feature a shock-resistant design that can withstand shocks of up to 300 g-force, making a feasible solution for industrial applications. This versatile electromechanical relay supports multiple contact configurations and is engineered for high volume applied technologies, such as automotive infotainment systems, communications equipment, consumer electronics, building management systems, test and measurement machinery, and medical devices.

This electromechanical relay is designed to address the need for small components that can fit into increasingly smaller technology applications. Our Axicom IM relays are available in a range of contact structures (1 form A, 2 form A, 1 form C, 2 form C) with a lower cost impact compared to using solid state relays. These relays can support battery powered applications, with a bistable relay for reducing the consumption of constant power. It is available in a through-hole (THT) and surface mount (SMD) version for use on printed circuit boards (PCBs). To support high-density technology footprints, we are now offering a narrow PCB solder configuration in a THT and SMD version. For high-dense relay applications, we offer a lower coil power version supporting reduction of overall switching power supporting environmental power reduction targets. These relays support telecom standards, including Bellcore GR 1089, FCC Part 68, and ITU-T K20.
